Stickers on guitars

Post by NickD »

Yes or no?

Personally I hate them, and I've picked up a few bargains where bad stickers have reduced the laue of a guitar significantly so I can't be the only one.

Don't like. I see other people pulling it off but I don't like them on mine.

The worst thing is copying stickers from famous people.
Other than that, I don't have strong feelings either way.

Awful.

If you put stickers on a guitar then you're a fucking idiot. Get your fucking head sorted out. If you were a real man then you'd paint the design on to the guitar. If you lack the dick and balls to do so then don't put a fucking sticker on it like a fucking ballbag. It's a GUITAR, not a pencil case. Show some re-cocking-spect.

if you are a teen in a punk band and your guitar is trash anyway, then stickers are great, but for anyone else its stupid

pinups on guitars are stupid-- save that shit for your WW2 bomber or your rockabilly tattoos

Lol, can't disagree. I want a Paul Ryan erotically holding a large gourd with pig tails in his hair. Oh yeah, and a 5 o'clock shadow.

As a rule, I don't like stickers on my guitars. I would rather see the natural finish and they tend to trash up the guitar.

I do have a strawberry decal on my 1973 Bronco, but it actually looks good and it was on the guitar when I got it.

I am not opposed to stickers on a guitar case. I have an SKB case I have stickered up, but not on the instrument.

It would be cool if every shortscaler sent in a sticker and we did a sticker collage on a cheap guitar or case. It would be cool if the stickers were local or regional to your area.

I covered my first guitar in stickers twice. The first time I just covered it in random stickers and I hated it so I took them all off. Then I recovered it again with stickers from bands I actually liked and I still didn't like the way it looked so I removed them all again, except for one. The only one I kept on there was because it's over a part on the guitar where my sweat ate through the clear coat and it looks all dull there anyway. Yes it's a blink 182 sticker because they were one of the reasons I started playing guitar and probably the main reason I actually learned to play so I don't care if you don't like them.

Other than that I like pinups, but that's it.
