I appreciate a well worn and stickered Strat or the like, and I appreciate a single well placed sticker on a Schecter or something else similar in a solid color (Say a black 13 on a Pewter guitar). A lot of them just look bad though. The positive of the think poly Fender finishes is that if you don't like it you can pull it off soon and you'll never now it was there! ;)

:thu:

Some oil or butter and soap, a soft rag, and patience can get your guitar cleaned up from stickers. I had to use that to save a guitar. Doesn't screw up the finish either.

I thought the Boondock saints was a great film, kinda tarantinoesque and with some fantastic moments. Most people I meet have never heard of it which is funny. That said, I still wouldn't stick it on my guitar. but that's just me . good film though..

Um, good stickers, yes. I'd avoid any you bought at Hot Topic... nothing against shopping there, but Hot Topic stickers on a gee-tar screams wanna-be punk bad. Use bizarre 70s bumper stickers from the flea market, gold stars from your 3rd grade book report or glue old comic book pages all over the body... like me.

I think it's just like having a logo t-shirt or a plain shirt, some people like to be extraverted and some don't.

 

 

agreed. the way i view it, is why would you purposefully make yourself into an advertisement for something else? {censored}, if you designed the sticker/art to be placed onto your guitar, then do it. but do you really want to be supporting/promoting something other than your music?

I thinking you strenching the whole anti-commercialism thing a bit far, but you do have a point, you want to avoid looking like an advertisement.

Aren't those Silverchair guys like 16, thus proving our point?

There are some on the back of my strat but none on the front.



Well, yes they were when they started, they actually were 15 when they released the first album, not 100% sure though.

Those pics look recent though, they should be around 23 or so now.

I hate when people put stickers on their guitars... especially their band's stickers.
:rolleyes:





+1


Tom Scholz's '69 Les Paul has a Boston sticker on it.....he's "that" dude at the show. I still love his playing, though.



Its almost as bad as bands that wear their own t-shirts at their shows.
