Members seven58 Posted August 19, 2010 Members Share Posted August 19, 2010 I only have one guitar, well, now two, guitars covered with stickers. I covered my first guitar with stickers. I still have it, but it is just a cheap Kay. It means something to me because I paid for it myself and learned a lot practicing with it 23 years ago. I wanted to capture the nostalgia of a stickered guitar, but with a real player. My victim was a Kramer ST610 that I got a really good deal on a couple of years ago. Since most of the stickers had an 80's vibe, I thought for continuity an 80's guitar would be best. Before... After... The inspiration... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members seven58 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 19, 2010 Cool lowbrow. There is actually an art to getting a lot of stickers to fit on a guitar with the best amount of overlap and exposure. I wanted my guitar to look like a wall you would have seen in CBGB's.

Members A_Gitarman Posted August 19, 2010 Members Share Posted August 19, 2010 Definitely looks like a wall you would have seen at CBGB's. yeah, that poor thing has had just about everything done to it: stickers, paint, {censored} nailed to it, holes drilled into it, etc. It was my 'art project' for a year or two back in the early 90's. I keep saying that I'm going to pull it down off of the wall & get it playable again just for old times sake, but somehow never get around to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Inazone Posted August 19, 2010 Members Share Posted August 19, 2010 I don't have a pic of the guitar by itself, and this live shot is a bit "artsy" for getting a very good sense of the details, but the guitar has an urban camo fabric "finish" with a number of military decals. It actually sounds quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sylvesterlowery Posted August 19, 2010 Members Share Posted August 19, 2010 Well, my stickered up monster has been scaled back recently. Don't know why, just decided one day to remove most of them. Before: Now (far right): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Muddslide Posted August 20, 2010 Members Share Posted August 20, 2010 I don't have any stickered guitars anymore, but I like certain stickers and don't have any "problem" with them. I do have a bunch of stickers on the case for my #1 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sylvesterlowery Posted August 20, 2010 Members Share Posted August 20, 2010 Yeah, I just got tired of explaining it to people. Originally, it started as a tribute to Jeff Hanneman of Slayer and Andreas Kisser of Sepultura. Both have two of my favorite stickered guitars of all time. Then I had to hide it from my niece who is learning to read. And I have one of my own so there ya go. I have one other guitar with a sticker, the rest are sticker-free. It the logo for the band Suffocation. Best death metal band ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
