I saw a tele that someone did something similar to. Only they took the poly off, then applied a ton of flyers and such - all vintagey, aged, etc, and then clear coated over it to give a nice and smooth finish.
Haven't ever put stickers on basses. The current ones in the stable cost way too much to do that.
I have always carried a toolbox with my various music things; cords, batteries, etc.. The toolboxes I've had (past and present) have always been covered in stickers. So have hardshell cases.

It depends, some guitars lend themselves to stickering, some don't.
My problem is that I can never find any stickers I would want on my guitar. I had a cool one that I always thought would look sweet on an SG or Tele, but now that I have one I can'r find the sticker. :'(

If you were worried about resale value, you would keep the instrument in a temperature and humidity controlled environment and stare are it through double-paned glass. If you are going to play it, then it is going to get used and will accumulate its share of wear and dings. So then why not put a sticker on it, if you like it and it makes you happy? You can almost always take a sticker off, too, if it really is going to get you another Hamilton when you sell that Cyclone.
I wish I was as dedicated to my instrument as aen, he spray paints his (I think... I saw the tele with FU on it, pretty badass).
No comment.
No need to get angry on the internets. A cyclone isn't a vintage guitar... I was just pointing out that I wouldn't do that to a vintage guitar. And I said resale was the only con I could think of, not that it is a con to me, especially on a Cyclone.
There's a snake in my boots. Someone poisoned the waterhole!
Meh it's like bumper stickers and tatoos. I'll never do it, but if others do, so be it. I don't have a philosophical issue with it, and I can be pretty neurotic about this kind of thing.
A friend of mine wrote "I'm so metal" on her BC Rich Warlock out of irony. Why she has a Warlock to begin with is a mystery to me.

nah dude, not angry in the least...
ultimately, it is just a guitar - some wood and metal and plastic - and it is yours and you can do whatever makes you happy with / to it!
that is a beast....looks like it would kik your ass if you don't play it.
That poor instrument...
It started it's life as this... Then someone sold the body to Trading Musician... then I bought it.... filled in the trem hole and put a tele neck on it and some type of paf pickup... then I cut the horns, finished filling the trem rout with epoxy... chiseled the neck pocket for a bass neck.. The bass neck stated as a hohner neck that had a split fretboard that I found in a shop and i replaced the finger board [don't do this it is not fun] and was put on the first bass I built which was shaped like a rick 325 then removed do to it being tweaky... then I used it with a board for a body added piccolo bass strings and made a buzz bridge... finally we go back to where I chiseled the neck pocket for that neck, added two more tuners and strung it up in all kinds of ways... at this point it had a Jackson humbucker and a shitty EBO type of pickups... I then got sick again of the shitty neck and added the neck in the picture which is a cheap e-bay thingy... and then added the Teisco pickup. ATM it is in a box and is waiting for me to put a one-piece hondo P neck on it...
