Stickers on guitars

Post by proroby »

How many people do this? I'm not quite hardcore enough like Sonic Youth to put stickers all over a vintage guitar, but I've been wavering towards putting all my saved up fuzz stickers on my Cyclone. The only con I can think of is resale value... I demand pictures! 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).

I put stickers on cases, don't like them on instruments anymore.

It's about the only thing I've grow'd up about since high school really.

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.

I'd never put a sticker on my guitar until December... and it was an old Yamaha acoustic, now blessed with an I <3 FUZZ sticker.

OH THE IRONY

I have I <3 FUZZ stickers covering the "PEDALTRAIN" logo on both of my pedalboards, and FUZZHUGGER stickers covering the logo on the carrying case. Other than that, guitars are sticker free.

If you have one you really like, do it. It's not like a tattoo or anything. Otherwise I wouldn't risk a flavour of the month sticker.

All three of my guitars have 1 well placed ILF/FH sticker one them...edge of the bottom horn. My first bass was covered in stickers, mostly punk bands. I eventually cleaned them off when I stopped playing it and sold it.

Of all the guitar I've seen with stickers, I feel like only Stratocasters and Teles look good with them.

I like stickers on certain instruments. One time, I wheatpasted then clear coated flyers onto a bass for maximum PUNX. But, no stickers on my two main basses. No way no how.
