Stickers on your guitar

Do any of you guys have stickers on your guitar? Let's see some pictures of things that people have on their guitar. I don't have any stickers, but I did recently put a wall mount bottle opener on my guitar. As soon as I can I will get a picture up for you guys.

I'd rather not, although putting stickers on your guitar can be fun. I have a '69 blond Tele, and in the '70s I had some stickers on it. I took them off by the late '70s, but you can still see faint areas where the stickers were.

I'll do anything to a guitar that'll make it sound better.

It's like those stripes on cars them make them go faster...

All for it. I have a Squier Affinity Tele with a Yin-Yang vinyl sticker on it. If you're doing it for fun, do whatever you call fun.

I used to have a bottle opener on one too! That's awesome! Where did you put it? Mine was a salvage opener from the 40's and I ended up putting it on the upper bout and then having to use a gig bag because I couldn't latch the case! *doh!*

I think you should make them your own...if it's your own just the way it came, then that's great (you've got the feeling we're seeking by muckin' ours up!), but I can never leave well enough alone.



I've got one that's pretty covered in stickers - and it all started because someone smacked an "Indy CD & Vinyl" (the record shop sponsoring the show) sticker on it while we were playing. I knew I'd take it off once I got home (haha!) but then it I didn't and it kind of grew on me. Now it's got one of our bands stickers, a Katy K sticker and some other various stuff slapped on it.

Do what you want and have fun with it!

Mostly I don't, but I got this rather default looking white strat that was asking for one:



And I like this shooting star I stuck on my Yamaha acoustic:

Sorry but I paid too much for my guitars and I like the way they look sans stickers.

I have a small rectangular decal on the pickguard of my old Tele that says "Upgraded to Revision B". I've had a lot of questions about that from other players.

I hate stickers especially other peoples stickers on their guitars. Worse is the Apple stickers. The only good thing about stickers on guitars is that it tends to piss people off.

I do like the Nick Nolte racing stripes though.

Only on my Kramer, prior to me restoring and upgrading it. I took these shots to remember what it used to look like. There used to be more stickers on it (and a band aid) but they fell off.



Yes, those are mirrors that I glued on. I was (am) a huge Syd Barat fan.



Even the back was not spared:



Some of them are vintage: Hartford Whalers, Winnipeg Jets, old Sabres and Cannucks logos...

Close your eyes Surfoverb!

Guitar stickers, kinda like bumper stickers. Says something about the owner. I prefer to be anonymous.

I still have the red Fender sticker that came on my Baja, and the sticker on my Ric that says "Made in U.S.A." Oh, and the one that says "Fender Super Bullets" on the back of my Strat. I kinda thought I'd leave those there until they fell off, or something...

stickers...

Once upon a time there were stickers on my 68. It had to feet and a stud oil sticker. They were gone by the time I got it, but the difference in finish color will alwasy be evident. Check it out in the avatar.
