Kinda looks like what I was talkin about in the one I started a few minutes ago

I saw those at NAMM.  Not really something I would be interested in.

I saw one on a bass of a local bar band.  First off, it was leopard print.  Second, it looked and felt like spandex. 

Pass.

I'm interested in any feedback.  Could look good on a boring single color

 

[Taylor_B92]

Lol. Hold on a sec... Spandex? Eww. Lol. I'm kinda interested too though. I wouldn't have to get my guitar painted for one picture that I'd most likely get tired of lookin at after a month of seein it. Lol.

I hope these don't catch on, i'm no fan.

I'm thinking of getting one just to play with.  They are cheap so what the hell.  I'll probably put it on the Red Tele (stock W poly finish-> won't scratch).

I'll post some pics as I go.

just a thought...would not use one of these on a guitar with nitro finish. my sweat would soak into the wrap and then into the finish. you'd want to remove the wrap after a night of jamming in a hot club/bar and whipe it down real good. poly probably be ok.

No experience with these exact products.
I made something similar on my LTD viper, beater guitar.
I had a poster from National Geographic of the surface of the sun...I just sprayed some adhesive on it and stuck her on there.
check it out...
Looks cool...but it's permanent...If these are safely removable I say go for it

 

[mayfly]

From the FAQ on the site, these are safe to remove.

I just placed my order... and no it's not leopard!  :icon_jokercolor:

[mayfly]

I would totally get a cheetah print spandex guitar cover if I were in an 80s metal cover band.  If only you could also get white sneakers for a guitar...
