Sideline - what do you folk reckon when repairmen unasked shove their ad sticker on your headstock or in your case? I've had it happen several times and while I don't mind for a good repair guy, I like to be asked first.

I reckon it's bad enough when they put a sticker on your car when they've fixed the exhaust or whtever [pisses me off no end, because they never ask you, you have to tell them not to! and it's just free advertising for them], but a sticker on your gat is a whole 'nother thing again... there'd be hell to pay...

Yeah, Tsuken, great when people appreciate your efforts to produce something fresh. Also great when someone reputable tells you what it's worth (?)....and you know your investment (money, time and effort) was worth it! :lol:

If a repair guy did that, I would be thoroughly annoyed.

Needless to say the sticker would be removed and destroyed the moment I lay my eyes on it. That's the sort of shit that makes you avoid a company rather than say "oh look honey, what a superb company, their ad has made me wish to do business with them".

Case... forgivable.

Headstock... serious talking to.

Good! I was thinking I was a bit over the top wanting to rearrange features with broken bottles etc. but obviously I'm not alone with that sort of feeling

Yes the stickers have been on the back of the headstock and yes unasked for/uninvited.

If any goon put something sticky on any of my babies, there would be hell to pay.

Hell yes! I mean putting adverts on the guitar is onething - but moving to *that* level of guitar defacing - thats just obscene! (Id sooner burn the guitar than try to get *that* off )

i had that to my martin and didnt think anything of it til u brought it up, now im actually rather pissed. as for the sticker thing in general i stickered up my first guitar but havnt done any since then. my all time favorite musician would have to be rivers cuomo, i got a guitar similar to his, same strap as him and at some stage think i might sticker it up just like him too :P
