(please ignore the dirty socks)

I've got a really bad idea. I might actually go through with it though.

The Carter Starter beforehand



What it could look like...

Looks great to me. Go for it!! (Hey, it's not like you're devaluing a collectable guitar or anything)

you know, you can go to your local sign shop and buy ALL kinds of cool vinyl - metallic, shade shifter, reflectant, prismatic, etc - the kind of stuff they cut decals out of for cars. the good thing about that is that if you change your mind, you just peel the vinyl off. plus, its a flat surface so it will be easy to apply.
they will have color charts for you to pick from just like a paint store.

I tried real hard, but I couldn't ignore the dirty socks.

Didn't Jeff Newman used to use sticky vinyl to change the look of his guitars?

Couldn't you incorporate the dirty socks in the finished job somehow?

I have a small sign business and I have wondered myself if my vinyl would cover another color. The premium vinyl is thinner than the cheaper stuff. I might try to cover the top of my Derby and see if it will not let the light top color show through. If it works I could have different guitar every gig!

Clinton,

You need to get rid of those white socks (I use the term white loosely) and get some black socks.

You get better tone with black socks!!! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Everyone knows that. HaHaHa!!!
