Wrapping Guitars. Yes or Not?

    I have noticed there are few websites that offer adhesive skins for guitars that everyone can apply on their axes to customize em with a good graphic result, without spending lots of money in repainting them or bringing to a professional aerographer, and that can be easily removed or changed without damaging the guitar. What do you think? Are you open to this trend, or are you purists and you would never stick something on your axe? I've seen a user of this forum doing a great job on his guitar with a wrap, and I'm thinking to "copy" him ( cause I have the same guitar, not cause I'll use the same graphic :P ) But I'd like to know what the ESPers think about wraps... Tell your ideas

    hey, if anything is done right (and looks good) why not!

    Can you post a link to the graphics page you're talking about.

      this would probably have been best placed in the general discussion forum.
      also wrap away if you want.

        That's true, I'm sorry, maybe some moderator will move it.

        I think I'll do, I wanted just to see how many people know about this.

          The previous owner had it done by the guy who sells them on ebay. It's a vinyl print, so when applied properly it should stick pretty well.

                Any ideas where I can buy a wrapper (or skin) for my old style ESP explorer ? I really like the one pictures here...

                  That Phantom of the Opera Guitar looks a little Haggard around the pickups, as it it was rushed but otherwise pretty nice. That Explorer is awesome!

                    Kinda expensive, eventho it looks nice.. Too bad he didn't replace the pickups first

                        The 202's aren't half bad. I had a buddy who had one and the only thing he did was put an EMG in the bridge spot as he only used the bridge pickup. Really good for the price, but swap out the pickups and your in like flint!

                          Cool, thanks. I always thought that "relatively" cheap bolt-on construction guitars are problematic in the tuning/sustain department.
