Pimp Your Fender for $15... Hell Yeah!

[KingNuclear]

Well Ive been buying skins from this person for at least two years, unlike the cheap lame looking skins , this seller truly cares about his high quality products, and is the only skin seller that gives you , all three pieces to cover your guitar.
$15 for an amazing item.

They are way better than the skins EA/Rockbandwebsite has to offer, here is just a comparison of the quality and you only get 1 part skinned by the rb site. Again this is just MY PERSONAL OPINION.

I'm not trying to sell lame ****, or anything but honestly for the hardcore rockband/GH people these small effects really add to your game play experience.


Xplorer as Requested ( older model skin )

What is the best one you guys Think?


I'll go with the RoCKStaR #2

Iron cross will appeal to more of the adult/layed back classy crowd.

Rockstar is for your wild and crazy soloist

Shattered is your heavy metal friend with long hair who goes buck wild and listens to slayer.

The rock star one reminds me of paramores album cover for "Riot!"

[KingNuclear]

Yep really similar art styles on the multicolored allover spamming of some words :P

Did that inspire that guitars artwork? I assume yes

[KingNuclear]

I believe so, I ordered the Rockstar skin for my Strat and the Iron cross for my les paul.


Nothing like having something than your friends don't have when they see your Guitar compared to theres :D

So... Where do you get them? I would like to have them by the time I get my bundle.

[KingNuclear]

www.ghskinz.com

info@ghskinz.com

Shoot the guy an email and tell them KNuclear sent ya, hell give you detailed instructions to make sure you apply your skin flawlessly, and they take a few days to get. I might even spend a little extra, and get a custom made Metallica Fender, he said it would look outstanding.

Give him anything you want, and he will design it for you.

Trust me, bringing your guitar to friends, is not only bragging rights, but pretty much... Your the King ^^

[pipisongo]

After visiting the page I see why you posted only one drum skin. The rest are UUUUU,GLY.
The guitar skins are awesome though. I might get one.

[Ritualistic]

would be ok if they didnt slap their logo on the skin aswell really takes away from it.

[shoombabi]

Your the King ^^

And of course, we know:


It's good to be the king.

[Ultrace]

Until they show real pictures of the skins on the guitars (preferably with close-ups to show how they handle edges and such) and absolutely until they remove their logo from the skin designs, I won't even consider this place. There was apparently a message from one of the site owners recently posted that said they were going to be removing the logo and including it as a sticker with orders, but these new designs certainly don't reflect that.

[Ultrace]

That's one pic, and yes it does look nice from a distance, but I want to know how others look as well, and how the edges appear to mesh, since playing guitar involves your arms and hands hitting and rubbing various parts of it, making it easy to "peel" the skin away if it's not covering well...

[KingNuclear]

Well as long as you send them an email, for an extra dollar or so, they will take off the logos. of GH skinz, if not already taking them off for free.



for the sides, long as you place them on correctly it comes out nice.


I'll order two, and post the pics up by the end of the week.

Shoot them a quick email for high resolution close up pictures, it says right on his site for this : )

Edit: just talked to the guy personally, and hes going to send me a bunch of high resolution pictures, and is looking to throw out a few free skins, for bands that participate in my game challenge for "online BTW" scores!

Yay <3


-KNuclear-

post your idea of your perfect G.H. skin!

[Bullseye]

I'm partial to the Rockin Wild series, but that Iron Cross is nice.

OP: Did you say you've been using these skins for years? How do they hold up on guitars? The Strat looks so nice out of the box, that I have mixed feelings on skinning, but if these things are durable, that Bullseye design might be calling my name. I like these, but am more interested in skinning my Explorer (which looks so chintzy as is).

I've been using the Strat & Drums skins for about 3 weeks now and they are holding up perfectly. The guitar skin has not peeled, moved, or ripped. It still looks like the day that I bought it from them. The Drum skins are the same excellent quality, no rips or anything after playing on them for hours. Their skins are definately worth the money!

[KingNuclear]

I have skins on my PS2, GH1 SG & skined one of the two of my Xplorers.

Over eight months of constant abuse on the xplorer, and not one smudge, and no discoloration.

You all should know by now, I'll be the first to b-itch about anything if I don't think it is up to my standards.

You really want to put some effort into applying the skin nicely, if you **** up, thats about it really.


-Nuke-

I'll shoot up some screens when I get home.

[Bullseye]

Thanks for the speedy response. Sounds like a good deal. I don't have the skills nor the patience to hand paint these critters, so skins sounds like the solution. I just wish they had more photos of how "65" explorers look with their designs. I'd love to deck one out in a Zebra skin, so I might have to look into a custom. I particularly like those neck stickers (that's the worse part on the RB Strat).

[AgainstOne]

wow man, those are sick!

[TheRocker]

Those look awesome :D

Using an adhesive cream/spray peels vinyl right off, without stickyness/peels/rips/

If these werent good, I would of never posted.

[js1551]

he told me they couldnt do trademark logos:(

[dirty_bird32]

I like the Clapton graffiti guitar skin

[KingNuclear]

he told me they couldnt do trademark logos:(


What did you ask for?

He can Custom do anything, just not like a huge "gold record bandname", because that would be illegal to take something, example: Slayer Name logo and sell it.

You could get like Slayers logo on there though ; ) or any shape, design, style etc.


Your own name ingraved in the skin ^^; ( my idea)

[KingNuclear]

"We use the same vinyl they use on vehicle wraps for our product"

So your skin material, is made of what people get on when they order "Decals" on a car.

So your saying i could do it if it didnt say red hot chili peppers and was just the * logo

[Ldog12395]

haha, there is no copyright symbol in that picture so just send it to him and be like it's not copyrighted!

[js1551]

fyi they told me its around $35 for a custom one.

[Transbrak]

so its 15 bucks for a big sticker or am i missing something i dont like how its only the top of the guitar seems kinda cheap looking, why not just paint it, you can do anything you want and it comes out cheaper

[KingNuclear]

Big sticker?

more like high quality vinyl decals ,same as they use on your car.

[mattitude]

I'm not that impressed with these. Not ROCK enough. I prefer the stuff in the RB Store.

And... I've been to that site before, and noticed that the images you uploaded were a little different. I coulda swore each skin had a big fat "GHSKINZ.COM" (or whatever it is) logo/ad plastered on it. I could be wrong, but whatev. No matter how awesome the design is, if it has a big ugly ad on it, I'm not buying it.

[SplashFrog]

Hey man, thanks for sharing the site, looks pretty good. I'll probably end up getting one or two when I have some free time. You should suggest to him to also do the padding with drums to muffle the noise, I'm sure he'd get some extra business from that.

[Kylekillgannon]

....Impressive......

It really bothers me when someone tries to ruin a thread, without reading.

After discussion with them, they removed ALL ghskinz logos from the products.

I think the Rockstar is pretty "hardcore rock"

While the Shattered looks like Heavy Metal.

35 gets you a custom anything you want, keep it hush hush between you and him.

[webduelist]

do me a favor and never say pimp and guitar in the same sentence used a adjective (I think its been awhile sence ive had english)

better to just uses guitar decals.

[Black_Heaven]

Nice vinyl it may be, still a sticker since it sticks on, and yes I fully understand vinyl. None the less, a full face sticker is a good option for those not willing nor wanting to paint their controllers. Now what would be really nice is a vinyl wrap, granted that's not something most people are even capable of doing theirselves.

The customs are vinyl wraps, as Matt states but you really need extreme precision and steadiness or one mistake and the entire guitar *SKIN* is ruined.

I'm not too familiar with vinyl wraps, could you elaborate on how exactly it works/how it would be ruined if you don't mind?

[KingNuclear]

Quote from Matt the owner


The Quality of or skinz is stellar. The guitars and drums well hold up for a long time. We use the same vinyl they use on vehicle wraps for our product. (not that crappy paper sticker stuff). and we removed all logos from our skinz...im still working on the new artwork for the website but rest assured there are no logos on the printed product.


***
Wrap advertising (also a mobile billboard) is the marketing practice of completely covering (wrapping) a vehicle in an advertisement or livery, thus turning it into a mobile billboard. This can be achieved by simply painting the vehicle surface, but it is becoming more common today to use large vinyl sheets as decals. These can be removed with relative ease, making it much less expensive to change from one advertisement to another. Vehicles with large, flat surfaces, such as buses and light-rail carriages, are fairly easy to work with, though smaller cars with curved surfaces can also be wrapped in this manner.

It seems that they do listen to people too. I asked for the SRV Sunburst strat and they at first mentioned it will early 2008. I got another email last night that said they would be putting it out today!

Win one for Blues!

[KingNuclear]

It seems people prefer the Shattered by far.


Matt put up a few designs today to.

He listens to the people too, he took off all logos.

so it wraps the whole guitar.....not just the front like the ones you showed

and i dont think i would pay that much for something i could ruin so easily

he better be careful selling trademarked material, seeing that you plastered it all over a popular forum.

and is it just me or does it seem like your getting something out of this. I know salesmen that dont work this hard.

I work at Saks 5th Ave. at Somerset Mall in michigan, very high class prestigious mall. Sales Rep, 100% comission on thousand dollar items, that is hard work, not posting on my free time for business.


I am only getting the satisfaction of getting good skins, the seller is also to my new
knowledge living in the same state as myself, and I'd like to support good ole Michigan :p

[Mathias83]

Im ordering the Rock Star one, and might even try to get a custom made with the Paramore "Riot!" cover on it.

I think Riot! on a guitar seems cooler than Rock Star, but the RS looks cool.

Thanks for the link to this site mate, screw the haters. I mean, people are allowed to have doubts (I only have some on the neck adhesives) but it looks damn good.

[LesPaul5391]

Are they removable? Not fun when you buy a skin for you guitar which may break in a few weeks. Happened to me with my official rock band skin (the one in the first post). Rubber band whammy bar fix saved me from some anger.

[karmajack]

Do they by chance make skins for the faceplate on a PS3 Fender? I'd want silver or chrome if possible. With an all black neck.
