 Cool guitar skin September 15, 2008
A few months ago I found this cool design (Octopus) on Amazon for sale and I wanted to buy it for my Rock Band guitar. I knew they were stickers, the "skins" word didn't confuse me - and from the photo it looked like a sticker.
After I got it in the mail I immediately went to put it on my rock band guitar. The material of the sticker is pretty thick and made of some kind of plastic or something, the material of the sticker is really smooth.
Anyway, I just peeled it off and placed it as best I could on the guitar. I think the first time I didn't do so good, so I was able to remove the sticker and re-apply it. (I also think on the box/slip it came in, it said it was removable - or something).
One little problem was there were some air bubbles in some places. I was able to remove the sticker and slowly put it back on, smoothing out the bubbles. There were still a couple, but they are hardly noticable.
I haven't noticed any wear on the design from me or anyone else playing the guitar, and I play often and it's been a few months.
So, I am enjoying this awesome design on my Rock Band guitar and when Rock Band 2 special edition comes out, if there isn't a design already on the body of the guitar, I will for sure buy the "Tiger" skin for it.
 Horrible stickers for a great game... June 30, 2008
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
First off, I'm an avid player and fan of Rock Band and a founding member of the band Big Ole' Mollusk (Check the Xbox 360 leaderboards!). It's one of the greatest games ever made. I was stoked to get these skins to set the various guitars we play with apart from one another. I bought the tiger design for myself and the octopus one for my brother-in-law. The designs are cool, and I got these instead of an off brand because they fit the art found in the game itself, and I though that was pretty cool. However, these are just flat out substandard.
When we got them, I was disappointed by what they were--stickers. I thought they'd be plastic static stickers that could come off and be swapped out, but they are flat out stickers. You put them on and that's pretty much it. You've got a big ole' sticker on your guitar. (You could go buy some stickers and trick your guitar out with those and be much happier). Maybe they should market them as Rock Band stickers, not rock band skins.
The real reason not to EVER, EVER, EVER buy these is, however, is the cheap quality. We put them on played for about four hours. The next time we played, we put in about two more hours, and I noticed that the edges had started to turn white. In less than SIX hours, they colors started to rub off of these stickers!!!! Did they not think that your hand and arm would be rubbing against these for hours? Did they even quality test these pieces of junk? (On a side note, the sticker of an 8 Ball that my nephew put on his guitar has been there for months and has held up perfectly, even thought it's just a generic kid's sticker.)
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT buy these skins! Both of our stickers have faded after two playing sessions.
If you want to trick out your rock band guitar, I'd suggest either getting your own stickers since that's all these pieces of garbage are, or getting the plastic skins sold by AMR Racing here on Amazon (I haven't tried them yet, but they have to be better than these things!!!).
Ultimately, I wasted 20 bucks buying two of these and pretty much ruined the face of my guitar with whited out, cheap stickers. I'll have to scrape them off and use some Goo Gone to get rid of the last vestiges of this colossal waste of 20 bucks. Thanks for nothing MTV games. Great game, horrible stickers.
