You have glossed over the point many have made. When sitting in a sea of black tolex, which one is yours is easily identifiable.

After many festivals and a guitar camp where for lunch there was a lineup of about 40 nearly identical guitar cases, I grabbed a Gwennies Restaurant of Anchorage bumper sticker next time I ate there (mmmm.... reindeer sausage omelet). Their bumper stickers are fluorescent pink and make a case really stand out. If your case won't take a sticker due to texture, there is always a length of orange or pink surveyor's tape or ribbon, used to mark stakes. Tie that around the handle and you are good to go.

Whatever, its your case. But a sticker should be a badge of where you went or what you did. Just a random collection seems meaningless and sloppy.

The case for my 15yr old Martin is the only one with stickers… I like all your pictures fellas.

Love it. My old (1976) case is ugly and beat to hell and I love the idea of making it a bit mire interesting this way. Are the Rolling Stone covers done with a special adhesive or in any particular way?

Two of the old guys I play with have cases covered with stickers. I think they look cool, but I never did it. I also think it looks good when construction guys put stickers all over their hardhats, but that's also something I never did even though I spent over 40 years wearing a hard hat.
Someone mentioned early in this thread that they didn't thing they could put stickers on an old Martin plastic case. My '79 D-35 has this sticker on the plastic case for and old NJ Folk Club. It's probably been on there since the guitar was new; |

Don't do stickers on cases. Don't do stickers on guitars. Don't do stickers on cars.
Don't do stickers. Take that back. I do have an NRA sticker on the back window of my truck. |

They are probably not random to the people who put them on.

Didn't know there were rules for this, maybe some people have fun doing it for whatever reason they wish. Your meaningless and sloppy is someone else's fun and adventure.

As I start to go out with this jam group, I am going to put some sort of identifying sticker or "something" on my case near the handle, so I or someone else picking it up can tell if it's mine or not theirs. Otherwise if you want to put stickers on your case and it means something to your and/or your guitar, have at it. If you are doing it to artificially cool yourself up, then I think that's the wrong reason, but that's up to you personally. I have no insight into it at all.

I looked at my black case in a line with a lot of other black cases at a jam and realized I wanted to make it easier to find in a crowd. So I went for fun, sloppy, adventurous, meaningless, whimsical and silly.
