• Great Way to Personalize Your Guitar Hero III Axe

  The "skin" stickers for Wii's Guitar Hero III Gibson Les Paul Guitar are just the thing to make your axe (guitar) stand-out in a competition. When you order one, it is shipped in a LARGE (15 x 18 or so) reinforced envelope that is flat, and it came by USPS, so if someone isn't home to receive it, you'll be making a trip to the post office, but that trip is worth it because the decal is a beauty.
  
  I chose the Cherry Sunburst because I have a Les Paul with a Cherry Sunburst finish. The skin is easy to remove from its backing, and goes on easy. I put the head stock on first at the end of the fret bar, so I could get a feel for the skin. The skin is very forgiving, allowing you to remove it for replacement if it gets askewed while applying. Like most skins, you'll get a few bubbles in it, but you can smooth those out by working them out from the center to the outside.
  
  I applied all of the skins, including the one to the control. Speaking of which, be sure to open the slits where the speaker is on the control. Those almost have to be poked-out with a round edge of a paper clip (don't use a knife unless your hand is real steady because you may accidentally cut the opening larger than it is already).
  
  Overall, this is a great product and you can find it with several dozen designs.
  
  

• Dramatically changes the look of your controller

  Compared to the stark, plain white look of the stock controller, this skin really pops.
  
  The skin itself is reasonably easy to apply. I managed to get the main body skin on without any bubbles by myself, but it probably would have been easier to do with some help. The adhesive takes a little while to cure so you can peel it back and restick it many times if you get a small bubble or if the alignment is off. Speaking of which, the die cut isn't 100% precise but the vinyl is flexible enough that you can stretch or bend it without it bunching up. There's still slivers of white around the edges though, but overall you'd have to look pretty closely to tell. I didn't put the headstock decal on yet since it covers up the Gibson logo.
  
  As far as the look goes, that's where I'm holding back the last star. It's called a "cherry" sunburst, but it's really just an orange-red radial gradient. There's no hint of wood grain in the print, which I would have liked to add that extra little touch of realism. The pick guard, pickups and even the strings that are printed on look fantastic though. Another reason I didn't put the headstock decal on is because there aren't any strings printed on it coming off the holes where the tuning pegs would be. If you get the Wii version, be sure to put the remote decal on because it'll look really weird without it.
