DIY Garbage Pail Kids Electric Guitar

Have you ever wanted to get your dull boring looking electric guitar, and add some style to it?....

I definitely did !.......One day i found my childhood collection of Garbage Pail Kid cards, and decided that i wanted to stick the stickers on my guitar , but the only problem with putting stickers on guitars is they eventually rub off or fade from shredding......In this easy 4 step DIY guide for all shredders on a budget ,I will show you how to seal the stickers on the guitar so that they don't fade,rub off, or peel off .....ever!... (without Sanding down the guitar, or using a chemical gloss,  ).... below is a list of some thing you will need

EQUIP
---------
Window Cleaner
Cloth Rag,or Towel
MOD PODGE - This is the Gloss your covering the stickers with,i got mine from hobby store for cheap
Paint Brush - or any other brush you desire to use
Your Favorite Stickers!

Step 1 - Get your guitar out of the case , and clean it with window cleaner or any other house hold cleaner with a cloth rag

Step 2 - When Dry apply your favorite stickers wherever you want on your guitar (choose placement wisely cuz they're not gonna come off)

Step 3 - When all stickers are in place, apply 2 or 3 coats of MOD PODGE with a Paint Brush, or however many coats you want to put on.

Step 4 - Relax, and allow your guitar to dry for a few hours - MOD PODGE drys pretty quick. When its all nice and dry to touch , START SHREDDING!!!!!!

Below are Pics of my guitars final product for this DIY guide

I hope this DIY guide helps everyone! CHEERS!
