FAQ About Skin Your Skunk Guitar Skins


Q: Will the skin fit my specific guitar?
A: Yes, our skins do not come pre-cut. You receive a rectangular skin that you apply and trim to fit to ensure a perfect, custom skin.

Q: Can I remove my skin?
A: Yes, our skins are removable and do not cause any residue or damage to the instrument if removed. However, once removed, they cannot be re-applied.

Q: Does the skin wrap around the guitar?
A: No, our skins are meant to be applied to the front, back, headstock, or pickguard of the guitar. They do not wrap around the whole guitar. Since our material is stretchy, you can wrap the skin around the sides of the guitar to an extent.

Q: Why do you need my guitar measurements?
A: To ensure the skin will fit your guitar, we need the width and height of the guitar's body/headstock/pickguard while the guitar is horizontal as if you were playing. With the variety of guitar shapes and sizes, we need these measurements so we know what dimensions to print your skin at.

Q: Can I return or exchange my skin if I don't like it?
A: No, we do not accept returns or exchanges. Since each product is specifically printed based on your dimensions and the design you choose, we cannot take it back. However, if you receive a damages or defective skin, we will do everything we can to reconcile the transaction. We want happy customers and will work with specific situations.

Q: What size image do you need for a custom skin?
A: Since our skins are printed quite large, in order to avoid a blurry or pixelated image we need a photo that is at least 1,500 pixels or about 2MP. If you have a smaller image, we may be able to alter it to enlarge it but it will not look exactly the same.

Q: How long does it take to receive my skin?
A: Once you approve your proof and your design is sent to our printing department, it takes about 2-3 business days to complete. Then it is shipped out via USPS Priority Mail which is 1-3 business day delivery, or USPS First Class Mail which is 1-7 business day delivery. We ship internationally via USPS First Class International Mail which is 7-14 business day delivery but could take up to 30 days. Since we have no control over the post office, we cannot guarantee any delivery times.

Q: Can I get expedited shipping?
A: Yes, you can request expedited shipping for an additional cost.

Q: How do I install my guitar skin?
A: Here is a link to our installation instructions: http://skinyourskunk.com/guitar-skin-installation-instructions.html

Q. What is high-definition and high-resolution?
A. Our images are high-definition meaning they are huge, high-quality and never appear blurred or pixelated.  These images are printed on $25,000.00 printers at up to 1440 DPI (dots per inch) on our exclusive, premium materials.  Simply put...no one produces a more detailed, vibrant, beautiful or professional product.  We have perfected this process over many years and continue to modify our product as technology advances.

Top 10 Halloween Songs

Halloween is almost here and we'd like to celebrate with, of course, MUSIC!!! 

Here's a list of Halloween's top 10 songs (according to billboard.com):

10. “This Is Halloween” - Danny Elfman
Venerable composer Danny Elfman got a big assist from the citizens of Halloween Town for this Nightmare Before Christmas favorite, which was famously covered by Marilyn Manson in 2006.


9. “Highway to Hell” - AC/DC
Pitch-black metal from down under, AC/DC drove "Highway" to No. 47 on the Hot 100 in 1979.

8. “Don't Fear the Reaper” - Blue Oyster Cult
This mid-tempo rocker, which hit No. 12 on the Hot 100 in 1976 for Blue Oyster Cult, isn't spooky at all until you consider the lyrics told from the point of view of some death-friendly dude trying to induce his gal to join him and not "fear the reaper."

7. “Creep” - Radiohead
Though far from the creepiest-sounding dirge in Radiohead’s now-lengthy catalog, radio has always had a love for the band’s breakthrough hit, which is especially relevant when Halloween rolls around. It’s just too bad Radiohead’s career peaked here… kidding!


6. “Superstition” - Stevie Wonder

On one of his signature songs, Stevie Wonder pleads with his listeners to ignore talk of broken mirrors and walking under ladders. “Superstition ain't the way,” he preaches in this 1972 song, but there’s something about that funk that still sounds almost… spooky.

5. “Werewolves of London" - Warren Zevon

A perfect Halloween entry from the (late, great) Warren Zevon, who also famously sang "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead," is this howling Me Generation rocker that rose to No. 21 on the Hot 100 in 1978.


4. “Deal With the Devil” - Pop Evil

Here’s a recent entry to the list -- Pop Evil’s chugging, hard rock single “Deal With the Devil.” Coming from the band’s 2013 set Onyx, it topped Mainstream Rock Songs and peaked at No. 20 in Rock Airplay.

3. “Ghostbusters” - Ray Parker, Jr.

When October rolls around, the clear answer to the lyrical question, "Who ya gonna call?," is Ray Parker Jr.'s "Ghostbusters," which topped the Hot 100 in 1984.

2. "Monster Mash" - Bobby "Boris" Pickett & the Crypt-Kickers

Though it's been decades since this kitschy, creepy faux-Frankenstein party tune scared up a No. 1 slot on the Hot 100 in 1962, Bobby "Boris" Pickett & the Crypt-Kickers' "Monster Mash" has been on Halloween party playlists ever since. Read about 50 Years of "Monster Mash"


1. "Thriller" - Michael Jackson

"Thriller," which hit No. 4 on the Hot 100 in 1984, is the most-downloaded Halloween-themed hit of all-time, with digital sales to-date of 3.4 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan. (It's also Jackson's best-selling download, ahead of runner-up "Billie Jean," which has sold 2.7 million).

Announcing Our Charity…AxeWarrior.com!

Mark Witten (owner of SkinYourSkunk.com) and Randy G. (military veteran) have just begun work on AxeWarrior.com.  A charity for all “Warriors” including military, police, EMS, firefighters, etc.

facebook-101116

What We Do...

At AxeWarrior.com we create and customize guitars into "one of a kind", fully functional works of art with designs related to military, police, EMS and other "Warriors" who help, support and keep American citizens safe.


We purchase carefully used electric, bass and acoustic guitars and skin them with beautiful, artistic designed, premium vinyl and offer them for sale to the public.  We fix and/or upgrade the hardware and offer these instruments for sale and/or auction.


All profits from these sales are donated to a military charity or other supporting group to help them continue and expand their efforts in providing comfort and help to the many men and woman who do, and have previously served our country.

Our Promise...

Randy contributes his skills as a Luthier to make any repairs necessary, completely and professionally set-up each guitar, and applies our graphics to each custom guitar. Every instrument will be in "better than new" condition and sound as good if not better then when it was brand new.


All pictures provided are of the actual, completed guitar and the description will go into detail about the original guitar, what upgrades and work was performed and a factual review of the final instrument.
Each guitar is a one of a kind tribute piece, worthy of display and ready to rock for many years to come.  A guitar you will be proud to own!


100% of the profit from the sale or auction will be donated to a related "Warrior" charity and we will announce and provide a picture of the donation.

Support Our Efforts…

In addition to our upcoming auctions of exclusive designed guitars, we also carry a line of SkinYourSkunk.com brand guitar skins in the genre of our charity.  See them all on our Guitar Skin Page and for each skin purchased, our charity receives 20% of the full sale.

Also…AwesomeHipFlasks.com has produced an 8oz, stainless flask with our logo and design.  For each flask purchased, our charity receives $5.00.  Simply click the flask design near the bottom of our Home Page.

Help spread the word by liking or sharing our Facebook Page!

And of course…watch for our upcoming first guitar auction at AxeWarrior.com!  Our first auction will feature our 2016 FDNY Guitar Design.

Beauty is Truly Skin Deep


Any guitar of any quality can now be augmented to look like something that costs hundreds or thousands of dollars more in about an hour.  Choose from our classic or extreme designs, select your size and finish and then attach and trim to fit your instrument.


Each Exotic Skin set includes a body and matching headstock skin.


Our exclusive process, materials and graphics allow us to produce something no other manufacturer can provide.  Beauty, quality and visual appeal at a reasonable price.





What is so Special About Our Skins?


Consider for a moment that we are working with awesome graphic artists, with access to software that is used to make movies and CGI.  Think about how up until now, all wood and inlay style instruments have required hand trimming and laying of actual wood.


The freedom to design when your options, materials and techniques are unlimited means that the artist is unrestricted.  Abalone, exotic woods, metals and other textures can be combined, shaped and manipulated into any style of inlay or overlay...even 2D objects.  There are no restrictions other than imagination.

Skin Your Skunk Installation Instructions

Congratulations on choosing a Skin Your Skunk Guitar Skin! Now comes the fun part. Installing your skin is a fairly easy process but does require some time and patience. If you follow the instructions below, you should have no trouble at all.

When you get your skin home, remove it from the tube and allow it time to flatten out (because it was rolled). This can be done by placing it face up on a table with a soft book or two laid on top of it. It may take a few hours to completely flatten. While you are waiting, you should collect your tools and prepare your work space for application.

What you will need:
• Warm, soapy water
• Paper towels
• Scissors
• Razor blades
• Soft Squeegee

Step 1
Remove all the hardware from your guitar.

Step 2
Clean your guitar. Warm, soapy water works well. 

Step 3
Apply your skin by peeling one side off the white and sticking it to your guitar. Slowly roll the white out from under the skin while pressing the skin in place.


Step 4
Once the white is completely rolled away, squeegee the whole surface of the guitar to fully activate the adhesive. 


Step 5
Cut out the parts of your skin where the hardware goes. 

Step 6
Cut around the edge of the guitar holding your razor blade perpendicular to the guitar's face. 

Note: Remember that you can always cut more of the skin away but you cannot re-add it once it's gone.

Step 7
Reattach your hardware.

Step 8
Repeat the process for your headstock skin. 

Tips & Tricks

• Remember that you can always cut more of your skin away but you can never put it back once it's cut.

• Use the right tools! Scissors, razors, a clean paper towel, etc.

• Completely clean the surface you are applying your skin to. Nothing sticks to a dirty surface.

• The more hardware you remove from your guitar prior to installation, the easier it will be to install your skin.

• If it takes less than one hour to install your skin, you are likely not being careful enough.

• Have a friend help you. Four hands are better than two.

• Once your skin is installed, touch up the edges of the skin with a black marker.
