£10 Guitar + Pokemon Cards + Too Much Time On Her Hands = Cool Stuff.
Once upon a time, a young girl with a love of Pokemon and her boyfriend's birthday on the way, decided to create a guitar of such awesomeness that she nearly wept...hang on, that was just from the glue fumes...

So basically, I took a load of my brother's cards that he didn't want anymore and stuck 'em all over a cheap guitar, trimming them to fit (yes, cutting into perfectly serviceable cards made me die a little inside, but I think it was worth it). It needs new strings and will be varnished at some point so that mucky hands don't mark poor Squirtle's little face...

Oh...my...GODDD!!
If I ever get a guitar, first thing I'll do is glue my Pokemon cards onto it. ; u ;
Though I will feel crushed giving up my cards!D:
But I guess we all have to make sacrifices,
to be the very best!;D

I'm sure it'd work fine, as long as you varnish the heck out of it. Or stick some thin clear plastic on top, which would make it more durable

Embarrassingly, it still hasn't been restrung or played properly yet, faily boyfriend that he is

But from what I've heard through tinkering, the sound hasn't been affected to a noticeable degree. Saying that, the effect on an uke may be more pronounced as it's smaller? Personally, I wouldn't try this out on any precious instrument, the guitar I used was a cheap second hand find. Hope this helps
