The plain white faceplate of the Wii
Guitar Hero III controller has proven to be an
excellent surface for artwork. Furthermore, the variety of
vinyl skins (as well as the omnipresent potential for custom-printed skins) means you easily have the opportunity to make your guitar look like anything you want, as long as
anything you want is shaped like a tiny Les Paul.
If you didn't have to worry about ruining the controller, and if you had the artistic ability or technical cleverness to achieve it, how would you customize your guitar? What imagery, and what methods? Would you paint something onto the faceplate, or make your own custom skin? Game characters, realistic guitar finishes, or
banana stickers?

If I could get it in black, I'd totally get some woodgrain contact paper for it.
But that's true for just about any black plastic videogame or accessory. Till that option becomes available, glossy Wii white is fine with me.

Well... Hello Kitty... Yes. Hello Kitty. Big stickers, rhinestones and hearts all over. People 2 towns over will know that in my household, it's the girl playing Guitar Hero III.

I'm seriously considering customizing my faceplate with a Metroid theme...

I was thinking some sort of picture with Ganon looking tough in front of some flames, maybe from a burning Hyrule castle.

Real wood can never take the place of woodgrain stickers on black plastic, and vice versa. A Guitar Hero guitar with an actual wood faceplate would be coming awful close to "authentic ukelele action".

A simple method for making stickers is contact paper and some tracing. Easy to do and doesn't look too shabby.
See some examples here:
