Location: johnston RI | Today i go into a local coffee shop to get coffee, and there i see a red Ultra-GS, but this wansnt an ordinary GS, it was covered in stickers advertising a goddamn blues jam thats taking place tonight, the guitar wasnt even going to be played, it was just there for advertising, this made me pretty mad. |

Location: Central Oregon | I'm with Peterbright, go make 'em an offer. If that's all they're using it for they must not think it's worth anything.
I see an opportunity here. Hell, offer 'em $20 for the stickers & tell 'em you'll give 'em another ten spot for the "sticker mount".
Or- Maybe buy a shiney POS from a hock shop for $40 & offer 'em a fresh "sticker mount" in trade for the filled up one. :)
If you get it a little GOOF OFF will make the stickers all come right off of there I betcha.

That looks like a GREAT opportunity to score a good guitar for a GREAT price. I have no sympathy for the idiot that would be fleeced. |

Just think how upset people would be if a little puppy was treated like that. |

I think it's your destiny to save this poor guitar.
