What are your opinions on racing stripes on basses and guitars? I like them. One of my guitars has one. It's the Tom DeLonge Epiphone ES-333.  
Edit -
So I can't get photos up on mobile. Here's a link. http://m.flickr.com/photos/63676571@...2658/lightbox/

I do like skunk stripes on neckthru bass' though.

It's a great guitar.
I'm thinking about putting one like the Mustangs have on my old Squier strat after I put a new pickup and pickguard.
