Basically, these skins are just stickers made of vinyl that fit onto the guitar, and have cut outs so you can still use the buttons and things as needed. The majority of them only fit the standard Wii guitar that shipped with the original Guitar Hero; however other designs are coming out weekly.
You can also get a new strap for your guitar. Any strap will do, even those made for real guitars! However, you’ll find some have been made especially for the Wii guitar, with famous logos like the one for Kiss; or emblems like hearts or flames. Whatever suits your style is fine.

Several types of camping tents have guaranteed quality. It usually intended only for the professional users. The price offered was very expensive and luxurious. It is just attractive for people who have money and obsess with camping activities – or for people who are about to go on some serious expedition to mount Everest.
However, are these tents only for those who have money?
Then, where is the fun and joy of camping activities if measured only by money?
We should put something on the proportions. The camping activity is not about price problems, but it is about whether we enjoy it or not. Tents and camping equipment that designed for the professional are expensive and it is normal because there are so much equipment and facilities included in it.
We should not value these camping activities by the prices. As long as we can enjoy this activity, we can get something valuable. The valuable experience such as: the joy when setting up camp, working with our friends, unity, the fun while sharing the joy, etc. Money, expensive and luxurious tent cannot be measure these experiences.
Therefore, lets enjoy the camping cheerfully. Lets forget the debate whether these camping activities expensive or cheap. The good or expensive tent or equipment that we have is not determining the interesting camping activities. Interesting camping activities is the activities that give us satisfied and full of joy with the people who we love.
