And since we’re partial to guitars and guitar players, here’s what you need to dress up as your favorite Gibson guitar hero.

If you’ve got a better idea for a guitar hero costume, tell us … post it in the comment section below. If we think it’s cool then we’ll try it ourselves, take some pictures and post them on – you guessed it – Halloween night. Good luck … and try not to scare yourselves too bad!
