Did you actually read the auction description?

 

Yeah. They're vinyl "stickers."

 

Why would you think they'd affect tone?

 

In theory, you'd think they'd peel off, but vinyl is different than adhesive-based products. Same kind of science as window clings you can get or even window tinting film to some degree. According to the description, "[...] our materials are 5-7 YEARS outdoor durability high performance vinyl films in variety of colors. They can withstand years of playing without any sign of wear or tear even when doing intense bends and pull-offs, all tested way before going on."

 

Kind of a gimmick, but to each his own.
