The worst looking signature guitar ever?

My vote - the Dean "Tommy Bolin Teaser"... why?

Re: The worst looking signature guitar ever?

Agree - awful sig guitar..... but awesome guitarist!!
Positives : 1 x guitar, 1 x amp, 1 x tuner, 1 x lead, 5 x picks, lots of determination
Negatives : 0 x natural talent, minimal learned ability.
Probably.....the worst guitarist in the world

Jesus Christ..who could possibly play that thing on stage? If I'd ever come across one that is an OUTSTANDING guitar, I'd make sure to spray paint it black ASAP

Re: The worst looking signature guitar ever?

Well, a posthumous signature guitar is more a tribute than it is a signature, so I guess whoever designed this wanted Bolin to be memorialized in this way. I personally think the guitar looks pretty nice. I like the Teaser inlay, the lack of pickguard, and the graphics. If I were a Bolin fan and a Strat player, I would want one.

Is it considered douchebaggery to play your own sig model with your own picture on it?

Being as Bolin died in '76, I don't think there's much of a chance of Tommy being seen on stage with it.

Was the Wilkenson bridge even invented in 1976? methinks not..

Re: The worst looking signature guitar ever?

I wanted to do "The wurst looking signature guitar ever?". But while you'd think someone had made a sausage shaped guitar somewhere, no luck on google images.
