Most ridiculous guitar(s) you cant stand that everyone else seems to love?

[Busk]

Cabronitas. Why is this guitar all the rage? I mean, i got nothing against that style of git or teles, but aren't there some $1500+ models out there? WTF? The cost on one of these things has to be like $7. "yeah, we put a humbucker with an ornate metal cover in it, we charge all this friggin' money for it. Sometimes, we scratch it up a little, and charge even more." And they're usually solid colors so you probably got some 34 piece bodies going on too. I am betting I couldn't tell the difference between a Squire version and the expensive ones both played through a decent amp seeing as the concept is trying to imitate a cheap guitar in the first place.

 

Here's a >$5000 version. I put 125 in my shopping cart.

Sorry to vent...

[almightycrunch]

V's. Had one and it was totally pointless.

 

 

nope, three points dude, three points.

That Gretsch Bo Diddly guitar. It just does not look good.

I dislike Strats immensely. Teles and LPs, kinda meh.

You sir, are a man of refined taste & style - just like me

[myhero34]

I don't really dig the look of sgs, but for some reason I love the sg faded.
Also I can't stand the evh shape

[w00dsy]

pretty much anything that says Dimebag, great player, awful guitars by Dean.

 

[scolfax]

^^^ Agreed.

 

Danelectros, especially the ones with wooden bridges.

[Pine Apple Slim]

Anything with a Floyd on it.

I love just about any Gibson or Fender type.

Do you mean awful-looking guitars? Or just awful guitars full stop?

I actually really like the Epi Korina Flying V for that reason. Two of my 3 Vs are Epi Korina Vs, one with HBs and one with P-90s. The build of the body wood give them more depth than the Gibson Vs I've owned. I sent one Gibson Faded V back (even though the price was excellent, i.e. under $480) - just couldn't bond with its tone; and I kept one anniversary edition Gibson V with a '57/'57+ combo. Although the tone is more complex on that Gibson, I still gravitate towards the sound of the Epi Korina Vs since they are more of a natural for a bluesy tone. The typical Epi HB tone actually adds a bit more body to the tone compensating for the inherent lack of body in the design of a V.

I just don't care them for my lazy-boy chair performances.

Rickenbackers

Some BC Rich designs look awful. I respect that they're trying something different though. In fact I've always liked Mockingbirds

Why? Sound or shape?

[PurpleTrails]

SGs. Though I like the way they look, I just don't get along with the neck, balance and to some degree, tone. When I pick one up it just feels wrong. I like LPs, but just don't like SGs.

awful looking, i'm sure they play ok.

[lz4005]

Rics, SGs, 8 strings.

[3volved]

I've played a lot of different body shapes but the only guitars I really feel comfortable with are singlecuts, screw everything else.

[grungehack]

I think Mustangs are pretty ugly

Also, those mutant starfish SX/GFS guitars.

[IbanezJon]

All of them except strats and superstrats.. and shredder strats.. there is a certain theme here.

I do like LP shape to look at, not so much to play.. the tones are good tho.. I'd like a blue one at some point.

The main ones I dislike are BC Warlocks, or V's or other silly shapes.. explorers are pretty cool though.

ok, it's just that i've heard some really bad things about deans. i can't remember why. here in the uk you pretty much never see deans, ever. so i can't speak from personal deansperience

[Elessar [Sly]]

BCR guitars.


Oh I really dislike flying V's... instant facepalm.

No, actually Deans are dog{censored} on every possible level.

[w00dsy]

well i've only seen them on shop walls and i've never once been inclined to pick one up and try it. Not even out of curiosity.

[omni]

Whatever that nirvana dork played. Man those things should all be gathered up and burned.
