Members Dougie.Douglas Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 I always used to HATE the Goldtop Les Pauls... but since i'v been on HC, they seem to be growing on me I really like Goldtops with P-90s. A finish I can't stand though is the silverburst... Urgh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members etawful Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 The majority of finishes with graphics. . . especially the Dean Dime models. Most graphics are just crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members clay sails Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 I used to revile sparkle finishes, too, until I looked closely at my beloved PRS SE and realized that it had a metallic sparkle finish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elias Graves Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 I've never seen a sparkle finished guitar that I would want to own. It's a total turn off to have a guitar that literally looks like it's been dipped in glue and rolled around in glitter. Every thread you have going is troll bait. Please stop.

Members Muddslide Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 I don't care much for highly-figured wood. Flame, quilt, burled, claw, meh. When it comes to Les Pauls, I like plaintops all the way as far as any kind of burst goes where youcan see the wood grain. I also think gold hardware looks like gaudy crap on 99% of guitars.

Members aenemated Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 Fastest way to ruin the looks of one of the most beautiful guitars ever made, is to take a Les Paul and paint a gold top on it. Heinous looking. you're a goddamn crazy person, dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members igge Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 Any finish that has skulls, bones, pastel colours, aliens, Zakk Wylde, duct tape, rusty metal involved in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elazul Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 Those hideous pastel colours that everyone seems to love on Strats. I mean seriously, WHY do people think they look good? Also, plain black guitars. BOOOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIING!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluffalo Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 Goldtop - tacky........... i quite like silverburst however.graphics with girls/lightning/flames/skulls/etcfender sunburst/tobacco burst - boring.relics"punk" kids that put 20 stickers on their guitar with half of them peeling offoh and faded creamy white.... which seems to be mostly fenders.

Members Muddslide Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 You know, the more I think about it, the more I realize I just kind of gravitate towards plainer instruments for the most part. It seems like I've gotten tired of all the metallic-painted and flashy guitars I've had over the years in favor of more laid-back looks. Now, my #1 guitar at this time happens to be fire-engine red and has some gaudy cosmetic stuff, but looking back I have tended to bond more with less flashy guitars. I really, really like a lot of Fender metallic finishes and think they look hot much of the time--various golds, candy apple red, lake placid blue, sherwood green, etc. But it seems like I just don't really want to own one myself. When it comes down to it, the guitars that appeal to me most are classic bursts (subtle), natural wood and good old black and white. I really dig creamy, off-white guitars, like my Tele. On the other hand, I sometimes see some really pimpish glitter jobs--like some of the more way-out rockabilly machines or some of the more outlandish old 60s import guitars like Ekos and Goyas--that are so over-the-top they are just inherently cool.

Members strtdv Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 Goldtops, clownburst les pauls, sparkle flake finishes (although metallics are nice). I also hate veneer flametops.If you put a solid flametop on a guitar, that's fine, the guitar needs a maple top and it might as well be pretty when you do it.Veneer flametops OTOH add nothing to the tone and are just there for show. Why not just leave the guitar as a plaintop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members strtdv Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 Because mahogany is ugly:thu: Nothing wrong with the look of mahogany. It's not the maple tops I dislike, it's when people have a plain maple top on a guitar which is perfectly nice to look at, but they then put a very thin flamed/quilted maple veneer over the top of the plain maple purely for looks. That bugs me. It hasn't improved the quality or the tone of the instrument at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bsman Posted January 22, 2010 Members Share Posted January 22, 2010 I have grown to dislike black guitars. No matter how careful you are, they always look grungy, unless you constantly wipe them down. Big PITA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
