Post your link/pic for the worst looking guitar or a finishing job gone wrong... :?
Here's my entry: "THE SNOT SG"

Like the vibe, hate the finish ! :P

that 13 string super bass would win hands down

+100.

That thing is ugly, BUT I don't think that qualifies as a "guitar"...
Does it? :?
-
Nope.
But if you sharpened it a bit it could still be an "Axe".

I don't want to lower the tone, but it looks like a load of rolled-up condoms floating in a swimming pool...
Other than that, nice guitar.
I'll nominate that Dean Zakk Wylde "Muddy Bullseye" (http://www.deanguitars.com/zakk_wylde.htm). I'm sure there are uglier guitars out there, but it's the unholy offspring of a V and an SG - the whole concept is just WRONG.
[thinks: maybe I should stop keeping my Vs and SGs next to each other, in case they breed... :? ]

Talking of Deans...

Awful.
-
in the interests of fairness i will post one of my uglier ones.
It was designed by my girlfriend based on one of those basses with f-holes cut all the way through the body (ampeg i think).
I think it might work better as a long scale instrument but the short scale neck amkes this look a bit club like - and the painted f-holes dont look great close up.

Ooo, new entry guys, this may be at number 1 for a while:

certainly bad - but to me thats more novelty than actual bad design!
-
Good point, maybe we should set a rule: Only instruments that have required an amount of skill to build can be entered into the contest.
That MTV "guitar" looks like it was a 12 year-old's woodwork project or something.
Might I also suggest the Ultrazone guitar as used by Vai?
In fact, for a whole bunch of nasty looking guitars: http://www.vai.com/Machines/guitars2.html
Trust Vai to have a full host of godawful paint-jobs and silly shapes at his disposal. Most notably the Ultrazone, Despagni Zng Zng, Heart and Flame Guitars. :lol:
I'm sure they sound nice, but they burn my eyes to look at.
-
The winner of course has to be Dean, i've only seen one of their guitars that looked alright, and that's only because it was a superstrat-ish shape. Hideous guitars, with paintjobs of equal hideousness!
I kinda like that SG posted above though! :oops:

NOOOO, I like that Gibson Corvus! The colour is especially cool.
I'd buy one in a second if I could find one really dirt cheap, but they're always a bit overpriced.

"impressionist lilies" was certainly not what the first thing that occurred to me...
Monet must be turning in his grave.
-
Is it just me or does the the gap between the bridge and the start of the neck look to big on that Him monstrosity? And I am assuming the kid doesn't play anything past the 12th fret...
-

Well spotted! Yeah, there's room for about 6 humbuckers...
I don't see how it can possibly be playable. :?

Aye I noticed the kid said it plays really well.... must be new to playing I guess.
Dunno about 6 buckers, but I've seen 4 on one axe, hehe. Nigel Tufnel's 4 bucker Ernie Ball. Saw it at the London Guitar show this year, it's an amazing axe, hehe! I don't think it qualifies as an Ugly guitar though, it's just very OTT, hehe.
