Least favourite guitar shape
« on: March 22, 2009, 04:38:40 PM »
In a similar vein to Antag's new thread, let us all know the guitar shapes that you truly hate !

Mine in the strat. I just detest them. Can't imagine why anyone should want to play one.

the crow/can opener shaped gibson corvus is one that usually comes up... although i actually think its got real potential and have been doing some drawings based on it  (as have a few others over at projectguitar.com)



my least favorite is the dean razorback or that one that combines a V with an SG... is it the splittail or something like that??

i dislike non-cbs strat headstocks. i used to dislike the strat look in general, but i've grown to appreciate it.

still don't really like the tele-look, though the great sound makes up for it. not sure i have a least favourite shape as such. some ultra-pointy metal guitar shapes go a bit too far.

corvus is beautiful, i wonder what will come of wez's sketches.. its alot better as a headless

Teles, just really not that keen on them.
I think the splittail has got potential, maybe HSS with a Floyd, white with black binding. but I really don't like where they put the input jack on them

I can't stand V's. 

I also detest "pointy" headstocks, hated them when they came out in the 1980s and still hate them now...

Pretty cool with everything else though.

It's Metal shapes all the way for me, I'm afraid:




And I saw these for the first time today.  The Peavey Tragic and Void.  Never were two guitars more aptly named:

OK, I'm going to limit myself to guitars I've actually owned or played (you'll get no argument from me about the utter vileness of the BC Rich Beast, Dean Razorback or that ridiculous Zakk Wylde abortion Gibson recently dreamt up... :roll:)

So I'll say Jackson Warrior.  It pains me to say anything bad about anything with Jackson on the headstock, but the Warrior is just flat out hideous:
