God knows, as much as I love Dean for the classic USA line, I hate them just as much for that piece of cr@p.

In fairness i think they discontinued it shortly after they sobered up.

If we're counting bass guitars in this, I absolutely cannot stand the paul mccartney-esque violin bass. $%&#ing hideous!

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:


I don't mind that one at all, and I absolute love Jonathan's 7-string take on it:



That wood is gorgeous.

Anyway, this is about least favourites, so here's mine:



Horrible looking thing.

Good call. Everytime I see those indie/surf/grunge jaguar, jazzmaster, tornado guitars I'm reminded how awful they are. But it isn't just the shape, it's the trem, the pickguard, the choices of colour, the type and position of knobs and switches. It's just alround a really bad design. It's the guitar equivalent of this:

I've never wanted to own one - I don't think I'd get on with the "quirky" hardware and switching - but I think they look great.

I love the jazzmaster, jaguar and mustang. Though the jazz has a full sized 25.5" scale neck.
