Does anyone remember those dreadful things that were on display next to Felines Stand at the 2007 LGS? I wish I could remember the name, they were so bad. Red Plasticy dragons and castles. I mean did the bloke behind those designs actually expect they would sell? Talk about out of touch!  :x
ummm, perhaps my memory is at fault, but wasn't the PRS stand next to Feline at LGS 07? :)

Joking aside, did you mean those really weird flying-V derived things with arched tops & F-holes?  I can't remember the name either but didn't see anyone paying any attention to them all day - I was haf tempted to go over there & ask to try one out of sympathy.... :)

Lol, you've all reminded me that there have been some truly, truly, almost unbelievably aesthetically monstrous guitars made. The Corvus, Moderne and the two Minarik guitars are an absolute hoot !
 And, sorry Wes, really don't like that guitar (although I wouldn't class it as monstrous).

  There seems to be an almost universal loathing of most of the pointy metal things (who does actually buy these ? - I never see them except on shop walls, although I don't get out much unless I'm playing myself).

no need to be sorry at all, i thought a lot more people would hate it than actually do

just you wait till i get my corvus re-design sorted!!  Thats sure to divide the crowd - or maybe not, maybe everyone will hate it

:lol:


They were I presume they were aimed at young metal heads but missed the target completely. They had all these castles, dragons carved or molded into the body shapes. No one was playing them. Because I spent most of my day either on the Bkp or Feline stand I noticed that no one was stopping to have a go on them.
I wonder if Afghan or Feline can remember who they were. Its worth a google search for them if we can remember the name. I don't think I've ever seen anything so foul in a guitar before!

OK question:
If Dean style 'have someone’s eye out' metal guitars are so hated (to which I concur) why is my local guitar store FULL OF THE BUGGERS!

P.S
I must admit that I don’t like the SG shape, although I love the feel of playing my SG (but while I am playing I can't see the shape so it doesn’t bother me).

Surely you've answered your own question here: the shop is still full of them because nobody wants them... :)

The is probably the least attractive guitar ive ever seen!

Agreed.  That is truly bizarre !!

That's the first guitar which has actually made me laugh out loud when I first saw the picture !

I remember those, didn't realise they were so cheapo!

I wonder what Roo would make of that.... talk about "bulbous bits"....  :?

It kind of looks like the "elephant man" of the guitar world - the headstock is all swollen and deformed, and as for that lower horn - LOL!  The only thing that could make that guitar worse would be to tele-ify the top horn (which would then match the dubious sexuality of the lower horn) and add the foul tele bridge and control plate. Then, truly, the most hideous guitar in the world would have been created.
I love the title of that ebay sale: "MUST SEE"   !!!!! Now my eyes burrrrnnn and I can't see!!!
