It is awesome! I wouldn't care how it played or sounded - if I owned one, it would be my #1 gigging guitar!

that sword is absolutely fantastic!  totally OTT, ridiculous, absurd, but so much so that it comes out the other side into totally cool! :)

i've always loved Les Pauls and Explorers myself, but i like many shapes.  even some of the ones that seem unpopular here, like the BC Rich Beast, i like.  that's not to say i want one though!  ultimately though, my favourite is the same one it's been for the last 18 years;  the Gibson MIII

Hmmm, it's..... interesting.   :|

I find it hard to imagine anyone actually playing one, unless they're good mates with Joey DeMaio.

There's obviously a lot of work gone into it, but looking at the pics it's a shame the back of the guitar is just boring silver.

thats easy

Superstrats.

+1

but i'd have to agree with andy's original post, i like almost everything. but if i *had* to choose.

by the way, is it only on looks, or does comfort come into it too? because king vs are awesome, but you can't sit down with them... :lol:

Les Pauls

Just perfection.

If i had to pick on in particular though. It would be the Feline Emerald, just, drool.

Stratocaster, Telecaster, Semis (335's, 336's and 339's) and Les Pauls. I have even started to like SG's though for years I wasn't keen.

Not quite sure you got the idea of the thread Mr 38th. "favourite guitar shape" .... singular, not plural  !!   :lol:

I was thinking looks personally, but I don't see why comfort shouldn't come into it :D

In which case - I'm definite, a strat, never played a more comfortable body than that...

Les Paul for aesthetics, LPDCs or subtle, meaning not overly pointy, neck-through superstrats for comfort.
Crawlers, Mule-7s

Les Paul. I just like it. Although I can't wait to have a go on a Feline AANJ with a big neck, but thats still a LP shape.
