I had to go with the dean.

Although the others are ugly, the dean is just plain stupid.

At least the others are trying (although failing) to come up with new designs and ideas.

Just makes me chuckle every time I look at it.  The body is huge. I just can't actually imagine what someone would look like playing the thing !

i think its a good idea... try playing self indulgent fancy stuff high up the neck and the guitar stabs you - its a great leveller for us bad guitarists

I still can't decide. For once I feel sorry for the trees that were cut down to make these pieces of shitee.

You should have had the last option of the poll as 'All of the above'
"Would you like some lemon oil?"
"Oh, no thanks, I don't eat fruit."

Had to be the Spaceranger.

Had to be.

It's horrible.  Really, really horrible.  It looks like it has a disease - that big bulbous pustule at the bottom...

I guess that's how Roo feels about Telecasters.  But I don't think that you can really compare the two...

I went for the tele because it was really the only viable option for me, but I have to say there are some truly awful guitars in that list! Really, truly, brutally ugly!!!

There haven't been too many people who (admit they) don't like my guitar, but at the very least you can look at it and see that it won't be awful to play. Hell, I'll even admit that of the telecaster... But I look at some of those Minarik contraptions, and I can feel the pain!

Very close call between many of those guitars, I must admit!

I hate teles as much as the next man (well, maybe not roo), but I cant see how 4 people (so far) have chosen them over the myriad abominations and asthetic stillborns in that list.

It baffles me. In this company, its practically the Anne Hathaway of guitars (the one thats alive and hot as all hell now, not shakesperes wife).
