who designs ugly guitars?

[JDC]

How does a big brand design something and release a production model when it's this ugly?!!!

Surely someone in the company would go "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!! THAT'S FREAKING HORRIBLE!!!"

It's very you! ;)

I'm not surprised.
Have you ever looked at the ESP signature models for Japanese artists? NASTY.

ESP runs a guitar building academy and every month in Young Guitar magazine they show a picture of someones creation. That's some of the most horriblist shite you could ever imagine :lol:

I think it's alright if it didn't have those steps in the body? The line through the knob and the switch is pretty cool imo. I've seen a lot worse.

The work that's gone into these is phenomenal, I'm just not sure the designers know much about taste :?

Think is a les paul shape on there that reminds me very much of the tigers eye feline lion

I like this though... when i say 'like' i mean I think its retarded.

I guess that's what they call "steampunk"?

I actually like all those J-Rock signature models.  But I don't see them as guitars, really, more as works of art to be hung on a wall.
