I have to go with the Gibson Zoot Suit SG - basically a way of getting a lot of money for a plywood guitar.  They came in several finishes, but this has to be the worst:

How 'bout the one that looks like a melted monster from a cr@ppy horror film...that apparently contains a sword (the blue bit is the handle)?


I'm reluctant to say this is a bad guitar, considering the fact that the sword handle is part of a REAL SWORD. But the Japanese are quooky that way.

I'm sure the plywood would have been carefully and skilfully selected!

Yes, they do at Gibson. It's from the best Brazilian plywoodtrees they could find in the Amazon-forest.  :lol:

these still bother me, they could have made them so much better.. the explorer 2 looks very cool i think, not the v 2 though:



they play well though, and the boomerang pickups sound good and bright (a bit like minihumuckers). though they could do with a bit more pixie dust tonewise its generally in my preferred direction.

It made you think of a guitar?

It makes me think of the designer jumping (or being thrown) off a cliff.

looks like a cheap imitation of one of these



(my local chicago rock used to have one screwed to the wall, straight through the body, i offered to buy it off them and supply them with something more suitable for screwing to a wall - they declined, its long gone now though)
