The hideous gear you think looks good

[Crunch]

I have a terrible soft spot for European and Japanese guitars of the 60s, especially beat-boom era ones so any of these rock my world.

Dear Azagthoth, those are beautiful (in the worst way).

I think for this one it should read "Good Gear That Looks Hideous"



I'm a big admirer of Mansons and Matt Bellamy but have never been able to take to the carbuncular growth on the top of his guitars. It should be named the Quasimodo model with that grotesque hump on it.

I think what we see when we look at Matt Bellamy's guitars is what Roo sees when he looks at a Tele. 

It's like anorexics who look in the mirror and think they're fat.

I've got a soft spot for the Ovation Breadwinner. My friends would hate it though as they do my Parker Fly.

Oh yeah, I love those!  I think they look great!  :D

Ovation electrics were pretty cool, actually.  I quite like the Preacher and Viper too.

Somehow I doubt that certain members will appreciate my burnt/rusted relic Teles : :lol:

Oh yes, some do! I cherish them though  :)

I present to you the Red Fang "Jazzfang?".
I like it, and I doubt you will.

I also really dig the Doodoo Swamp finish of the AXL Badwater 1216.

I actually kind of like both. Sorry :mrgreen:

I do love a Parker...

I must admit, I don't think they're hideous, but Parkers don't float my boat.  I like the fact they're so incredibly light, though.

The fretboard and bridge is what sells them, for me- and, there's something nice (in a hipster sort of way) about playing a guitar no one else does.

I just had to have a Parker Fly because it's such an amazing piece of design and I think it looks great (though I'm not so sure about the sounds, another subject). Guitarists are strangely conservative about axes, they'll appreciate modernism elsewhere, but the guitars have to be pre-seventies.

Pre-Sixties, ideally.
