Fugly Ass Guitar Thread

Haunty · Post by **Haunty** » 10 Aug 2010, 00:58

I don't know what they're doing these days, but there seems to be a large number of fugly guitars going around. Post pictures of them here, so we can all laugh derisively at them.

Let's start out with, oh...everything made by Ikon guitars.

Next, these guitars from DBZ, an offshoot of Dean

Minarik guitars made these mistakes:

Whatever the fuck this is:

telecasters

Fuck you Zim, I was just about to post a picture of one of those

vO)))id · Post by **vO)))id** » 10 Aug 2010, 03:27

those are all fucking ugly indeed

that last one is the BC Rich "Draco"... I've always tried just to ignore that hidious thing in their catalog.

I used to think telecasters are very ugly, but somehow I got used to the shape and they look pretty good imo.

the fender ones play great and sound great. although I still don't like their gay shaped headstock

its a personal taste obviously, I have owned the first two shapes in that list. But I like less flashy shapes now.

Devy · Post by **Devy** » 10 Aug 2010, 03:42

I've never been a fan of the SG shape, it looks like a Fisher Price toy.

i'd hang those up on the wall if i owned them - they could be cooler if the shapes were more interesting

I agree with Zim on the Warlock and Jackson.

What the fuck where they thinking?

Self-explanatory.

Please welcome the winner, the Masaki Kyomoto Custom Samurai Special guitar by ESP

See that purple protrusion on the top left? Yeah, that's the handle of a sword.

when the creator of that was finished i seriously hope he was screaming "IT'S ALIVE!"

i agree wth all Haf said.

I like Teles, but as said, their head is gay

shadowalk · Post by **shadowalk** » 10 Aug 2010, 23:11

Those Dimebag-shaped (basically the Dean XL shape itself and Dime's) guitars. I love Dimebag and Pantera as much as the next hard-on bearer but goddamn Dimebag's guitars somehow look very unpleasant to my eyes. And yes, I'd rather take a B.C. Rich Beast over a Dimebag guitar.

The reigning champion of pure

guitars for me is still this one though.

Mayhaps Gibson tried to jump on the spoof/pun/parody bandwagon on this one and utterly failed.

xpocalypse · Post by **xpocalypse** » 10 Aug 2010, 23:35

that black Les Paul-like LTD looks badass and if I could afford it I'd buy it right away

but this one is really "pretty"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHB1T_YK ... re=related

and some more

and this one I find interesting

you really want more?

shadowalk · Post by **shadowalk** » 10 Aug 2010, 23:47

I just remembered this.

Apparently, someone made this for Mr. Hammett for him to use on the Death Magnetic tour like two years ago. And from what I heard, it wasn't ESP who made this...thing.

This thing is so fucked up, it's awesome.

this is the ugliest fucking guitar i've ever seen, i fucking hate it.

one of my guitarists used it at a show and i kept talking shit about it while on stage.

The Fireman wins because of it's creator. He could play a Bo Diddly guitar and I'd want one.

As a member of Metallica, Mr. Hammett may have a lot of awesome looking guitars but goddamn he really does have his share of ugly ones.

Yep. most horrible thing in this thread!

Thatr wierd shape gold one was made in Ireland by emerald. It's carbon fibre OMG

I can't understand how Ibanez let him have that done.

Love of Lava · Post by **Love of Lava** » 25 Aug 2010, 20:21

maybe because he's one of the most important kinda promoter for ibanez.. beside this ugly mistakes he developed together with them these awesome universes and some other neat devices !

Fugliest theme: "carrot"

serious question: did the hard-on bearer from vadim von design these? i'm pretty sure there is a dude named ikon in that band. these are definiely hideous enough to fit their whole, 15-year-old-metalhead-just-discovered-photoshop-version-3 aesthetic. plus i think they use that same font somewhere, too.

I've always wondered if there was a connection like this... Esp. because of the Trey UV they did.
