Post fuckable/ugly stuff here.

Gretsch TK300: contours only a mother could love

Ampeg Heavy Stud: a real WTF headstock

Surf Green Fender SuperSonic: should be called Sea Sick Green

Peavey Mantis

Peavey Razer - really in a league of it's own. I want one!

Peavey Mystic

Maybe you'd want a Hondo or Westone?

Sort of reminds me of Texas

Isabellacat · July 07, 2011, 04:29:12 AM

Global guitars....I always see these for like $40-$50....

The Shocker · July 07, 2011, 07:47:45 AM

I still think it's beautiful.

I also like that Gretsch pictured above.

Ha!

I guess I was unclear. I really lust after everything (I posted), and would fuck the shit out of it. I just might not be taking it to prom is all.

I got Kramer DMZ 2000. As an instrument it feels real weird and is strange to play so I love it but I also think it's fuckin' ugly. I get more compliments on it than my legitimately beautiful guitars though because it's distinctive.

I just wish I could see the side dots on a dark stage. $:-\$

I gave nonoman ~~a Peavey Butcher~~ head for a Kramer lumie. It needs a refret, but I love it so much...

LogicalFrank · July 07, 2011, 11:50:49 AM

Do they all have really wide fretboards? I have come to rather like it. Takes a bit for the fretting hand to get used to the shape but it's much easier to pick quickly and accurately w/o hitting extra strings, &c.

VOLVO))) · July 07, 2011, 12:03:30 PM

Mine is a bass, and it's got a thick neck, and a narrow FB. All of the guitars I've played have had wide boards, though. They're fucking NICE. I love them. If you end up not wanting that, we should work out a deal...

I am going to hang onto it for a while but I'll let you know if I get rid of it. It is a unique guitar if nothing else. I love how it sounds. My only problem, as I mentioned, is I can't see the side dots which is funny because the guitar I traded for it, 1980 Ibanez Studio, was another guitar I really like to play and loved the sound of but got rid of because I couldn't see the side dots on stage.

Send it to me, and I'll inlay lines. It has the phenolic "Ebanol" fretboard, ay?

justinhedrick · July 07, 2011, 12:52:00 PM

frank, sell it to me, an illinoisian before you sell it to that gator bater.

damn sunn, i can't see what you posted (i'm at work and they block vids and what-not).

VOLVO))) · July 07, 2011, 01:18:52 PM

We'll say the man in question was a Cajun, and his daddy used to use him as alligator bait.

So far I'm digging every one of them. I would love to have that Ampeg guitar!

i think any sort of fender derivative with a 3 on a side headstock is just wrong.

LogicalFrank · July 07, 2011, 04:28:34 PM

Man, those fuck ugly Peavey guitars are pretty cheap. I want one.

Chovie D · July 07, 2011, 05:06:00 PM

my bass player started on the Ampeg Big Stud Bass. It wasnt too bad.

ugliest guitars to me are those ibanez Gems or whatever with the handle cut into em, all neon, steve vai shits.
anything tuck and roll is usually pretty ugly but in a good way.

ugliest logo? hands down no contest..Peavey

I'm with Spook, I especially dug the Globals. Thank god shops like Eastwood and DiPinto are still making interesting looking instruments.
