We all know Rickenbackers are the most beauteous guitars around, right?
I don't want to post this in "Others", as it's a good counterpoint to the "Ugly" thread in this topic section.
This is Sheena's idea.
So, here's the deal:
We're looking for NON-RICK beauties, as everyday more and more Rick beauties show up here in photo form.
Here's my own first nomination. I was knocked out when I first saw it. It's Jeff's Fenderbird tribute to John Entwhistle:

`That is a knockout, and I bet it plays like a dream. I have a few contributions on my hard drive, I just have to wait until the kids give me time to resize the pics!

A LOVELY one, Paul!
My $.02: subjective i know, maybe not the best-looking ever, but to me, it was a "love at first sight", with no RIC in sight... (and, to tell you the truth, when i - finally! - brought the baby home, my daughter said she's gonna take him to bed with her, instead of a teddy bear...)
Picture from the Web, but mine looks exactly the same!
Best looking non-RIC to me at the moment, and MINE, MINE, MINE!!!!

My favorite guitar to play after my 370 is my friend Luc's '95 Page Series Les Paul. Not only does it play wonderfully it's a looker!
Not like most of the Jimmy Page Signature Series run this one has less harsh looking flamed maple.
Anyways here's me playing it in April of 2004 while my friend (not pictured) is testing out my 370 at our small jam together.

That LP is gorgeous.
The Superstrat looks like a Chinese-made Pearl River gitar that I scored on eBay for my daughter for $38 last year...
LPs and Strats...nice, but let's show some imagination and hide the bellybuttons for awhile.

I've always liked early-style Tele Customs -- sunburst, rosewood board, binding. Classy.

Unique and quite lovely to behold. I suppose it plays as well as it looks!
VERY imaginative.

Unfortunately , mine doesn't look quite as incredible as this one. I have a standard 4 string version with a Red Cedar top, but it is an incredible instrument to play.
