50 UGLIEST GUITARS OF THE YEAR

Post by jingle_jangle »

Maybe some of you have already seen this, but for the rest:

These are great for a chuckle!

And to top off the year's festivities, I saw another mvpgretsch creation on the 'Bay. Not a new one; apparently he's dissolving his "collection" to finance that '55 Cadillac restoration.

I wonder if it'll get a Cadillac tailpiece?

Now, I won't name names...but not every one of those offended me...

But the ones that did more than made up for the judgmental lapse. 8)

No. 20 is too far down the list IMO. Bleagh!! Should be No 1, with No 8 right behind it. Good grief!! :shock:

I'd vote for # 49 and # 22 as the ugliest.

Whoever created No. 20 should be put in jail. That one's a crime.

When I follow the link to the page, it says that it shows Ugliest Guitars 50-30. But the page only shows numbers 50-40, and there isn't a link to the rest of them. What am I missing?

Chris, halfway down the page on the right - before the comments section there is a link.

What's wrong with 46? That design's been around for years. Shouldn't be on the list.

Here's #51, although it's from 1965:

Does the word "proportion" mean anything to some folks?

And, someone please tell "Olivia" that "rare" does not necessarily equate with "valuable".
