... and for all you 'Castor fans ... it had to happen
It might not the ugliest (well maybe it is) but certainly the silliest! :D ... makes the kind of statement I don't even want to hear! 8O

Ugly Bass, a grown man playing in a nappy and Bootsy... hard to call this one.
Yep. Not one of Bootsy's better efforts..... more effects than most Guitar players own!
This is kind of clever, but hideous:

Hows this for ugly....
Theres ugly, and then theres really ugly!!! 8O
And this guy actually hand carved it...what a craftsman...what taste!!

... Geez! that almost looks like a "granite" kitchen formica pckguard! ... ugghh! 8O
Anyway, not to be out-done by Gibson's strategy of "Reverse Everything" when it comes to guitar models, looks like we finally get an arse-about Strat too! ... just the thing for working on those reverse arpeggios! :D

THIS 8O 8O 8O 8O
dunno if its to stop my boat from moving over night , or if i should bait it n catch a shark , or if i should just leave it near the closest bat mobile and back away slowly :?

that guitar seems a bit of a mindcrime now, could build an Empire with that.
Ah the early nineties gotta love it.
mmm empire , it could be a Sith weapon maybe ? ....... i dont think you learn songs with it , its more you assimilate them
Here's a couple of real "pearlers" that could only come from the mind of one the oddest (if not funniest) guitarists in the history of rock ... Nigel Tufnell (Spinal Tap) - fictional character turned real muso! ... and first (?) man to take his amp to 11! :D

I am a little loathe to call this "ugly", as it's obviously the work of a well-meaning kiddie....
http://www.pitbullguitars.com/wp-con...a12r-image.jpg
El thats impressive build for a kid, looks like they even strung it up with heavy to light gauge strings correctly. Not sure how much sound you would get out of it with a pickup cover and cardboard box amp ? Got to love the 2 screw 'bolt on' neck !
Will have to check with DB whether kids have to go to the naughty room for using solid paints !
I love the custom cardboard amp, I wonder if he uses toilet paper rolls for tubes. Lol.
My cousin & I used to make "guitars" like that. I long piece of wood for the neck, body and headstock cut from a cardboard box (later upgraded to masonite). Then we would mime to whatever music was our favourite of the time. I also made cardboard microphones out of toilet rolls and old pairs of my mum's pantyhose.
My offering to this page of beauties... Not sure it really counts, but...
Was thinking of sanding it back and restaining with Wudtone, but didn't think it would bind to the plastic... BTW it does have 6 real strings and a dead flat neck :).

HOLLY .... . .
The pun is nearly as bad . . .
Looks like something out of a '70's Gary Glitter "glam-rock" christmas special? :D
(excellent pun, Maxaxe! :D)
All this talk of glam-rock reminded me of this little beauty. As played by Dave Hill of Slade.
http://www.pitbullguitars.com/wp-con...6is6-image.jpg
Bassguy - I'm still trying to figure out what (shape) that Slade guitar is! :D
... and of course no "glam-rock" guitar collection would be truly complete without "Bjorn's baby" (yes THAT Bjorn - one of the "B"s in ABBA 8O ) ... maybe the ultimate "glam" guitar?
... probably completely unplayable unless you're wearing silver, 4-inch platform boots! :D

Funny story: I knew a guy who bought this exact guitar (it cost a ridiculous amount of money). He thought it was the most amazing thing. No one else did. The bass player and drummer of his band refused to play whenever he got it out.

... but at least it goes well with the Batman "sunnies"! :D
Here's one courtesy of Sydney Guitar Set-Ups (absolutely top notch guitar techs - fully recommended for guitar work as well as some of the rare and hard-to-find parts)
the Dr Death axe 8O ... which it certainly would be if you happened to accidently fall on it! :D
http://www.pitbullguitars.com/wp-con...ath-Guitar.jpg
The bass player and lead singer better be wearing eye protection!
... and speaking of bass player's, this one gives a whole new meaning to term "bass guitar" 8O

Not really ugly, more WTF?

I kind of get the humor behind the racquet guitar - who hasn't played a racquet like this? Now you can do it for real.
I see all manner of earthing issues with the Tenniscaster...
OK. Well, some may consider this an ugly guitar while others consider it a beautiful one. One thing for sure, it certainly is a weird one.

Awesome! Stupid, but awesome.
Pablo, you da man. I wondered if there would be a clip of this thing. Thanks for finding and sharing. And yes, you are right, stupid but awesome. You gotta ask why. Where the hell do you buy strings?
I can't believe this one hasn't gone up yet.

Gibson really need to cut Zack Wylde off until this has been atoned for. Horrid.
Didn't know where else to post this . . .
See pic @ bottom right - I guess it's a reversal of ways to hang guitars?
Pretty 8-) though.

I WAS thinking of making a Breadwinner... I had one in early 80's and rather liked it. (Can't remember why I sold it...)
o.O
where to begin....
I'll start with more hideous Gibsons- They have a KNACK for godawful design:

I confess I'm kinda liking the second from the bottom... lol
Well Gibson never really made the Moderne when the released the Flying V and the Explorer. Although I think they did end up doing a limited edition "re-issue". It has one of the stupid headstock designs of all time. Especially as it needs those rollers just so the strings can get from the nut to the tuning machines.
How about this one - Yamaha Silent Guitar

Oh dear, the 20/20 bass... I had forgotten about that particular horror.
The term 20/20 refers to the vision the designer said he had to get the job....
Her's a few more monstrocities:
