I'll just post the best ones.


Obviously there are millions with ugly paintjobs or homemade guitars


But why bother with those when there's some real garbage out there that people spent a lot of time making.

haha i love the thumbs up one. if i could find a neck with enough wood on the headstock i'd cut it the other way it points up instead of sideways when it's being played.

It's a Lindert Guitar. They stopped manufacturing in 2002, but right now they're selling for about $2500 on ebay. What a steal!

Gibson is just terrible in general




This is not a Gibson, but it's still terrible.

Here's a 9 string from Ron Sword.


Eeeewwww


Alright unless anybody has specific requests for something they want to see...


I'm gonna wrap it up.


Although I feel like I've covered pretty much every single different type of ugly guitar and can't imagine what else there could be.

Holy poo poo if you are familiar with what Michael Hedges (R.I.P.) did with a harp guitar like that, you'd appreciate it. O wait this is GBS you'd hate it!

gibson can be okay i mean i really like the sg despite how fragile it is and the les paul jr range and i think the explorer sounds pretty good for such a pointy guitar. they're just way too expensive and when gibson tries to get creative all they do is churn out giant turds with unbelievable pricetags. also their qa tends to suck. you can pretty much get cheaper guitars or even build one from parts / kit and get the sound + look and feel of a gibson for a fraction of the cost.

Right, just going to plan things out for this loving stupid guitar I'm going to make. Posting off my phone so I can't easily go through the thread, is this right?

Seafoam Green
Surfboard Shaped
Has to have that stupid dogge meme on it somewhere
Monkey-grip/Dickhole (I am going to be calling monkey-grips dickholes from now on, it's too good)
A gloryhole
Gold Hardware
Random Pointy bits coming out of one side
Tuners on the bottom, keep the headstock EDIT:put a pick-guard on it.
Useless pickguard
Lots of pickups 4 Cheap-rear end humbuckers and switches
Autism Ribbon
Edit: Scallop the neck
Edit: Bitcoin QR code/Ron Paul on neck
Edit: Useless pot on the headstock labelled 'You Suck'

That everything? Anyone got any more suggestions? I dare say I can cram a couple more things on it (Just remember that I'm using a pre-made neck because gently caress making a neck for this abortion, so no more than 6 strings).

Scalloping I can do (well, probably, never scalloped a neck before, no one ever asked for it), Bigsby's are a bit pricey, if I can find one cheap enough I'll whack it on the headstock or something, no promises though.

I went digging through my spares earlier and I've got loads of totally mismatched humbuckers that I've removed from guitars over the years, I shall pick the cheapest, nastiest ones I can find.

I was honestly thinking of inviting people/goons around to shred on it and posting videos. I could totally do blind comparisons with some of my nice guitars and borrow some nice guitars off friends though.

what about a double neck, if it's easier make one of them fretless (bass or guitar w'ever) for max horribleness
