This guitar below kills me. This douche nozzle took a belt sander to his Squier and just went to loving town on it. He went nuts and had the time of his life. Now he believes his ruined Squier is as good as a Custom Shop strat and he's asking $700 shipped for the privilege of being embarrassed and laughed at for owning his failed experiment.

If you own an ugly guitar, you should video yourself doing something songy in it. Bonus points for a bitchin' solo.

Up the ante. If you do a really good piece of work and the thread abides, I'll mail you this perfectly working Boss Super Chorus Pedal (CH-1) that I completely hate if you live in the USA. If you live outside of that, I'll paypal you 20 bux.

Ugliest guitar = bonus points. I am not exempt from this poo poo. I have access to a loving really ugly guitar and I will submit an example. I don't want to win. I really don't.

We're mostly adults here so the voting will be pretty obvious. In the event of a tie or a deadlock, or we can't figure out who won, we'll go into another round or someshit.

If you don't receive the fuckin pedal or 20 bux I toxx clause myself (within 20 days of closing this competition) Worst example also wins some points. If you are so bad that you're amazing, you have to busk somewhere, and I don't give a gently caress if you live in Antarctica, you better get on some live web poo poo and busk there, fucko.


This competition closes on January 25th at 7 pm USA Eastern time.

Oh boy, lovely relic jobs! My first guitar was a Squier VM Jaguar with the lowest effort "relic" job I've ever seen. Check this poo poo out:



(lovely cell pictures, but they get the point across)

Let's break it down:

-The parts of the guitar that the last owner didn't go apeshit on with a chisel and/or a lighter were still as shiny as the day it was new. Guy couldn't even be bothered to hit the whole thing with sandpaper.

-Not really visible in the pics, but the chrome control plates had scratches in them that looked like they were done with a nail or a pocket knife. Because you can totally scratch the area around the jack like that with the end of a guitar cable.

-Squier logo is scratched off. Still identifiable as a Squier because the 'By Fender" portion was left alone.

-EVH cigarette burns on the headstock. Because you'll totally be playing Eruption on this fucker all the time.



I am still amazed that my guitar shop let me trade this piece of poo poo in towards my Strat.

It was being thrown out by somebody. There are a dozen locally free on Craigslist. The late 70s/80s Hammond transistor organs are getting dumped all the time. It's not like I chopped up a B3 or something remotely valuable.

It was a free gently caress around. I wasn't looking for tone nirvana.

Ugly (according to the thread anyway, I loving love it) lawyer guitar PRS on this one. You can't hear the other guitar player in this, so it's all on my head.
