29? Pfft. This one's got 30! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqpm1xy-t_A

Before you know it you'll be playing notes on, like, the 22nd fret and it's really easy and you're, like, woah. I can't believe they haven't made a 9-string version of this yet.

That's a loving Alembic, isn't it? I know they're supposed to play like butter, but Jesus Christ they look horrible and everyone who uses them either sounds meh (Stanley Clarke) or doesn't sound any different than they did when they were using Fenders (John Paul Jones). Bass players are the worst gearheads out of anyone, and will buy up any poo poo with a $2,000+ price tag.

I'm pleased you haven't lost sight of the importance of tone. I cringe at the thought of doing 220bpm diminished sweep arpeggios through my line6 rig if you had chosen a regular sharpie, normal paint and finish.

I have been reliably informed that using an inferior make of marker will clog the wood pores and ruin the sustain. Rest assured that I will tap-test many sharpie markers until I find the right one.

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.

Well this I cannot wait to see.

Hey, I appreciate that sentiment a lot.

It's all good really, I dig my flamey-topped, gaudy things, but there'll always be someone that doesn't. Les Paul divided everyone with their chambering/weight relief, PRS with the 'heel' and CNC, it's no big thing. (I DO get testy about the blues dad thing because I AM older, but I hate the blues). No worries! I just wanted to throw that into the ring since it met the criteria, having been determined earlier to be an ugly guitar and it's me making music type sounds come out of it. :)

Besides, if I REALLY cared what people thought, being in Alabama, I'd be playing a Telecaster in some country band somewhere trying to figure out why my ol' lady sisterwife took my dogs when she left with my house trailer.

I think it's only ugly if you play pretentious horrible bullshit. I mean, sometimes I weld poo poo and I have to do it in a hurry, just to make something work (like an irrigation pipe, or a cracked intake manifold on a tractor) and I know what I've done could be dressed with a grinder, but man, it's beautiful if it works. Especially if it's bone chilling cold and you're out of your mind trying to convince yourself that "give it one more go - you're made of tougher poo poo, make this motherfucker work" is going to pay off.


Function over form.


So lets hear some function, fuckos. Make that ugly poo poo sing and soar you loving faggots.
