The fact that I immediately recognised the carpet in this photo tells me I spend way too much time (and money) looking at second hand gear. Some other gems from their current stock: Signed by Paul Stanley!    Ugh, okay Ibanez you can go back to making pointy guitars again...  No idea what this is supposed to be.     Bassists!

That B&W Acoustic 12 string is a mariachi guitar if I ever saw one. It's pretty common for mariachi players to commission or buy sorta goofy looking instruments in the B&W color scheme. They look stupid on their own but they sort of work once everyone is in goofy costumes and stuff. That Gretsch bass is pretty good from a certain standpoint. They sound pretty great and are small but still have good sustain so some people like them. One of my old school teachers used to play one before he had a Tobias (nothing says "I'm a Dad in a Jam Band!" like a Michael Tobias bass).

Do morally ugly guitars count? I was learning guitar in high school and ended up with an Ibanez much like this:  I absolutely hated that piece of poo poo. Every single thing with it was a struggle. I don't remember the terminology for most of these things but: - It had two little locking clamps up by the nut that were, I guess, supposed to help you stay in tune while thrashing or leaping around a stage or something. If I remember correctly you had to use an Alan wrench to unlock them. - It had a "floating tremolo" (at least that's what the burnout at Sam Ash who sold it to me called it), which meant that the guitar was never, ever in tune, not even for the briefest of moments. One tiny tap of the whammy bar and every single string was off pitch, forever. I was a retarded teenager and found tuning a guitar to be a life-or-death struggle under even the most favorable conditions, but it was pretty much impossible with this horrible instrument. About ten years later I traded it in for a $99 Fender acoustic guitar, which was a lot more fun and infinitely more playable.

In fairness, if you don't know how to set up a floyd rose then they can be a bit of a pain. The cheaper licensed ones can be squiffy too, especially when they get worn.

I believe this was a real bargain basement Floyd Rose (the guitar cost about $200, if I remember), and it certainly wasn't set up correctly. My guitar teacher mostly played acoustic jazz and could barely figure out how to string the guitar, much less get the tremolo working right. And I knew nothing at all about it.

Well, I have an Ibanez with a lopro edge (supposedly high end Floyd Rose clone) and that poo poo just would not be in tune no matter how many springs etc with heavier strings. I tried everything for a few years untill I blocked it. I put a Tremol-no in it a few years ago and it was still a piece of poo poo without everything locked down.

The cheaper copies are made out of this cheapo soft metal that wears really easily. For a Floyd-Rose to work properly it really needs to use decent steel and the ones on the cheaper Ibanez's are loving terrible.

Wizard neck, pretty decent pickups, floyd rose (dont forgot your tuning comb), not bad for the price at all. Was pretty funny in our band though because the 2 guitarists used to have to switch from an (£800ish) RG and a £2k PRS, to a Yamaha Pacifica 112 and a Squier Strat because one of the songs was in Drop C. Thanks locked tuning

comes along bort posted:pretty much the only floyds worth a poo poo are the original and gotoh licensed ones They are cheap to replace at least, you can get a replacement of the same quality for just over £20 if you know where to look, you can reinforce the pivot points by cutting and filing a stainless steel washer in half and gluing it on with epoxy, makes them last twice as long but looks a bit goofy.

All of my guitars are ugly as heck. I do have an Ibanez Jem 555 thing, plays well but it's got a lovely monkey grip thing, and the fretboard looks like frilly poo poo. It's got one of those floating tremolo things though, and it stays in tune really well. I don't know much about guitars, but power chords sound nice on it. Here's an unrelated ugly / comfy guitar
