    This guitar that @not_the_dj posted is an absolute gorgeous guitar to me. I'm typically not a fan of LPs, or that colour, but all things considered, I think it's the best looking guitar in the thread so far.

    Thanks @Tenebrous it was a 40th birthday pressie to myself a few years back. 
    It has a pylon stuck on it and thus must be destroyed! :) 
    I’ve given that horrid bass of yours a dislike lol. The one that Dali could have painted ;-)

    If its any consolation, I've tried to vote on them all, and have done it properly. :) 

    @Sporky finally we know who the wizzer is ;)

    There are loads of lol's for some really cool guitars on there and if it was genuine dislike there must be a lot of people who are visually impaired and have a lack of taste .  It's still  pretty funny either way - lets hope if there is another brexit referendum Fretboarders will be disqualified from voting .
    Pretty much sums up my thoughts too, mate. 

    Again, I've said this a few times over the past few weeks...context as to why someone likes or dislikes something would be helpful, with an example of what they do like, would be even better. Granted, the thread doesn't lend itself to such discussion, but it would be interesting to interrogate the statistics a little more.

    Well I guess the results were always going to be the same..  Some people have different taste to me.. Some people have more similar taste to me..

    While its kind of interesting, I don't expect any new answers out of it  :)

    I have always wanted a good idea of what people really think of my half and half guitar though. But I expect only a few will like it since its neither a burst or a super flamey PRS  ;)

    I've lol'd at a few guitars in that thread, and my biggest reason for doing so is that I don't like guitars that are unironically garish. Like, my RG looks OTT & stupid, but it's an 80s Superstrat so it gets away with it from me. Meanwhile, heavily flamed tops, bindings all over the place & sparkly hardware just never did it for me.

    But that doesn't really cover it properly, as I absolutely love the look of Dusenbergs... I can't explain it, I give up.

    2 out of the 3 I posted are getting more lol's than wows :o I've a sneaky feeling that the Yamaha would get a few more of the latter if it didn't say Yamaha on the headstock, but hmmm ;)

    Well whatever consensus is here, I'm guessing cool is the opposite, and that's fine by me

  • I've voted for everything so far, just on a simple gut reaction for each. I did find that I was Lol'ing more than wow'ing though

    Personally I just like looking at guitars ... don't care about the fact nobody likes my guitars .... :-)

    Don't bank on the fact that people understand the rules ....

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

    Different taste isn't a lack of taste - I'm not sure if you were serious when you posted this but if so it seems remarkably blinkered and dismissive of other people liking different stuff than you.

    Natural finish guitars/where you can see the grain guitars have gotten all the wows from me.. also find myself attracted to many of the hollow bodies.. uh oh.. 

    Not so keen on flame tops (les pauls with that line down the middle ;) )

    My taste in guitars is fairly bland and traditional - not too keen on anything trying to be too pretty. I also LOL the black beauty. Now I love black beauties, one of my all time favourites. But in the picture it looked too gold and shiny. i probably should've Wiz'd it, but as i thought it was some light hearted inane internet fun which wasn't intended to offend I didn't really give it much thought. I scrolled through the pictures and went with my first impression based on the photo.

    Given how many you have posted up, you'd better be careful to make sure who you give your address to.
