What's the guitar you should hate but love?

Strangefan

These are f@#king horrible in every way, but my god I would give my hard earned money for them! 


What are yours?

Mine is a little more tame than yours but gretsch black falcons and white falcons or that size guitar really, not a fan of its size but really wanting one or a similar guitar.

I stupidly passed on buying one at a reasonably good price a couple of years ago...

(For what it's worth I probably shouldn't like Vai's music either, but I do.)

Thankfully these don't seem to come in paint jobs that appeal to me, nor without the pointy headstock and weird neck designs, but I quite like the shape of this one (apart from the headstock)

You beat me to it. I was going to post a JEM.

I don't have any shredder guitars. A JEM is somewhat expensive so maybe at some point in the future I'll get an RG550 as a compromise.

Heavy, uncomfortable, limited access to top frets... and yet there’s something magical about them.

I love a good Strat and know exactly what I want to see in one, a light weight, alder body with good contours, and a proper vintage-style trem.

Naturally, the one I have which is my favourite of the half dozen or so I've owned has none of those attributes. It's a keeper though, it might be a crap Strat but it's a great guitar.

I would absoloutly rock that

I had one....and sold it. To date my most regrettable transaction. Still gives me a sweat thinking about it

They're ridiculously big, and not really my thing at all, but I would love to own an old Gibson Super 400

I have a les paul less plus. It seems like it’s the guitar everyone hates. Wide nut, thin body, belly cuts etc but it’s the best les paul I’ve ever owned!

I played one of these recently. Utterly blown away by it.  Carbon Fibre neck, lush as anything. So easy to play if a bit weird cos of no headstock.

Incredibly player, incredible tones.

What are yours? 
 

I want that Dana scoop , that is soooooooo HOT

Have a craving for a St Vincent style guitar

TTBZ

I've wanted a neon orange hardtail Ibanez RG for the longest time. I don't even like Ibanez necks or play anything that requires hairspray or spandex.

Other than that, strats. As someone who only really plays Gibson guitars they're the polar opposite to what I'm used to. But I can't shake that I need one and will be getting my crappy old one back asap so I can use it as a parts project. I like good design and also the relatively no-frills approach of Fender guitars.
