Ugly guitar of the day

axisus

Well, ugly to my eyes, maybe someone here likes this tele

Specifically I don't like: the rivets, the leather top, the leather cut-outs, the controls, the bigsby 'frame", the bridge pup holder and the vibrato bar

Phil_aka_Pip

I don't like any of it

Bogwhoppit

Teles have that effect....and what's all the other stuff about !

thumpingrug

Looks as though it was a nice Esquire once

xmrchi

Johnny atomic bloody loves it!

blueskunk

Nice

blueskunk

Looks like something The Rock should be playing.

JayGee

All kinds of wrong. And yet...

Sassafras

Certainly the most inconveniently placed trem bar I've ever seen.

bazxkr

I'm a sad ol' git then cos I like it haha Trem is great...you can tap and whammy at the same time.

Perhaps my leather fetish & love of Calamity Jane helps LOL

EricTheWeary

I'm okay with it except for that arm which just seems unwieldy. Mr Atomic is a regular on tdpri and comes from Little Rock, the town where MrsTheWeary used to live. Where 'music' means country music. That's it. Anything non country will be shot on sight. Yeehaa! =D>

Whenever I see someone mention "ugly guitars" I remember how different my tastes are to a lot of yours so my reaction before clicking the thread was "Hmmm, I'll be the judge of this..."

You're right though.

DrJazzTap

Vibrato/Tremolo arm needs to be longer.

Dominic

My thoughts exactly.

I very nearly like it. I've seen a tooled leather gretsch and it was gorgeous. But this one is like... No.

hotpot

Is that a sheep or a steer embossed in it! It looks shite whichever it's supposed to be. does it come with one o those spittoon doohickys too!

Deadman

Well, I couldn't own it. In the same way I couldn't own a Smith and Wesson.

Rox

So... do I need to go to a psychiatrist or Specsavers... I like it.

bingefeller

It's very TGP.

xSkarloey

:-S

If that guitar were a person it'd be George W Bush.

Plukky

I'm impressed that you hate it so much that you don't even like that it has volume and tone controls...
