Donkey’s 5th leg, as we Brits (suspicious of continental wurst) refer to them.

For the Wangcaster gig-bag, I was thinking more along these lines, Mike:

Serious bloke stretch-testing latex; QC being important and all that. BTW, what is the thingy on the right side of the bloke’s desk? A lunchtime Kofta kebab? Homework?

Stood up I’d have thought that was better balanced than a regular V (although I’m a bass player, horn above the 12th rule and all that).

Does look crap though.

I would like to see a design for a transparent, weatherproof gig-bag for the Wangcaster.

😆 Good to see you back and on top form Mike.

And, to bring things back to the light-hearted, penile dimension you expect from Guitarsite, here’s CarverDoug’s “Wangcaster”. Of course, it was done with tongue (or something) firmly in cheek:

I don’t think the “golf dad guitar” will win. Lee and I are parents as well as sons. We can look at this guitar and realize the truly awful gut-feeling of poor Jordan as he stumps up a probably significant sum of money for this horror. That’s nothing compared to the feeling as, surrounded by family and “Happy nth Birthday” bunting, he hands it over to his dad. As Aunt Mabel gasps, Jordan’s dad has to pretend he is overcome with emotion, whilst wondering if he really looks like a cerebrally-damaged half-wit in real life. The only thing close that you youngsters will understand is Steve Martin’s performance in Housesitter, when he is pushed into doing “Tula Lula” to his dad. Incredibly, it’s the only clip from the film that has been uploaded onto YooToob; and is all the better for being the Italian version:

I like to try and imagine these things onstage, in action, hence, for pure wtf value ‘The Samurai’ has to get my vote…You could stand at the back of a packed gig with a few thousand people pogo-ing in front of you and still say with all confidence: “That is one butt-ugly guitar”

OK Mike these are my favs from the past 12 months, a lot are sadly not here any more as people tend to post links to ebay and not upload them to imageshack and link them in.
anyway, you said we can have as many as we want, these are my highlights, glw seems to be the best finder, and i found it difficult trying to dig out the worst, it was a toss up between 1bassleft and glw’s ‘dobbin’ but 1bassleft just nicked it, his one is the one on the bottom of this list.

Cracking effort from everyone though.

This one is my all time favourite, had me in tears for ages.
Well done 1bassleft for this all time classic.

A quick scan of “definitely” suggests any and all of the “Carverdoug” monstrosities (Lennon perhaps the worst) and glw’s Coral Reef thing, along with Lee’s Space-Rocket find.

From a quick flick, I’d also like to nominate glw’s “Boss-ted” Telecaster, Mike’s Toilet Bowl and, if I may, the “dead cat bounce” fur-covered Dean I spotted on Fleeb (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a76/guitarczar/fur1.jpg).

All taken from the “worst finish” thread.

I haven’t rummaged through the Nov 2006 – Oct 2007 examples yet, but I wouldn’t quibble if all of those glw finds made the top ten. Disgusting, each and every one.

Of those I’ve submitted recently, I would again like to make a case for the following. The pictures speak for themselves.
