Well, since you brought Epiphone up, what about the hideous Air Screamer? I mean, who in their right mind would want a guitar styled after a caravan?

Or does it not count because we're now getting into the realm of weird shaped guitars rather than just 'orrible finishes? |

glw, although Lee is desperate to win a trophy, I rule all your entries as admissable eye-ache. The sprained-class "Birth of Jesus" Gibson...  ... Did any examples survive an immediate strike from a bolt of lightning? And the Epiphone has to be towed to gigs by some porky diesel saloon? I love the 'attractive' bint modelling it. The same tactic is used with full-size caravans, draped with totty. The subliminal message is, "No, you are not middle-aged for wanting this comfortable 4-berther with chemical toilet! You really are a wildchild freedom-seeker getting back to nature - and 20somethings in bikinis will fancy you, honestly"
Is it just me, or does that ESP look like it will melt if placed too near a radiator? |

I believe the ESP Devil Girl body was moulded from some kind of plastic, so who knows...
It might look better melted.
Dare I post a picture of the Bender Distortocaster at this point? |

| Please. I would love to know what a "Distortcaster" looks like. |

Hey I'm Welsh, so let's not have any welsh-bashing, thank you very much!
Look again at the Welsh flag and you'll see it's a red dragon and not bloody bat girl.
Anyway, some great bands have come out of Wales, e.g. the magnificient Super Furry Animals.
OK, I'm off to find a picture of a Distortocaster for you. |

It's a Strat that's had a make-over by Salvador Dali.
There was a guy recently selling one of these on eBay and also a Collision bass.
They are made by Brian Eastwood (whose website now seems to be dead, unfortunately). |

And here's another scary design on a production guitar... Who remembers the Gibson Corvus?
