Back 31.10.2007

> Ken UK | 31.10.2007

those really were ugly guitars

> guitar hero | 31.10.2007

Haha... Those are ugly has hades. Nice pics.

> Jason @ ATOMIC Guitarist | 31.10.2007

Thanks for the comments guys!

> Michael (GuitarSite.com) | 31.10.2007

I thought a couple were pretty cool... OK, lemme HAVE IT!!! LOL...

> Avron | 31.10.2007

i didnt think a couple were too bad but most of them were appalling. ESPECIALLY that samurai guitar.. wtf is that supposed to be anyway?

> sven | 01.11.2007

haha yeah, there's always a few that people don't mind. Even I have a few personal favs in there that I wouldn't mind owning.

> Michael (GuitarSite.com) | 01.11.2007

one man's meat's another's poison.....

> ezasfission | 01.11.2007

I was actually tempted to put in a bid for the Dobbincaster (the horsey one). It brings a smile to my face every time I see it.

> GLW | 01.11.2007

Sweet wEb DUDE I love his website but your guitars are ugly lol... -.- rock on!!

> Tommy | 01.11.2007

Thanks for the comments chaps.

You wouldn't dare would you GLW?

> Michael (GuitarSite.com) | 01.11.2007

I wonder if they sound ugly? Or if you can get music videos from the owners.

> Manny Mestas | 02.11.2007

The horsie one that GLW submitted should have made the no1 position, the look on that ponies face was priceless, the ebay auction showed better/funnier pictures.

> lee_uk | 02.11.2007

I almost threw myself away - THATS GREAT - what a laugh!

Thank you all, I wasn't as happy for a long time;-)

Andi

> Andi | 02.11.2007

Th grateful dead one and the last one are fuckin sweet!

> Frankie Mother Fucker | 04.11.2007

hey you people told thoose gutiars whos boss but i'd say #5 was the creepest
bye

> crystal | 11.11.2007

Crystal: #5 was also a personal fav of mine. Or personal hate. Whichever you choose to call it.

> Michael (GuitarSite.com) | 15.11.2007

these guitars are fugly and now I have to shite!!!

> papasan | 22.11.2007

Yep good ole Number 5 is a horror. Why do people without talent insist on trying to put "beautiful" women in their creations? That broad with her legs spread around the dobro looks like that stinky old beer whore that inhabits every bar in the South (I know, I grew up there) she's in her forties but looks like she is in her sixties and smells like she is already dead and started rotting. The one who never, ever has any money and is forever stumbling towards you while you are drinking your beer, half walking-half falling, over-emoting in a big breathy way "gimme a shigarette" with that nasty breath, one tit halfway hanging out of a dirty blue dress that looks like it was made out of a dirty old bedsheet and probably was. The one that even the old black guys won't touch, the one that's always broke yet always drunk because everyone buys her a drink on the condition that she goes away. She has feet that look like she's never owned shoes and a face that looks like it fell off the back of a garbage truck. Here name is Donna and she has "Property of Bear" tattooed crudely on her ass. You know the one. So what kind of person paints her on their guitar? I don't wanna know.

> Ze de Caixiao | 13.12.2007

In my line of work, I would gladly use every one of these guitars.

> El Kabong | 20.01.2008

Some of 'em r kool!!!! not ugly

> Katelynn | 18.07.2008

The grateful dead one is really nice ..!
Also the blues one..!
The samurai sucks big time

> Costas Cyprus | 21.08.2008

These ugly guitars are an obvious effort by the Obama campaign to demoralize conservative guitar players. Don't fall for this obvious ploy!

> Bmann | 18.09.2008

The blues one with the girl on the blue dress and the Dobro is by a guy names Doug Rowell, as is the golf one. He custom carves whatever the client wants. As far as i know, he carves, the customer paints. Check out his site and you'll see that he is definitely not a talentless guitar butcher.

> Dman | 20.09.2008

uh i think #7 was found in the dumpster and he tried to fix it. either that or he likes things to look like real old battled all the way though guitars like this one

> james | 21.09.2008

Oh shit! Nightmare guitars. Some kind of woods into the fire...

> Warfire | 04.03.2009

G U I T A R S THAT CAN MELT YOUR TEETH....peaceful death thru bad A R T .

> BLUESTOOTH | 09.03.2009

Hell yeah, one is most ugly guitar that my eyes had ever seen :D But each human have own art

> Manda | 23.06.2009

I'll like most of those I didn't think they were ugly, but #6 is just horrible what did they do to that poor guitar?

> jtb500 | 02.07.2009

Yes No.5 is bad, really bad, but no.4 is far far worse. It's just bloody awful. The golf ball, the curved handled left handed sand wedge (??), the mawkish sentiment expressed like the worst 1960s Hallmark greeting card you can think of.
I just had to post this comment as the design made me feel sad and hopeless and so so alone.
Having just started playing the guitar this one made me want to give up, go into a bare empty room and face the wall. It made me want to go out into the forest, scoop a shallow hole in the soft mossy ground, cover myself over with dead leaves and just let nature take its course. :-)
