The thing on the back looks like a bottle opener.

Being the age that I am, the backplate reminded me of old 1d sweet dispensing machines. Just needs a coin slot and a knob or wheel to let the sweets drop down.

The back looks vaguely medical, but I'm not sure why.

Any more ugly - I take it you're not a fan of the Strat shape in the first place then?

I have to say that thing is an abomination btw and I do like the Strat body shape!

Uggh! terrible headstock! I couldn't live with that.

I think the headstock's the only decent thing about it.

I didn't actually think it would be possible to make a Strat any uglier than they are already, but hey, you live and learn eh?

You could put a bigsby on it. That would make it more ugly. Although, the luthier seems to be making a good effort so far on his tod.

I don't see what's so bad about it. I mean, it's not a work of art by any stretch but I don't find it really offensive either.

Perhaps I'm ill, but I do like the look and the whole concept.

A different headstock on a Fender style guitar is surprisingly easy to fuck up.

I thought Grosh was a good attempt until I realised it looked like a fat Art Deco penguin.
Now try to unsee that.

Personally I don't think you can put a 3 a side headstock on a strat or tele without it looking wrong. Likewise with 6 in a line on an LP or SG.
