What is that?! And where can I get one?!

All multi necked guitars are uncool.

These are sub-zero, I mean, a signature guitar with no signature visible on the outside of the instrument?

Also, I've always thought Danelectros are cool. They very much plough their own furrow.

Deijavoo

Totally agree on the Cornell sig.

I'll be in the minority with the Cornell 335, then...

YOu and me both.

More car analogy- it's like a matt black car- tasteless.

I've seen plenty of uncool in this thread, one that definitely isn't is the OPs Anderson pic. Weird thread.

Gassage

@axisus

That Anderson is incoming....arrives Weds!

Bucket

Sub zero:

Jazzmasters and Jags

Black Les Paul Customs

Firebirds

Beaten-up Strats

58-style Flying Vs

Juniors and derivatives thereof

60s-style double bound Tele Customs

Mosrites

Cool:

SGs

White LP Customs

67-style Flying Vs

Explorers

Blackguard Teles

Sunburst Les Pauls (generally the more faded the burst, the cooler)

70s style Tele Customs and Deluxes

Gretsches

Rickenbackers

Jackson Soloists, Rhoadses etc, particularly the high-end ones with outrageous airbrushed finishes. So uncool they're cool.

Music Man Axis

Some PRSes

Uncool:

Ibanez RGs and Ss

Most PRSes

Music Man Silhouette, Petrucci model etc

Anderson, Suhr, Vigier and the like

White Strats with maple boards and white scratchplates. Anaemic. 

Teles with white scratchplates and maple boards

Generally things with quilted tops (flamed is always cooler)

Seriously uncool:

Steinbergers, most other headless/ergonomic stuff tbh

B.C. Riches (apart from the early handmade stuff)

Anything with abalone binding and/or a trans black or placenta red quilted maple veneer top. Tacky as all hell.

Black Strats with white scratchplates (screams Encore to me )

Any Dimebag signature Dean (unless you are Dimebag, which you aren't)

Yamaha Pacificas

Doesn't stop me wanting a significant amount of the uncool stuff though. And one of my main guitars has a quilted top.

Gassage

Add Eastwood Airlines to Subzero pls.

shaunm

Sub zero - any guitar designed in the 50's

Seriously uncool - any guitar designed to play metal.

The rest in the middle somewhere

Extending the concept .... There may be some uncool stuff in this old photo of my gear room / guitar shoppe... but added together I think the effect is colder than a witches tit, ... except the rug of course that is very un-cool! 

Can I move in???

And me- I have considerable experience of live-in slavery for financial reward and believe I could serve well in that environ...

@ThePrettyDamned Its my G&l SC-2 , Custom ordered, dual fulcrum bridge and 2 mdf jumbo single coils

Offsets are uncool if they're played by hipsters. Just saying.

Signature models tread a fine line too. Some are very uncool, such as:

Although if you were using it to play country or something it could potentially come all the way round to cool again.

While others are very cool, like this:

Pelham blue guitars generally tend to be cool, and Firebird VII's are also cool.

Almost all relic guitars are very uncool, while almost all guitars that have been genuinely worn to within an inch of their life are cool (although badly neglected guitars are uncool)

blueskunk

Iv kind of moved away from jags/jazzers due to Hipsters playing em and i dont mean Adolph

Gassage

Now, imagine going to an open mic Modern Jazz night...and taking the Zakk Wilde out.

Ice cool in that situation, I'm afraid.
