The ugliest guitar on the planet?

^  Was there a website which went into great detail about the carving of that Romeo Rose guitar?  Maybe it was just a dream (or a nightmare....)

Nope.

This beats it.

The Reverse V is stylishly, defiantly wrong… the Firewood X has no redeeming qualities at all.

Whatever you do, don't send that pic to Henry or something like it will be in the Gibson range for 2016.

Not ugly at all really, but downright creepy and disturbing....

That Romeo Rose thing looks like it's made of bread.

It would make a lovely breadboard, now you mention it.

Over the JCF forum there was a horrific octo rape airbrush finished guitar iirc..

Ugly? Anyone remember the Gibson M3?

Oi!

I've got one - & it's the most versatile guitar I've ever had. It's not that ugly

It's actually the headstock that makes those so awful. The body shape by itself is not that bad really, although that nameplate on the upper bout doesn't help. I found it quite a comfortable shape to play, too.

@SteveGV is that a hand giving the finger but the middle fingers a penis?? This planet it insane!

SteveGV

I know I've been trying to work it out! Looking at it again the body looks a little ballbag-ish....god knows!

xmrchi

@SteveGV it's definately phallic-esque! Well you what the say bassists go deeper!

I agree; I don't think it's that bad a design.

However this is a bad design on so many levels:

I think it's ok
