Most Embarrassing Guitar Crush

Re: Most Embarrassing Guitar Crush

I actually like both of those. The first one would look a little ridiculous on stage, but I'd rock the hell out of that Destroyer.

The ESP Jeune Fille X. It's one of their $8,000 Custom Shop Artist models.

I don't play gothic doom metal so I really wouldn't look right with this thing, but I've always wanted one.

Dude, WTF? Seriously. That's just awful! :barf:

When I was 11 the local music store had one of these hanging on the wall.
It was far out man!

The 2 pickup, red version of this was my first guitar.

Like other guys have said, if I played a different genre I'd rock this!

Re: Most Embarrassing Guitar Crush

I got 1 for the present -
Jessie Sammler's butterfly guitar looks pretty cool (except for the pink pups)
I would probably give it to my niece though...

I've never been embarrassed by any guitar I've ever liked.

Before anyone points it out, this guitar is between, um, electronics right now. I don't even have to say that the knobs were, and will be, bright pink plastic.

Frankly, anyone who pretends to be appalled by pointy, big-haired, 80's-style metal guitars but secretly thinks they're cool, is a big poser. P. O. S. E. R. Poser. Poh-suh-her. Po-ho-ho, ho-huh-suh-her.

This one sort of forces you to use 90 degree angled cables all the time...unless you feel like smacking the cable with the Floyd bar when going into Steve Vai mode...design fail. I will say that the fact that the jack isn't in the lower wing like the cheaper Jacksons does make more sense when playing that sitting down though. Now THAT is a design fail.

I dunno. I always thought the Avril Lavigne Telecaster was Ska-tastic. It's such a rude boy guitar....I'd love to get my hands on one of those and change the neck...Maybe add something like a Phat Cat or something to keep it rocking. I also want a Joan Jett MM sig but that's not something I'm embarrased of at all. It's a pretty rocking guitar!

Unfortunately the guitar does NOT include the girl :smack:...is that a marketing fail or what!?

Let's hope that it does involve actually plugging the ****ing thing in, unlike poor old Avril there.

It's a cool guitar though, I'd rock it.

Not embarrassed, I still want one!

Re: Most Embarrassing Guitar Crush

I wanted an Ibanez Destroyer like Phil Collen's soon after Pyromania came out, but now realize you can't avoid looking like a Def Lep fanboy using one.

Well Joe, maybe that's because all you know how to play is the opening riff to Photograph. Get some chops - that will help substantially.

Pink BC Rich Warlock.

Carvin V220 with a Kahler. Those old Guitar Player ads got to me. I got a Strat instead- a pretty rare model I still have...its called "The Strat" from 1982.

PFD: you gotta go all the way, man, and get the SK! I'd love one for a sight gag. Some may find it embarrassing, but only real men play pink guitars :smokin:.

If Prince played metal...

Re: Most Embarrassing Guitar Crush

I actually had one of these for a while:

Natural finish. Good guitar, but what was I thinking?

I´d still be more than happy to rock one of those!

some of the others on this thread too.

My "crush" is also something I´d be happy to play now too; a Kramer Pro Axe Std...I´m even contemplating building something along similar lines at some stage in the future.

The type of music I play now has mellowed a lot but it definitely wouldn´t stop me from wanting to play some cool guitars.

Before I knew anything about gtrs, I thought gtrs like this were it...all those pups and knobs...must be good!

I've kept my lust respectable since then.

That is the only guitar my Girlfriend likes the look of. Apparently the necks are great on these.
