wholeheartedly agreed! There's nothing (inanimate object wise) sexier than a tele!

Tele's are close to LPs, but I prefer the carved top/binding on an LP. Also, Teles usually have black dot inlays, which bore me to tears. I love MoP on a good LP.

Well I personally think Gretsches are the sexiest guitars, by a good margin. But the shape isn't the sexy part, it's more the accoutrement.

Of course, it's far more complicated than shape... guitars also suffer from "Butter face" syndrome. Some people just don't have an eye for color... like tort guards on bursts. :earl:
I'm not big on the jags and 'stangs, though. They remind me of the thin homely girl with the long stringy unwashed hair, plastic framed coke bottle glasses, and a mouth full of metal that is single handedly paying one orthodontist's salary. You know, the girl who always sits alone in the corner of the lunchroom eating her brown bag lunch consisting of a smashed PB&J, apple, and a juice box while intently reading this week's New York Time's best selling novel.

haha. I guess. I just like the guitars. They scream "cool" to me, at least.

Telecasters, Strats, Les Pauls, SGs, Flying Vs, Explorers, and Hamer Sunbursts with Sustain Block bridges. Also '58 Les Paul Juniors.
Those are my favorites, in no particular order.
I don't think sexiest is the word for it though, because that depends on who's playing the guitar. But some guitars sell themselves based on their own looks.
Remember those adds Dean used to run in the GP magazines with the sexy girls holding the guitars? Great stuff! But I never actually bought one of Dean's guitars.

BAH teles.
The shape anyway. They sound good.
But they look to me like the paddle of some sort of boat that has to cross a river of *expletive*. Everything about that shape is wrong, lol. Fat, upright, stodgy, and to top it off, usually wearing a cowboy hat. And the headstock... I'll stop.
Jags JMs. The first axes I ever saw and thought looked REALLY cool (moreso the Jag). I love the skewed shape... looks futuristic, and fits surf music, almost like a cresting wave... Then I played one, and was set
The way they hug your body too... Or I suppose the Jag in particular you could compare to the tailfin of a car...
...Mustangs are pretty too, but I wouldn't call them sexy. More playful.

When I look at a LP, I always think of my grandfather. He was cool, but good ol' Grandad didn't exactly exemplify sexy/vibe-a-licious to me.
Teles are cool guitars, but they look like Leo Fender's high school wood shop project. They lack refinement (which is a good thing in its own right).
The sexiest guitar shapes are without a doubt Strats and Jag/JM's. Smooth curvaceous lines, and no bindings or elaborate flames to complicate matters.

I love the look and feel of the Ibanez Roadstar IIs... at least the 1986 models that were slimmed down a tad. They have a smooth comfort to them that makes them almost orgasmic to the touch.
Slash put it best, "Guitars, Women and Cars are the most beautiful things in the world. In that order."
