World's Ugliest Guitar contest from Eastwood Guitars

[Patriot54]

Going from left to right, I think #5 and #7 (Orpheus 12 & Skurill) are quite awesome, not ugly at all, although I'd put a different bridge on #7.

Why is enter in quotes?  Besides, I already own a Telecaster.

I didn't know there was still a contest. I thought the WGD already won :icon_jokercolor:

If it's Mike Robinson, I met him at the Eastwood booth at a guitar show.  He said, "someone actually reads those emails?"

It's in quotes because I copied the picture from Facebook, and there was an "enter" button you could click on to go to the voting.

Looks like a handy dandy email address collector and spambot interest targeting system to me. Which is essentially what facebook is anyway.

Bingo.

Yep. If I wanted one of those guitars, I'd build it from a Warmoth blank anyway, rather than adding more spam to my e-mail.

FWIW, that ugly tailpiece looks exactly like what's on my old Framus (a variant 5/155-52 Strato Super, early '60s).

I like 3 and 7.

Besides, ugly is notable when it's arrived at in pursuit of some other aspect. When ugliness is the goal for it's own sake, the sky's the limit and it's sort of pointless in making such comparisons.
