Hackubus Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 My hate list is mostly Gibson-centric: Harmonica bridges on 70s Gibsons Wine Red LP Customs Once upon a time, I loved having zebra pickups in my guitars. I’m over that now. That said, I also find a pair of double black pickups to be pretty boring too. Goldtop LPs with black plastic. Dry looking, lightly colored rosewood fretboards. Witch hat & chicken head knobs 70s-mid 80s SGs where the end of the fretboard butts up directly to the neck pickup, and screw those small rectangular inlays too, while we’re at it Unbound fretboards on a set neck guitar Juniors & Specials with stop bars & tune-o-matics Strats with HSH configurations LP Customs with maple fretboards signed, Hack “The Crown Prince Of Hate”-ubus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menehune Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 These grotesques. And reverse headstocks - especially reverse hockey stick headstocks - are design abominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I like the original Dean headstocks well enough. The redesign, not so much, but it was for a specific market of metal fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I tried the Czech Deans and began playing them frequently, I was so amazed by how good they were, that their headstocks didn’t bother me anymore... and I ended up even liking them!

gorch Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 What really haunts me is the heil-say of Gibson and Fender and that most builders are copying these, not because the standard shapes are in terms natural, but because they are Gibson and Fender. That’s making the guitar market in many ways boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
