Random Guitar Hall of Fail…

A Guitar for the Music Reader, Not the Tab Tinkerer?

Let’s face it, that should’ve been a tablature, given how most of us guitarists read music like we read the terms and conditions – we don’t.

That Bigsby is Confusing !

Must be the work of a Hendrix / SRV fan working at the assembly line ! We are quite sure that it's not the best setting for a Bigsby ! Based on the Bigsby and the upside down G, this guitar is most probably a knock-off of the Gretsch G6120 Eddie Cochran signature with...

Only a Patrick Flying Starfish is Good Enough

This is so wrong in so many ways that it escapes the realm of the guitar fail. The SpongeBob SquarePants' Patrick Starfish guitar is one of those rare guitars that make us say : It is so wrong that it must be right ! Source

This Guitar Tells you How Fast you Can Play ?

Use this guitar only if you're ready to rock...and roll at high speeds! Though shredders might like this speedometer guitar, they might end up frustrated when they'll realize they ain't as fast as they thought !

Frankensteinish SG Jazzmaster Guitar

Weird Frankenstein guitar, right ? These Big G III guitars were made by Dillion Guitars. Obviously, they were discontinued at the request of Gibson Guitars !

KFC Guitar

The rumor has it that Buckethead said "Now that's a finger-lickin' good guitar!" when presented with the KFC guitar ! Anyway, that may be not the best body shape ever but chicken picking should work very well on this instrument !

The Telecrapster : Someone Pooped a Telecaster

This is supposed to be a rattlesnake... You can see its head right above the neck pickup ! The carved poop rattlesnake is not the only weird thing about this guitar. It looks like the builder tried to mix the hardware and electronics of a Telecaster with the bottom...

Joe Bonamassa BonaByrd

Les Paul bodyshape with Firebird headstock signed and played by Joe Bonamassa ? Haters gonna hate ! Gibson Custom has partnered with blues rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa to release a limited edition of 100 Bonabyrd guitars, which merge the body of a 1950s Les Paul with...

You Can’t Turn an Ibanez Iceman into a Gretsch SilverJet

You can try tough. That's not the first time I see an Ibanez Iceman with a Bigsby trem but I can't get used to it. As for the Filtertron, I'm curious to hear that. Why not, after all. Source

The Bum Guitar

Everything is so wrong with this guitar... I guess it was supposed to be an hommage to the female body, it is hilariously creepy instead ! Butt cheeks on the front of the guitar. Boobs on the back of the guitar. A foot-shaped headstock ! If you want to know more about...
