Your favourite non-classic guitar shapes

Post by Zaulkin »

What guitars do you love the look of but are not considered classic?

I've been thinking of putting together a frankenstein of all my spare parts as a backup guitar / project / lender. Let's be honest, it'll probably end up a tele... but I have been considering ways in which I could make it my own shape, or just make it unique.

So what guitars do you like the look of that are not:
Strats
Teles
Les Paul Standards
RGs
Jazzmasters etc
Unless the controls/pickups are seriously different than what's conventional.
Variations of shapes are OK - e.g. Ibanez blazer.

Post pics! :)

Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...
