Poll: Is this guitar Fugly? Ugly? So-so? Ho Ho? Yo Yo?

[nightlight]

I like this axe, but it does come to me that some might find it ugly.

I used to have a Mayones that was brilliant but also ugly, so I had to move it because of OCD.

This guitar has a beautiful top, and I like the Explorer shape, but I find the headstock quite odd.

That said, it is a Knaggs, and I am hearing more and more about how they're wonderful to play. And given the body is awesome, but no the headstock, I would go with a So So rating, or maybe even a Ho Ho (it's ugly but nice).

So the merits of getting one aside, was quite curious to assess others' reaction. Please participate in the poll and drop your comments.

I'm not a huge fan of the top, but the shape is cool as heck

looks hideous with the gold hardware and those inlays, replace the gold with black hardware and lose the inlays and it could look amazing

I voted ugly but i have no doubt it’s an amazing quality build

So ugly that I bet Reza has 7 of them by now

It isn't foot shaped enough

It's got that cool offset RD shape so it's got that going for it...but the hardware, headstock, top and finish are verging on jam band so that's no bueno...

It isn’t Doc Marten enough

They really need reverse headstocks on these. For some reason it goes from “boner killer” to “schwing!” as soon as the headstock is reversed.

Yes! I concur with this assessment
That reverse headstock changes the whole vibe.
As for the op's guitar.....well, its a Knaggs, so it probably plays and sounds great.
Just don't play it in front of a mirror lol!

I like it. But, hate gold hardware.

I'm actually down for a "Ho Ho" on the poll. I don't think it's gorgeous, but this is the kind of guitar that looks best with someone holding it in a horizontal position on stage.

The headstock looks much better than a Tyler.

Tylers look obnoxious by themselves, but I really like them when looking at them in a 45-degree horizontal position in mine or anyone else's hands.

Like in this video, I think the headstock looks kind of cool



Then again, that could be just me ho ho! Wouldn't be the first guitar I bought, went home and then said, "Damn, is that thing fugly!"

I’m the weirdo I guess that likes it as is.
