What's the worst guitar there is?

I dont know that much about guitar types but i'm using a fender squier strat and i've heard they're quite cack.

feylya · 06-03-2005 05:19PM

I wouldn't put much faith in this

Squiers aren't all that bad tbh. I've played a few nice ones.

HomesickAlien · 06-03-2005 05:22PM

with a price like that how can one go wrong :rolleyes:

Eoin Madsen · 06-03-2005 09:14PM

That's a prop guitar, for smashing at moderately priced gigs.

I've heard that there are good Squiers made "back in the day". But I have never ever heard one.

feylya · 06-03-2005 09:16PM

Played an 80's Jap Squier in a shop a while back. It was actually quite nice.

If I'd a bit of cash, I'd buy half a dozen of those cheap ass guitar for smashing and then build new bodies for them.

eh, there are so many worse guitars than squiers, worse sounding too. The worst acoustic guitars i would say are probably Oakman guitars. I think Squiers are very playable and are a perfect introduction to electric guitars, Encore would be another example of a lower grade of a copy of a strat.

Squiers arent bad at all. I've played some perfectly acceptable squiers. That said, I've played some terrible ones too. The worst guitars in my experience are all the ones in waltons that arent hanging high up. Sx, encore etc

feylya · 07-03-2005 12:18AM

I've a strat made of plywood sitting beside me right now. The fretboard is pitted to hell but I reckon with some new strings, it could sound pretty decent.

Oeneus · 07-03-2005 01:51AM

A friend of mine also has an old 80's squier strat, and yeah, it is rather nice.

But the worst guitars I have ever played are cheap ass strat replicas. Absolutely nothing goes right with some of them.

The best budget guitar I've ever used would be a Yamaha Pacifica. They're not actually half bad. Just a bit boring.

i think the LTD series of ibanez are fúckin awful.. give me a squire anyday

Zoton · 07-03-2005 02:09PM

Played an acoustic that was left in a damp room leaning on a radiator for a few years. It was just horrible, warped, impossible to tune. Hilariously awful.

magpie · 07-03-2005 02:18PM

This is the worst guitar ever made

Don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise.

D!ve^Bomb! · 07-03-2005 02:19PM

OMG look at that headstock:eek:

Ancient1 · 07-03-2005 02:24PM

Damn! That headstock could have been used as a paddle!

Ibanez don't do LTD's. ESP do. Unless the Ibanez LTD's are very very rare...

D!ve^Bomb! · 07-03-2005 02:56PM

oh yeah sorry, me wasn't thinkin, i mean ESP.. woops:D

feylya · 07-03-2005 03:02PM

LTD's are quality guitars. Have you actually played some of the higher series or are you basing your opinions on the 50s?

eoin5 · 07-03-2005 03:19PM

Tanglewood Elf. I tried one in a shop, the whammy went down but didnt come up! terrible terrible guitar, tho no surprise given how small they are.

feylya · 07-03-2005 03:47PM

TBH, I've an M-100. Damn nice guitar. Has been my main guitar for about 5 years.

Low end models do exactly what they say on the tin, and they're practically guaranteed to be fairly awful. Ever played a BC Rich Bronze Series? Oh the humanity!

feylya · 07-03-2005 07:24PM

TBH, the 50 series from LTD aren't that bad. Not worth the money (€400+) but I've played far worse instruments.

It wasn't me! · 07-03-2005 09:40PM

I cut my finger on the edge of a Bronze series Beast. Neck was fast as hell but the quality left just a little to be desired. :rolleyes:

Esteban are used on some US forums as the epitomy of an awful guitar. Read some reviews on them and everybody who has one seems to have received their's with a warped neck.

Squiers aren't that bad, the standard series aren't too bad anyway, Affinity ones ain't great. High end Ltds definetely aren't bad, got an ESP Ltd F400FM a few weeks ago. Spec is good (mahogany body, real EMGs, Earvana nut, flamed maple top, set thru neck etc), it plays well and it looks amazing in real life.

Worst electric guitar I've played, in terms of playability more so then sound, was probably an Aria, old one, can't remember the model but it was based on the look of a Gibson ES335.

jinxed · 14-03-2005 12:02AM

i had a aria it was terrible, i think it was called the stg 003

feylya · 14-03-2005 12:04AM

They're not terrible guitars actually. My mate had one. Decent enough beginners guitars. Made of real wood, unlike more expensive Aria's that are made of plywood.
