Any Gibson Explorer shape guitar doesn't do anything for me at all...most of the Dean metal guitars are ugly as well IMHO!!

the reverse explorer has a real rick nielson vibe to me. i kind of dig it.
the reverse v however, is not a guitar, it's an abortion.

Ewww, I've never seen guitars uglier than those...hope I never do
but "the cuttlefish" doesn't look so bad, it reminds of a travel guitar actually.

I lived a in Moscow '78-'82, man, there were some weird guitars back there.
The funny thing was that the price was stamped or embossed on the back of the guitar

You got three pages of ugly here - take your pick:

http://www.carlinoguitars.com/DeanGuitarModels1a.html

http://www.carlinoguitars.com/DBZGuitars_livepics1.html

However, in the meantime my personal pick for "ugly of the century" still goes to this famous "beauty":

My wife took one look at that and immediately said, "Boobs." So I guess it's a matter of your personal perspective.

I see both, one between the other... I'm afraid the connotations wouldn't make it past the censors.
