Well.. I think in the catogory ''most ridiculous guitar design of all times'' I would like to nominate Tosin Abasi's new guitar.

What ever happened to the rule of not calling things ugly around here?
Come on. You've been here long enough to know that's a fairly conservative design in the grand scheme of things.
Be more specific with your critiscism. What exactly do you not like?
I actually rather like it. Not really the headstock but the finish and colors look great to me. The body shape isn't my thing but I don't mind it.
The fret markers are odd, but not too odd that I would call it ugly. I can see some functionality to the body design. The odd cutout on the lower end of the body could be used to rest it on your leg for a seated semi upright position. Much like some guitarists do with the flying V bodies.

I, too, think it looks pretty cool.
Not really all that odd. Klein and Ovation used to make ergonomic bodies like that years ago. Can't say I care much for the color, but other than that, it looks quite functional ... for an 8-string, anyway.
They're rectangular, but because of the multiscale and fanned frets, there's an optical illusion.
