Anyone else have specific pet peeves as far as a guitar's appearance thats just a deal breaker?

For instance, the two that always get me are
1) A guitar covered in stickers (we get it, you are an anti-establishment revolutionary with strong opinions on government and skate companies)
2) A maple necked guitar that has been shot with a "vintage tint" that looks like mac and cheese sauce.

Whenever I see either of those on a guitar, I am immediately put off regardless of the rest of the guitar's looks or sound or playability.

What about the rest of you?

1. I don't like Floyd Rose trems

2. I don't like sharp, pointy guitars

1) Floyd Rose
2) guitar that is destroyed..... its one thing if its vintage and a bit banged up, that i like, but theres a fine line between 'banged up' and 'was under a herd of stampeding elephants'

Worn out, or artificially worn out guitars. Stupidest thing ever.

Gotta agree. It's like shopping for a used car and seeing 2 identical cars in the same mechanical condition except that one is banged up and rusted out. Then being expected to pay more for the beat up one.

Pointy guitars. Artificially worn out guitars. Crackly pots. Sticky (sticking?) nuts - tuning is enough of a hassle for me!

-Graphics
-Flame tops with too much flame. I like subtle.
-Floyds
-Wraparound Tailpieces
-Pointy guitars
-Most black guitars

Artificially distressed guitars.

1.Reliced guitars,old and with honest roadwear OK. 2.Locking trems of any type 3.Stickers 4.Homemade paint jobs 5.Razor edges and sharp angles.
6.This may raise a few hackles-Strats with humbuckers,I'm striictly a traditionalist,it may suit others but it would stop me from buying a Strat.If I wanted humbuckers I'd buy a Tele Thinline or a Toronado or Les Paul or SG. 7.Guitars with skulls painted on them,that's getting to be a cliche.
