I never buy a guitar based on looks. My first concern when looking to buy a guitar is the way it plays and how comfortable it is on me. I usually play a guitar for a half hour or so before I even plug it in to hear it(you can always change a pickup).
Too me playability is key does not matter if a guitar looks good/cool. If it plays bad it could look as nice as it wants you'll be less likely to pick it up and play it. So you could be buying nothing but a expensive decoration

When I was looking for my first Strat, I had played an epiphone SG for 3 years and wanted something different, I tried some American Stranded Strat's, some signature strats, all felt a bit unfamiliar. Now I know scale lengths are different. So as I tried them I decided I wanted a wood grain one, as the epi is black and then I tried a sienna burst one I loved the way it looked and every Strat I played felt too different then my epi I went with the looker and I now love it to death and it has become my favorite guitar. so now after a year with it I guess it is time to go try out other strats and see how I made out

Of course, I have also bought some guitars just because they were so outlandish in their appearance, as long as they played well and sounded attractive to my ear.

What can I say?


Is that a Valley Arts? Damn fine lookin' guitar.
