I don’t normally like _________, but I’ll make an exception for this guitar.

[Beakertwang]

There are features I usually don’t usually like about guitars, but once in a while, a certain guitar causes GAS, despite my usual preferences.

For example:
I don’t normally like pointy guitars, but I’ll make an exception for a Gibson Explorer, particularly in cherry.


How about you?

I can agree. This one pops the high E after a bit of "bending" , if you get the idea , I believe you may . I may put Graphtech saddles on it . I love this thing , oh yes I do I wasn't sure what I might think or like about it , prior to obtaining such a thing. I'm quite glad I did obtain it , oh yes I am ... I play it so much , I break strings ... lol graphtech , soon I shopped the trem on , just for a laugh

I normally don't like Rickenbackers because of the finished fretboards, but this one has such light finish on the board that I can't even feel it:

 

[milli vanilli]

Gibson SG. But I found one that plays and sounds so good it is now my #1 guitar. Guess that's my reward for looking past the aesthetics (I don't care for the look of sgs).

I don't really love LPs, and I just cannot like Floyd Roses. But dang, mix the two and I think the combo is very cool.

I don't have any dislike as such for Martin, I just don't feel drawn to them to the point of buying one. The one exception is the Alternative X Bigsby.

I tried the non-Bigsby version in a store and quite liked the sound and feel, but I didn't even know the Bigsby version was available til later.

I had no idea this was a thing!

Green guitars, but this is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen...owned by @John Hurtt



Here's John's thread on it, with more pics

I was looking for an alternative Les Paul and ran across this at GC, and bought one:

I don’t normally like ESP (I’m more of a traditional LP guy), but this one seemed to have everything I was looking for.

My tastes in both electric and acoustic are very conservative, I don't like bling, carved tops, fancy timber, gold hardware etc. However I would really like an original of one of these:

PRS, but:

 

[USMarine75]

Not a Dweezil Zappa fan, but I sure do love his guitars (I bought two lol).

 

[theruley]

I normally hate any guitar with any sort ov vibrato bridge on it...floyds, bigsbys, fender-style, etc.

But the ibanez jem is so freaking cool to me that I would look past its floating bridge.

I don't normally like Jaguars, but I'll make an exception for ..... wait... no, no I won't.

I never liked Flying V's, but recently something has happened where I'm GASing hard for a Korina Flying V, complete with Gold Hardware, which I've also always hated. I don't know what the deal is. I genuinely never liked them and just woke up about 6 months ago realizing it will be my next axe.

I think this may have had something to do with it....

This belongs to the guitarist in "Bleak Horizon" and it sparked a dormant fire for the Flying V I did not know I possessed.

Of all the interesting shapes, the Gibson Moderne has grown on me in a weird way. Typically im more of a traditional guy and prefer a good LP over anything else. Although I would probably go a boutique builder route with SS frets one of these days.

 

[Astronaut FX]

I don’t normally like signature guitars, but wouldn’t mind a Jeff Tweedy Gibson SG or a Billy Duffy Gretsch.

 

[Beakertwang]

I don’t normally like hot pink shredders, Floyd Rose bridges, pointy headstocks, or heavy relics, but this Suhr has seduced me.

 

[buzzp]

To piggy back off of the standard dislike for shredders, that new John Mayer Charvel signature model is really nice.

 

[TheNewWhatNext]

I normally cannot stand Superstrats but... this one really tickles my fancy.

Maybe it's the nice chunky hardtail, or the austere black aesthetics - I don't know. I just like it.
