Dunno. Not inherently undignified in that I could see a hard rock guitarist donning this and it being par for the course if not a conversation starter. Would definitely clash with the norms of indie rock/shoegaze/"post-hardcore"/noise rock/math rock/etc. But someone wearing a black leather/pleather vest over a white button up shirt, or no shirt at all, and playing tunes in the vein of The Cult or AC/DC or Monster Magnet or High on Fire could make it work.

I think Jackson really missed the boat by not calling this model the Prick. BC Rich would have.

This one is called the ESP Devil Girl. Even Kerry King finds it grotesque.

We're headed for social anarchy when people start pissing on bookstores.

I like that one too. Looks pretty neat honestly.

I'll withhold my opinion until seeing how pointy, angled, and ugly the headstock is.

But nothing will top that Homer Simpson-designed guitar/harp thing.

The tail that continues from the body into an inlay is a cool detail, although at a glance it looks less like a deviltail shooting fireballs and more like something else blasting something else. Which itself is fine, although it seems like a disconnect for the kind of player who otherwise wants to assert a love for women vis a vis the rest of the design.

Not the ugliest bass on the planet, was more just laughing at them obviously trying to incorporate 2 of the most popular bass designs into one hamfisted idea.

Here's the headstock:

Ahh OK, that makes sense.
I mean, Fender has that whole Parallel Universe line of "unholy marriage" instruments now. Maybe my threshold for "ugly" has been raised so high by all the airbrushed / relief-carved abortions from the old forum that this sort of thing no longer registers.

I'd play that bass. I bet the pickups sound like ducks coughing though.
