Songs in the Key of Ug.
I had no frickin’ idea that the Bad Body Building Contest would strike such a chord with readers. Granted, it’s not the prettiest of chords. I think it might be the one shown here.
Seriously — in 24 hours, I received well over 100 creations. I am humbled. I am moved. I am nauseous.
I’m posting a few “favorites” as a slideshow. This is only the tip of the iceberg. (“Iceberg” may not be the best metaphor, though. Perhaps if you envision a huge floating mass made of bacon grease, My Little Pony figurines, and moldy iceberg lettuce….) There are many, many amazing ones posted here.
It’s not too late to waste otherwise productive time making ugly pictures join the fun! Here’s a list of online guitar visualization tools:
USA Custom Guitars
Fender Guitar Builder
Bailey Guitars
Frank Montag
Warmoth Body Builder
The contest runs till Sunday at midnight, Pacific Coast Time (GMT-8). Winners get announced on Monday. Post your creations to comments.
All you need to do is link to the Firebird X guitar at Gibson’s site. Instant fugly guitar! It don’t get no fugglier. After that the Zoot Suit SG and BFG is a close second and third.
The whole thing has been some seriously fantastic fun. Ha ha.
