Dread I gotta see a picture of your Flying V. If it's not possible I'll trust your judgement, let me know, I'm thinking it's probably "equally hideous". Which one would you be prouder to own assuming it'd be the uglier of the two? :?:

I thought the sparkly D25 was kinda cool !! But then again I liked the orange crushed velour on the inside of my Ovations case too....

I have to vote for the flying V... the Guild is hideous, but if they were both refinished, at least the Guild would look like a guitar. :lol:

+1. Gotta agree with AJ on this one. Underneath the Black Sparkle is a lovable Guild Dread'. Underneath the Red...............meh.

I kind of like the sparkle. After all, if it were on a solid body it could be the centerpiece for an 80's band. The Flying V is just wrong and the finish won't change that, IMO.

Maybe Takamine should have called this one the "Flaming A" instead of "Flying A" :lol:

The flying V is absurd :lol: :lol:

but the black sparkly D25 nearly pegs my ugly meter.

Only uglier guitar I've ever seen is Taylor Swift's silver gliter sparkle Taylor.

In my younger days, I would have liked that black sparkle, although preferably on a solid body electric. The Flying V, nah...

Humm - looks like one of those carbon-graphite guitars - one that hasn't been given a fake wood effect :shock: Must say I prefer it to the flying V though :mrgreen:
