Not sure which is worse - it's like the evil of two lessers....

Warwick Reverso (Adam Clayton) ~ $5k+

Ibanez Fireman (Paul Gilbert) ~ $6k+

Don't forget these!

The Jimi Hendrix Tribute Stratocaster, with reverse decal:

This insane Gibson 'Guitar of the month' Reverse Explorer ($3k):

The 1996 Squier Supersonic:

And the mother of them all, the non-reverse Gibson Firebird:

The reverse decal Strat would get my vote. What in the name of God possessed Fender to make a lefthanded guitar that only right handed people could play, and which only looked like it should when the owner was standing in front of a mirror? And then ask them to pay over £1300 (UK price) for the privilege??? :shock:

Absolutely insane.

The Gibsons are especially frustrating considering how difficult it is to get ahold of a Gibson lefty, yet there they are using them to make more righties. I have to say though that nonreverse firebirds look pretty nice (rather than most of the others that just look gimmicky).

p.s. that supersonic is pretty slick looking too.

I like non-reverse Firebird/Thunderbird looks better than the reverse models actually! :P I don't know the difference in sound but I imagine it's quite different being they don't have neck-through-body construction.

I like the Supersonic too - cheap, cool finishes and fun to play. Remember it came out in the 1990s and has a very specific inspiration: Kurt Cobain.

Reversed Explorers get my vote. IMO the worst looking shape out there, period. I am a big fan of non-reverse T-birds, though. I like them better, in fact.

And that Jimi Tribute is pretty ironic, if you ask me. And lame.

Also, the Ibanez Fireman would be really sweet if it didn't have such a lame headstock.
