Ain't that the truth. I think Savage Riffer called this his #1. "Best guitar I've ever played. I'll definitely own another one".

Beat me to it. Wonder if they sound huge, with balls?

My first guitar in grade school was a Harmony special from Sears that was barely a real guitar…finally after a year of suffering, my folks conceded I wasn’t going to quit and surprised me with this Westone Monark they found at a local shop.
I always thought it was fugly, but oh well it played a helluva lot better than that pos Harmony.

Bought this a year or so ago, had one as my first good guitar. Purchased it new in ‘81 and sold it after a few years.
Turns out it is my actual first guitar so I restored it back to about what it used to be. Color turned out more red, but close enough. I like odd guitars.

There's the guitar abominations that some guy built in his shed. Then there's the big brands, of whom Gibson stands out for how incredibly min-maxed their designs are.
LP, Explorer, V, etc. Some of the greatest shapes of all-time.
Various mid-tier stuff that wasn't offensive yet not a hit, too many to name here.
Corvus, Futura, Moderne? Some of the worst shapes of all-time. Easily. That's not even mentioning the reverse V, reverse Firebird, etc. that made the company look like it ran out of ideas. Gibson has made a shocking number of models where your best guess is that they designed it as a joke.
I know people pick on the Norlin era, but it continues into the present day. Really bizarre company with more R&D dollars than sense when it comes to thinking outside the box.

Probably a few guitars were influenced by that shape. It is one piece mahogaby body and neck with ebony fingerboard. Cost me $650.00 with the case back in 81. Can’t believe I got it back after almost 40 years.
