I hate the look of a cutaway


This is a hit or miss with me.

I like a satin "matte" finish as opposed to a gloss.


For the most part, I agree with you, but some guitars pop with the right glossy - and it needs to be the right color, too (Strats and SGs notably).

On electrics, I dig the look of triple humbuckers.

Angular looks on guitar are hit and miss with me, as well - I'm not a particular fan of the Flying Vee for example, but I do like the Explorer/Destroyer looks from the early 80s.

Definitely, I have an Martin and a Partcaster that are glossy that is great, I just prefer to "feel the wood."

Most electrics look better with a gloss finish though.

I'm actually have a dreadnought custom built with a matte finish and a slotted headstock, solid rosewood back and sides which is what led to me to think about these things.

Really excited to see how it turns out.
