Post one you dig and one you think is gaudy.

Well, one's investment grade firewood.
$15K+ if you find the right doctor or lawyer who needs a dick extender.

PRS has some amazing looking guitars IMO but they also get the nod for creating some of the worst Color scheme and gaudy abominations too

I completely agree with your assessment on both of those.

I love PRS, especially the 594. However, that one is a hard NO for me. Without the Tiger carving, I am in.

It's all about the execution.

Glitter Gretsch hollowbody? Nice.

Abalone-inlay everywhere Korean guitars from the 2000s? Hell no!

I bought this for my first TV appearance.

I don't dig many really, but I'm with laxu, appropriate on a Gretsch.

But this, yikes.

For the most part I don’t like bling. Often the fancier looking materials are not the best sounding.
