That guitar looks alright, finish is a personal thing.

12 strings sound great.

I’m rubbish at the guitar, but I lover listening. I’ve loved this since I first heard it:

And no, I don’t think your new guitar is ugly. Especially if it sounds beautiful

I would not buy it from the look but I will still admire someone playing any 12 string or any guitar well.

Enjoy!

I know a few “guitarist” jokes too

Let’s hear ’em them

ok, but I warn you, they’re not great…

Q how many guitarists does it take to change a lightbulb?
A none – they get their technician to do it

Q how does a guitarist change a lightbulb if his technician is otherwise engaged?
A he just holds it still while the world revolves around him

Drummer jokes:

Q what do you call someone who hangs out with musicians?
A A drummer

A bloke goes into a shop and says “I’d like to buy a guitar”. Shop owner says “You’re a drummer, aren’t you?”
“Yes, how did you guess?”
“This is a chip shop”

With the exception of Mr Grohl, how many guitarists can play drums? Properly?

My brother-in-law. He’s a drummer but sings and plays rythmn with his excellent cover band.
