The Top Five Worst Guitar Paint Jobs Ever
Mark from Guitar Nerds is back with another top-five countdown. This time, he’s looking at the five worst guitar paint jobs of all time.

But the list also includes over-the-top designs from a street artist, and graphic finishes that were most likely dreamed up by clueless marketing executives.
Take a look, and let us know if you can think of anything else that should have made the list.
