The Sexiest Guitars of NAMM 2017

For the last few years, I chronicled my favorite guitars of NAMM. Every year I walk the NAMM show floor and marvel at the gorgeous artwork that some of these guitars happen to be.

While GearGods likes to cover the more technical aspects of the convention (head on over for 300 videos featuring product demos, announcements and performances), I prefer to make a list every year of the sexiest guitars. These are being judged purely for aesthetic purposes, and not for their playing ability. Without further ado…

Whatever the hell this guitar is…
