Do all green guitars look bad? Good examples?

For guitars of the straight waisted variety (or reverse offset).

I love the color green, and most green guitars.

These are two of mine, with the Jaguar being my #1.

I think this pic is a pretty definitive answer. Green is an amazing color for guitars, especially for offsets. And these two are absolutely stunning. My dream guitar is a Jazzmaster that is the same green as that Jag. :? :? :?

Is the jag a custom shop? Where did either of these come from actually?
Crafted in the forges of Mount Olympus, my Jaguar was delivered by twelve bald eagles in 2008-- or maybe it was the Fender Custom Shop. Not sure.

Mustang is a parts build. Vintage body, new neck, painted at MJT, and put together by a local-ish guy.

Definitely one of the nicest looking guitars I've ever seen. I need some of those Olympus wares.

I really like green guitars. Gretsch's Cadillac green, Gibson's Inverness Green, Fender's Surf green, Ocean Turquoise and Sherwood Green, they all look good to me.

I was not sure when I ordered my Sherwood green CS Jazzmaster, but the color have grown on me since I own it. It's the same Sherwood green as Jaguar018 CS Jaguar.

Green guitars are the best...with a few notable exceptions like the green burst.

I tend to gravitate away from green guitars but a nicely aged Ocean Turquoise that's basically gone green is a thing of beauty. And heavily aged Daphne too.

I guess I actually like teal/aquamarine based shades. Which is neither green nor blue

Greenburst is the only good colour for a Burns double six.

Big fan of Novo Guitars' firmest green (even if the guitars don't appeal too much). I'm trying to think of the best way to get a couple matched spray bombs mixed up for me as I'd love to do my Jazzmaster in this colour. Only have photos to go by though...

Been considering this Harley Benton

also this one but very dependant on how bright the green is in person(i don't want it to look radioactive)

And this SG is straight up one of the best guitars ive ever seen:

Green is a color that has always been threatened by misfortune or inappropriateness, but when I saw this guitar my heart leapt:

Ugly is in the eye of the beholder but I like this one.

I realize it’s not for everyone, but that’s a big part of why I like it.
