On the opposite end of things, does anyone else wish that they would stop making guitars that are so shiny they look like plastic? Modern finishes are just too much. They look really cheap.
Or how about guitars that are only available with rosewood fretboards? I've got enough rosewood fretboard guitars, thank you very much. More maple please.

yeah super shiny is no good
the same thing happened with cars
the colors in the 60s were so much richer and alive
now black dont look so black with that candy coat, its like a mirror
i dont think shiny should go away,but satin needs to come back

We need more body shapes that aren't derivatives of something made 50 years ago. Or super pointy GRIMDARK METULZ.
Truss rod adjustment at the heel of the neck, but without that slot thing so you HAVE to take the neck off. FUCK YOU
Squier releasing the only interesting guitars.

the trend of only putting jaguar/jazz trems on jag/jazz
i know some dudes mod teles and junk, but that should be standard. imagine somethin like a Les Paul with a jag/jazz trem.

wow, you guys sure are stuck on finishes.
i thought y'all would have a beef with how the industry is so focused on metal guitars that are just kinda fueling an industry based on image emulation and uncreativity and other junk like that
