I somehow find Ric basses and Thunderbirds in this category but like... They're so weird, clunky and ugly that I absolutely adore the look of both
There's nothing elegant about them but they're just weirdly gorgeous in an ugly way

but maybe i'm just missing it?

just say "No" to Comic Sans. That goes for you too, Xotic Effects.
Also, a buddy of mine who owned a Parker says that it played and sounded amazing, but i can't get into the look.

Oh god that Echodrive is heinous. Reminds me of Xotic, another huge stinker. As someone who teaches typography, I'm consistently boggled by the human desire to use Comic Sans. Yes, I can tell them not to, but I'd like to know what compels them to use it in the first place, because it seems to be everyone. Anyway, Xotic Boosters: hideous.
Those Thorpy FX monstrosities deserve some attention as well. Beyond the bad looks, "Muffroom Cloud" sounds like a speech impediment.
Also I kinda love Parker Flys a little...
