My acoustic is an Ovation Balladeer. I wouldn't say I love it (I still have yet to find an acoustic with a neck that actually feels good), but I certainly don't hate it, and most people hate Ovations.

I'm learning to love my Mockingbird again too, now that I modded it enough to hold my interest for a while. It's not a great player, but not a terrible one either. I've just had it around so long now that I can't see ever getting rid of it. It still needs a decent nut, though, and I think there's something wrong with the truss rod.

JagStang! Gigged it solidly for about 8 years, I love this guitar.

It's huge and it's daft, but I'd wanted one for years and I love it.

Always gets a mixed response, from WTF is that to the best thing ever.

I must be a fan of unpopular guitars... I love firebirds and mockingbirds (ideally the 70s natural wooden sandwich - the pointy headstock is a bit wrong) and don't hate the jagstangs (never played one though).

My ovation tornado. I don't know if anyone actively hates it, but I've praised this guitar all over for years and no one else on here ever bought one so I guess it qualifies.

Haha probably all my guitars. None of them have any kind of quirky charm...

Nick, your cat is a badass (and the guitar's not bad, either).
