To the guest who thinks Bo's guitar is ugly:

How many guitars have you made and played? If you've done better with your self built geetars, send us a link to a picture of your workmanship and by all means give us some information about your accomplishments.

I think Bo's guitar did what it was meant to do. It apparently worked well enough as the instrument he needed for stage, but it also, and perhaps more importantly, served as an identifying visual. Having that distinctive look set him apart and gave him a leg up on many others whose guitars weren't as memorable. I believe he knew this and knew of the importance of having a strong visual image to match his unique sound.
