What don't you like about Guitars?

For me it's Jazz guitar.
I really don't like the tone of those jazzboxes with their rolled back treble and floating neck humbuckers into a super clean amp.
I don't like jazz players' endless, "Look how much theory I know" widdling.
I actually like a lot of Jazz music; as long as it's played on almost anything except guitar.

I don't like the way they feel to play. Which is one reason I play bass.

And the six string thing is a bit limiting, compared to keyboards... I suppose.

Try some instrumental funk instead. That'll solve it for you.

They don't work like on the videos.

All of the above, less Vince's bass post... Though I do own a bass.

I don't like how quickly my fingers melt strings, and the brown rust that my fingers come away with after strings have been on my guitar for more than 10 days.

Fast fret? Or even an old tea towel could help immensely.

i dont like that guitars need "servicing". i really wish guitars could be setup once and stay that way forever! i hate how sensitive to moisture and temp they are. id love a guitar that never needed its action or intonation reset or nut and frets replaced. i realise of course that if you did make a guitar like that it would probably be made from solid steel and be horrible to play! so alas i realise good guitars are a bit like good girlfriends, you put up with their crap because when you play with them you forget about all the annoying stuff

I'm pretty diligent with wiping.

A sock is better

The first thinhg that springs to mind is the shape of "metal" guitars...just does nothing for me I pretty much only like Tele, Strat, LP, and of course the ES-335. That's it for shape. everything else is fine.. imho.

and I like the Dreadnaught too. How did I forget about acoustics...
