Well, I started out writing a reply and halfway had to reconsider. Because there is no absolute and given in my case it usually involves a PRS of some sort, looks are aways at least OK. I do not buy guitars I do not like visually. Looks are not a qualifier, but a disqualifier. If it is ugly or I do not find it visually attractive, I will not buy it. PRS DC shape looks pleasing to me, so that helps.
So it is a toss up between sound and playability for the number one position and here's the fun: I had great looking guitars, that were fun to play, but I did not jive with the sound, so they did not get air time.
That brings me to the same list Les has: tone over playability and looks, where looks and playability are disqualifiers, tone is the qualifier.
