NGD: 2013 R8 in Kindred Burst Fade (Perry burst)

GO STRAIGHT TO http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/topic/116433-working-photos-version-ngd-2013-r8-in-kindred-burst-fade/ PLEASE AS THIS THREAD BECAME A PHOTOBUCKET WORKSHOP!!

 

After a lot of deliberating over specs and various beautiful tops I decided that darkburst is where its at. This beauty arrived from Thomann today.

 

Its more of a dark cherry/ burgundy up close (like a proper darkburst would have been) but tends to look very dark/ black in photos...almost Slash signature like. Its apparently a handpicked, lightly figured top and they only made 23 R8s in kindred burst fade in 2013. Its designed to emulate the Perry/ Slash guitar. I think that guitar probably looked something like this before all the fading and ageing took place.

 

Plays great. A hair under 9lbs.

 

Ok it appears photobucket isn't allowed so I cant post images!

You should be able to use Photobucket...

 

Just copy the IMG link it gives you in your post.

The "Direct" links are above. Still not working it seems! Weird. Photos are working fine on MyLesPaul.

 

Hello!

 

I know. You have to click on the IMG-code multiple times until the field turns yellow and says "Copied..."

 

Beautiful guitar! Congratulations!

 

Cheers... Bence

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. As it happens, you can right click on the direct links above and it'll open the photo in a new tab. Bit of a hassle, sorry. Not sure why they won't embed this time.

No it's not that simple for me either. Something about Photobucket made things harder, but you can do it...

 

I get the same exact thing. When I click the direct link this is what I get:

 

http://i203.photobuc...d4.jpg~original

 

While the "Insert image" window is still open you have to delete the "~original" (using the backspace button) off the end of the file name, that Photobucket has more recently begun to add onto the end of the image files after you upload them, in the "direct" link before you complete the image insert by clicking the button under the url field in the little insert image window that opens up...

 

Get the Photobucket "direct" link,

Open the little "Insert image" window by clicking the icon above the post field in the toolbar,

right click (or use Ctrl-V) and paste the link in the url field over-writing the highlighted "http://" that is auto-generated in the url field,

becore completing the insert hit the backspace button and delete the "~original" off the end of the url,

click the Insert Image button beneath the url field in the little insert image option window,

 

That should be it...
