I have a portfolio type holder so I can put pictures I want in it and then buy a inexpensive 12" x 12" calendar for the days

I gave up on finding pictures I like that will fit a 12" x 12" format so I started using some Gibson factory pictures for a background.
I'll download some Montana pictures for the newer guitars. I'll also get a Nashville picture for the L5.
Here's a couple quick looks

It's a small point, but the Gibsons in Tom's handsome group family portrait are not all "war time" Gibsons. The one on the far right is a J-45 from around 1950, and the sunburst LG in the back row is a script logo non-banner guitar, so probably 1946 or 1947.
Picky, picky, picky. It's my nature. I live by details.

I'll wait until the second half (62B) of the CSI team chimes in before I start my editing

Yeah, I know- most folk who aren't up on the clarifications that Nick provided won't know or care. . . pretty sure the intent of your composition will still hit it's mark. At times, people who are really into the subject will look at the image, and at other times they let the image take their imagination elsewhere. Ask him again and he'll probably talk about the other.
The one below it, John Thomas' LG at 225 Parsons, with the Gals below, their faces slightly out of focus, kind of abstract. . . how many of them are gone now.
And of course, Mr Paul's Nick Lucas at the wood pile. Wonderful. You have to wonder of the man rasping, block planing, filing. . . is that a mallet, lower left? Could this have been the person who fit on the neck of the Nick?

One Gal remains. She'll soon turn 97. I've arranged for a video shoot with her in the old factory this spring.

Because of the comparative drop off in power of wartime banner years, these were the only models that ever got the attention of the rural bubble the way the early Martin dreads did.

Tom - I'm guessing the one in front is the '43SJ RW... what does the 'RW' indicate? Rgds - billroy
'86 Guild D25
'90 Fender Strat (Korea, bought in an open market in Korea... yeah it might be real)
'68 Gibson SG
'17 Several 3 String CBGs
"Want people to listen to your stuff, don't play boring stuff..." heard somewhere.
