garyelcrrt1281733995 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Don't know if this will work, but I like any excuse to post pretty pictures of pretty guitars. Since its my idea, I'll go first -- and use one most of you have already seen, just to give you a target to shoot for. Pictures should reflect originality and creativity in posing the guitar as you can handle comfortably. Pictures lifted from catalogs and crap like that will simply be ignored. First prize will be: Our appreciation. Consolation prizes: Our appreciation. Rules: 1. Post your own personal favorite picture of your guitar. 2. Wait a week to give everyone time to take a good shot. 3. Vote for your favorite picture in a poll next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyelcrrt1281733995 Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Looks rich and luxurious on that sofa fabric, too. Is that the orientation you wanted? I keep craning my neck to get the couch back vertical, but I can see a kind of "The guitar keeps me flat and level no matter what" philosophy here, but I'd like to know if its intentional. My intent in this thread was to get pictures that said something more than "This is my guitar. It is Wine Red and has 2 pickups". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biff Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Even though this one doesn't show the whole guitar, it is the picture that always makes me run for my '57 RI. I love the neck on that Junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyelcrrt1281733995 Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Lots better, KEC! And, Biff, This shot always gets me as much as a Nagel illustration. In fact, the staging and obvious effort you put into your photos really shows, and is a major reason I tried this thread. I wanted to see what the "good" photog's could do if I pushed a little bit.

charlie brown Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 So, KEC...did you get your "Gold Top" in Japan? Since it has the "Gibson" headstock, and those are for the Japanese market, only...these days. Or, did you get it from someone that specializes in Japanese guitars? Just nosey (LOL) that's all. Nice looking! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schtang Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 ok this is my entry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schtang Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 ok I am going to go with the black strat because black on black is never recommended when photographing. BUT are you after just epiphone guitars (and a lesser extent Gibson) or any brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schtang Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 On second thoughts becasue this is a Epiphone forum I will therefore submit an image of the epihone sheraton guitar as my entry. It is a composite image (it comes in two views) as are all my web photographs of my guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kec Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 So' date=' KEC...did you get your "Gold Top" in Japan? Since it has the "Gibson" headstock,and those are for the Japanese market, only...these days. Or, did you get it from someone that specializes in Japanese guitars? Just nosey (LOL) that's all. Nice looking! CB[/quote'] I got it from a guy in the U.S. that originally got it from Japan (Kantana). From what I understand, 1998 is when Gibson decided to change the Orville name to Epiphone and all of the existing "open book" headstocks were marked Epiphone. So, there was a mix of Orville and Epiphone brandings during that year. And from what I know, 1999 was the start of the "new" current headstock.
