ThePretender Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The guys at the music store here are very nice and about to renew their annual Gibson commitment. I'll ask them if they can get a poster which I can mail to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars68 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I suggest you search the web for a photo you like, ask the owner for permission to use it, and then e-mail the picture to one of the many firms doing prints from digital images.

EuroAussie Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Now thats a good idea Lars. I work in an advertising agency so reproducing a good quality file and then print it is no issue. Or maybe one of you folks who have vintage J-200's could send me a high quality pic so i can drool over it all day in the office ... :-) I quite like this pic but its too small, mabye i could ask the author for the original file to purchase ? http://fineartamerica.com/products/vintage-fingerpicking-steven-digman-acrylic-print.html I suggest you search the web for a photo you like, ask the owner for permission to use it, and then e-mail the picture to one of the many firms doing prints from digital images.

Danner Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Just FYI, the Gibson.com website has some hi-res TIFF files of their product shots. You could print them really big and still have good detail. Here's a LINK to help you find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParlourMan Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I will happily take a pile of pics of the SJ-200, EA... The camera is a Sony 10mp job, so I'll set everything to maximum and see what I can get quality wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Actually I was thinking of you PM, would be great.

J-1854Me Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 In 1995, I bought my first J-200, a koa version, from Elderly Instruments in Michigan. As it happened, that very guitar was featured on the back page of their current catalog, along with three other J-200s. A few years later, I contacted Elderly, and they were kind enough to send me the slide (that's what they used back then....) of that image, which I then took to a photofinisher, and had enlarged and printed to 24" x 36" size. I framed that, and still have it on my wall, although the guitar is long gone, sold to a friend. Nowadays, it's painfully easy to find an image like that, that you like, and have it printed out. I would get this sort of thing done up by our graphics department, and presto -- instant poster-size image! Just don't forget the drool cloth bib!

EuroAussie Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 Thank you, but actually im looking for some J-200 character shots, meaning with some surroundings rather than just pure product shot. cheers !

Great resource for photos and I even went to the main press site and downloaded a photo of a Les Paul that looks like mine, as well as the J 45.
