Updates and Extras!

[designermike]

Just following up with everyone to let you all know that we've set up a new sub-category on the Extras page for iPhone/iPod Touch wallpapers. If you're interested in downloading them I've got some detailed instructions below. The models listed on the page are:

 

2008 Les Paul Standard (Heritage Cherry)

SG Standard (Heritage Cherry)

Explorer Pro (Ebony)

Hummingbird True Vintage

Jimmy Page Custom Double Neck

Flying V (Ebony)

The Traditional Gibson Headstock (with a blue glow around it)

The Headstock from the Jimmy Page Signature Les Paul Custom

 

Of course there are more to come, we're working on both more desktop wallpapers and more iPhone/iPod Touch wallpapers, but that's not all. As I've said before, we've got some great ideas for this page, so we're working on getting it filled with all manner of cool downloads. Of course your suggestions so far are greatly appreciated, so I should be saying thanks for some of the great ideas, and keep 'em coming!
