The Best Guitar Photo

[Robert]

Not that I really have one... but can we in this thread post the best guitar photo you have ever seen.

Should be an inspiring thread.

My Hagstrom Viking:

If you meant the best photo we've taken then I'll submit this one. I like how it came out for a cheap point and shoot.

Hey Robert, is this open to any picture we've seen, or ones we've taken ourselves?

If it's the latter then, I hope you'll indulge my shameless self promotion and offer the following selection of my work...

This one has a person in it too, but I still like it as a guitar "action" shot....

Drooling over the Mastersound Deluxe!

[Ch0jin]

Drooling over the Mastersound Deluxe!

Yeah, I'm one of those annoying guys with gear worth way more than my talent would suggest appropriate.

Two of the most expensive Australian made electrics you can buy right there, short of custom stuff of course. I bought the Deluxe new, and got the BB1200 2nd hand (Who turns down a $4000 axe when someone says they'll take $1500 for it so the wife doesn't get it in a divorce? Not me!)

Even cooler, from a collectability point of view is that Maton no longer offer the Seymour Duncan pickup option, and they have revised the headstock logo, therefore instantly making mine slightly more rare. ;)

That head and cab in the background, made in Oz in the 1960's is one of two I've ever seen, and the other one is in blonde tolex. Being that it could well be the only one in the world left standing, it could potentially be worth a few bucks.

[stingx]

Very cool gear.

[Tig]

Excellent work, Ch0jin!
I love the depth of field in the first shot, and the Mastersound.

[Robert]

The rules are - ANY picture that is AWESOME!

It doesn't matter if you took it yourself or not.

Not the best I've ever seen of course ;)

Chojin...everytime I see those Maton's, my heart aches. Nice Shots.

Fretboard Journal is the Nat'l Geo. of guitar porn, wish they posted everything online, but that's why it costs so damn much as a subscription.

this is the best photo I've taken, something about the light. I always get a good response...

Good lord, did they bring those up when they raised the Bismark? I dig a guitar with some vintage mojo, but those are kind of nasty.

[Tig]

I recognize those from a local Guitar store, Rockin' Robin's!

Wow, my first guess as to the origins of those guitars would have been flood victims...

That's a very cool photo for some reason. I think the sunlight really makes it.

Yep, I like how the light hits just part of the guitar and kitteh, and that it is from the side.

Is this one better???

http://s795.photobucket.com/albums/yy235/pugdoyle/?action=view&current=Gretsch6120RHHfullview.jpg

[bcdon]

Nope. But this is. Make sure you remove the 'action...' from the url. For example your url was "...albums/yy235/pugdoyle/?action=view¤t=Gretsch6120RHHfullview.jpg" just remove the "?action=view¤t="
part and place inside "xxx" tags.

Don what the heck am I doing wrong???

[bcdon]

Don what the heck am I doing wrong???

The best thing to do is use the chrome (https://www.google.com/chrome) browser. Then, right-click on the image (or ctrl-click on a Mac) and select "Copy Image URL" That is the link to the photo. All you have to do is paste it into the 'insert image' link (looks like a tree in the edit window) or simply enclose that URL between "the-url-you-copied" and you'll be all set. I always test to see if I have the proper link by pasting the URL into the browser address. If you do this and see a picture you are In Like Flint!

I'm using photobucket. How can I do it from there?

[Tig]

The best thing to do is use the chrome (https://www.google.com/chrome) browser. Then, right-click on the image (or ctrl-click on a Mac) and select "Copy Image URL" That is the link to the photo.

Or in Firefox, right-click the photo, select "Copy Image Location" in the pop-up menu, and follow the rest of bcdon's instructions.

[bcdon]

I'm using photobucket. How can I do it from there?

Go here: http://s795.photobucket.com/albums/yy235/pugdoyle/
Move your mouse over the picture you like and click "Direct Link" it will display "copied" next
paste that image into the 'insert image' link icon in the message editor here at the fret (it is the 3rd icon from the rigth). Give it a try.

[riverrick]

OK here it is....did it work. I thought that's what I did before? I can see that didnt work....maybe this one...UGH!!!

Nice guitar and amp combo!
Did the Gretsch come with the clear pick guard or did you install it? I like seeing the guitar body while still having a guard.

[riverrick]

Thanks Tig. Yes it came with it. It's a Rev. Horton Heat Model.

[FrankenFretter]

Nice Gretsch, Rick. Good photo, too!
