And an honorable mention, sorry, feet not included but it is a Guild.

Here's a free tip I'll pass on from the 2 year commercial photo program I graduated from when there were still darkrooms; When your subject is roughly 5% of your image size, move in a little, and also zoom in a little ;]

Check out the Sunburst, there's a bit more on the left than on the right. It's the way it got taped off on the bottom. Never seen that before. Would it be visible to the naked eye?

And then this, how old is this picture? From last summer? So, he's obviously been trying to sell the guitar for a while. Like people with pictures of cars in snow in midsummer. Another free tip; take a new picture ;] Your old one makes people suspicious.

But a most enchanting backyard, I like it, you can hide in the trees.

I've never seen that before either. When I visited the Fender Custom Shop and G&L Guitars, all the finishing guys were spraying bursts freehand. No taped off areas. They were really skilled!

Exactly! You usually don't tape off guitars when spraying a burst. Regarding the other guitar, I'd like to see other pictures of that very guitar, I'm sure it's a visual effect due to the runout of the top. Anyway, here's an example from the Fender Custom Shop how they do bursts. Fascinating to me, there are many other videos from them. To bad it's in portrait mode...
Sorry for the "no foot" veer!

The Mutron is pretty cool. I miss mine, but only so much. The chrome volume pedal is a Fender. Looks like someone had a fascination for volume pedals. All mine are gone now. Never really wanted the Ibanez multi effects, those were for guys who didn't already have every pedal under the sun ;]

An excellent veer! He is not even wearing gloves - an artist!

Quick question, then back to the feet - what is the "waterfall" behind him?

Keeps the paint from contaminating the atmosphere.

Here's all you want to know from the manufacturer of the Fender spraybooth: (I like how that page shows: "Read time: 5 minutes"!)

They also designed the robotic one for Fender:

To be fair: the seller also included this picture here:

I don't know what exactly the intention is with the upside down/ugly shoe picture, it seems obsolete somehow after this one 😅

Yes, the Mu-Tron would be nice to have! But he sells them only in the bunch, asking price is crazy 1500 CHF (1670 USD as of today).

I like how the funny sock foot is bracing the case so the pointy guitar doesn't slip during the photography session. :ROFLMAO:
