Thanks walrus - trying to put up as much photo documentation as I'd
want to see in a better guitar-buying-and-selling world - as if!:wink:

Yes, great photos, and a great looking guitar!

It's not that people don't make the effort to take good photos (well, yes, many don't!) as they simply can't. It looks like you've practically got a regular photo studio at your disposal -- neutral background, great lighting, a camera capable of taking sharp images, etc.

What's your set-up like?

What, and reveal my guitar-imaging secrets, to the whole world!?
NEVER!!!

Oh... ok. Don't laugh!
Camera is a several-years-old Canon EOS Rebel T5i, standard lens.
I'll hang paper on the sides of the setup if needed - either white or gray - otherwise I
hand-hold a large piece of cardboard to diffuse light or diminish glare.
Thus far I've found maple / light-colored woods are easier to photograph than dark woods.

Nice!

Me, I'd have a hard time finding that much empty space in my house -- it's all clogged up with guitars.

I'd have to sell a bunch of guitars in order to make enough room to take photos of the guitars I want to sell.

Based on your description I was very surprised to see such a good looking guitar....Great deal. If I didn't already have one!

Great photos! Great price! That action is indeed low. The saddle would not be higher if the action is raised to “normal” .80-.90 height, leaving room to adjust lower down the road. Neck angle is not optimal but not bad. This is a good deal.

Ha! Well - that area in the photo is still being remodeled - and I'm still dealing with the
trauma of pre-remodel excavation of stuff - and that's the only reason there's clear wall space :biggrin-new:

Thanks for the comments, gentlemen.

Sale pending.

Sale pending.

I'll reopen if it falls through but since I was considering moving the "How to photograph" discussion elsewhere, this is easier for me.

 

[Bonneville88]

Sold elsewhere.
