It's a nice looking site
Doug's webmaster has done a nice job.

I like the minimalist style - nice photography too ( I took the pix)  :D

The guitars themselves don't grab me - but the site does look good.

And the pics are great - you getting back into glamour photography then Jonathan? :lol:

Looks very nice and more importantly it mirrors the styling of Doug's guitars (minimalist).

I really should get my site sorted - theres a valve OD pedal for anyone interested.

The guitars really aren't my thing, but I can't beat down the urge to want to go play one...

The whole Blackmachine thing does show the importance of good marketing, including an excellent website.

Nice guitars but the site looks a bit bare at the minute! Simple and to the point though :)

Crikey the use of a MSSmartTagsPreventParsing meta tag! I've not seen one of those in ages.

Source looks nice and clean.

Beautiful site and beautiful guitars! One day I aspire to create something that aesthetically pleasing and awesome to play, heh.

Very nice work from both photographer and web designer alike, well done guys!

I don't know about Andy's comment, surely this is straight up Pron photography rather than glamour?  :lol:

By trade I am a graphic designer for traditional media: advertising, print, corporate I.D., illustration etc etc. The web coding I have recently taught myself which I create manually in NotePad. I have been endeavoring to create websites in Xhtml and CSS and make them fully compliant, mainly because there are so many browsers out there.

Thanks for the kind comments from everyone

Martin

The style of photography is very reminiscent of Ran Guitars... (http://www.ranguitars.com/gallery.php)

Not intentionally - maybe just a quirk in how to photograph guitars with limited facilities/space

I do like the vinyl backing they use , although they should take more care with reflections from the flashlight's softbox, unless that is intentional

Obviously not a problem with sati/matt finish guitars like Doug's but always an issue with shiney ones like the one's I make

Ran do also make some nice looking axes!

just checked out Ran guitars...very nice :) Except for their desktop backgrounds...last thing I'd want to see on my comp is a bunch of hair dudes with their hairy metal guitars!
