Couple of recent pics to share....
« on: January 26, 2007, 04:36:06 AM »
No metal guitars just 'ol fashioned rockers. Steve, I think you and twinfan might be the only ones interested but I thought I might share anyway :lol:  :lol:  :lol:


heres my other guits



Anybody with ideas on how to compress photos better than this please help.

These started out as 2.2mb images off of a 6.1 megapixel camera. They looked great. Compressed down to 791k they are now absolute rubbish.

I noticed some peopels photos look fantastic but these look grainy and horrible. :evil:

l JP, I am  fan of the "traditional" electric guitars and they look great.A mate of mine had an identical LP many years ago. You just need to add a Tele.

Yeah the sunburst on that maple-neck strat is the most beautiful sunburst i've ever seen on a strat - what do they call it?
I'd love a go with your gear!
LOVING the Mules!

Yep, very nice stuff.  Those Strats look great.  I must get some pics of my collection done.

Oh, and you definitely need a Tele  ;)

Very nice indeed !

As a fellow vintage guitar affectionado, I admire your collection. I have a maple neck Strat that looks like yours ( a MIJ '57 re-issue) and my other 3 guitars were cosmetically chosen and later wired to get that retro vibe. I wish I had your Bassman !

Twinfan is right, you do need a Telecaster - be warned though, they are very addictive ...

Is it a sienna sunburst?  

Lovely guitar, but what happened with the scratchplate screws?

Its actually the Ash body Tobacco sunburst.

I have changed the Pickguard to a aged white from the standard mint green.

Here is a link to a picture of a rosewood board of the same colour on Fenders website.

http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0101400752

The first person to stick their hand in the air and tell me that they are the same colour is SCREAMING LIAR.
Its really grown on me and I do like it now but It really needed a different colour guard and a set of slowhands are on their way.

I would have ordered them but the amp cam up last week and i had to grab it.

It's not the same colour.  Their "tobacco sunburst" picture looks more like the modern version of the 3-colour sunburst.

Then again, looking at the sienna sunbursts like this one, yours is obviously a darker colour.

So it looks like Fender can't illustrate their own colours properly!  :roll:

Thinking about it, Fender have actually chosen some very Gibson-like colours for the Deluxe series - tobacco sunburst on your Strat, and I've got an aged cherry sunburst Tele.
