Photography tips for guitars?

[Spudmurphy]

Thanks for the compliments.
It was huge gamble for me buying unseen.
It was after reading the comments on this this forum that tipped the balance.

I hadn't played for a long time - got a pod xt which rekindled my interest.

i was after another guitar (mid life crisis) and was going to get a Strat, then I was going to get a Nashville Tele with a b bender after re discovering Albert Lee!!

Then I fell in love with the guitar and the tone after watching a tutorial on DVD.

The next thing was weighing up the options
Piezo or not
Matching headstock or not
SSS or MM90's
Honeyburst or ????/
then I saw the AL in the first posting on the picture thread, and when Beth said that it was one of her favourites that was it 4 me !! ... I bet she says that to all the boys ha!

I'm pleased with it, - getting to know it - I play it ALL the time my others don't get a look in !!!

I think a tripod is a must------when trying to take pix of my new Luke with my digital cam---I found it very hard to get shots in focus without a tripod cause I was using a slow shutter with no flash.

Yes, I agree. I tripod is a must. You must be able to go after the guitar if it runs away, spooked from the flash...

It's ok though if you keep it on the lead
( Now UK'ers would get that, but USA = leash? )

You say it with such conviction... I'm thinking you believe this.
