Hey people!
So, after a long, hard time of considerations, I've decided to put my fully loaded Petrucci on sale. As much as I hate to let this baby go, every time I pick it up, even though it's an absolutely amazing playing axe, I just don't connect with it that much anymore. I'm really feeling it's not the right guitar for me, in contrast to my 20th.
As I do some hobby photography now and then, I decided to take some shots today for the auction, and they turned out to be much more successful than I expected. I was really happy with the lighting and background setting, so I decided to take a few shots of my 20th Silhouette too, as well as my newest (though non-EBMM) addition, a Höfner Jazzica Custom archtop (mods, feel free to delete these if inappropriate. However, you'll find some EB content on these as well if you look closely.
). The latter one is a really amazing jazz-box, with lot's of more "modern" features that kind of remind me of EBMM's style in innovations and design, such as the tapered body depth, compensated ebony bridge, compact floating-pickup with three-way height adjustments on the side, soundhole plugs for feedback reduction, etc. As well as some oddities that make it similar to my 20th: 24 frets, 16-fret neck-to-body joint, narrow high-profile frets, Schaller hardware, and so on.
So anyways, I'm really happy with how these turned out, so I thought I'd share the little photo-shoot with you guys. Please note that there are no effects, photoshopping or otherwise. Apart from minor white balance and color adjustments, all is straight from the camera, just like I prefer.
Enjoy!
