I took up a challenge to try and improve my guitar photography.
(especially to show the sparkly bits)

MikeM

Oh man that second pic looks COOL!!

@ Wizard, my grass is a lot greener ? How has the rain been in the cape? In JHB I have hardly watered my garden in 2 months, it rains everyday like clockwork.

Seriously your guitar pics are looking good. The colour of the Cort is amazing.
And the sparkly bits....

Good stuff ?

inflames

Very nice pics!

The grass always looks greener on the other side ?

Nice work with the photographs. It's really not hard once you know how, so it always makes me sad when people show their amazing kit in awful, flash-lit, funny-angle, cluttered style. "The pictures don't do it justice..." ☹

There is actually a radical difference between these pics of the M200 and the one I posted originally.
MikeM prodded me to improve them and gave some good pointers.

... in the sunshine ... on the grass; between 07h00 and 08h00 ...

MikeM

And we can all say it looks incredible ? Seriously I can't get over the difference lol!

Just bought a Hamer DA-3 on gumtree; after taking council from our venerable resident guru.
Intention is to disassemble it and rebuild it around the new body I'm making ... thus (hopefully) figuring out firsthand how a strat hangs together.

Cost R 780.
A brief lookup shows it was made in Indonesia in about 1996.
I was expecting cheap & nasty ... but it plays really nicely and sounds good !!

Quirks are:
- rather unattractive "SLAMMER" on the headstock
- missing button on the selector switch (seller whipped it off to put on another guitar)
- bridge pickup is a trifle bright on its own
- tuners have rather sharp edges

Wizard

Wizard thinks out loud: "I seem to have liked all the guitars I've played since I got my new amplifier ... mmm"

Wizard

Just bought a BlackStar HT-5 from Mojo !!

Sounds & looks really great from what I've seen so far.

Also had the opportunity of experiencing Joe's great collection.
And the pleasure of meeting Joe - what a great guy!
