OK, so I got a little carried away today and decided to photograph a few guitars, amps, etc and redo my gallery. It got a little bigger than I had originally intended so I decided to stop while the system still had room for everyone else to post some of their own favorites.

Hope everyone enjoys it!

You need to PayPal some more $$ to Miles. :)

Some serious fun could be had at your place ... Especially if you could get Ozzy to show up.

stephen,
oh my god, is this what i have gotten myself into?
Those pics rock. I lost count of the "oh, Wow"'s that I uttered somewhere after the Dingwall.

I have not figured out how to make my pictures small enough to upload into gallery yet. I have them on a kodak cd that I ordered with the actual prints (and transferred them to my computer). Do you know if there Is (and which) software I can use to compress the photos or another way to make them small enough to fit gallery limit?

keep on keeping on, mike

Mike,
You need some type of photo editing software. There are several available. I use Photoshop (expensive)but I am a professional photojournalist. You could try Corel Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop Lite or Deluxe. Most programs have a trial or demo version you can try before you buy. Do a Google for Photo Software. Your images should be between 50 and 150 KB for web use. I could go on but it gets kinda confusing after this. If I can help further just let me know.

Well, All I can say is that's a sh*t load of guitars. I'll make sure I bookmark this to show the wife when the "need" arises. Great collection, but I see one glaring absence - No Storms! Talk to me, man !!! Hey, you said you wanted to visit and check out my collection some time. Don't bother - you'd be bored! Great work putting together the gallery. Send a link to your insurance company!

Paintshop Pro is a nice Photoshop-alike for not a lot of cash.

Nice collection, T!

It's easy to tell by these great pictures who's the boss in your house. :)

Thanks everybody. Glad you liked the exhibit.

Fugot, I guess you will have to just come over sometime to try them out in person. Pics don't do some of them justice.

Thanks Tony, BluesSailor, and Schroeder - you bring the booze and I'll equip the band.

Woody....wondering who would catch that first! Just don't come over and light any matches :D

Dave - how can you compare my piddling collection to that awesome set of guitars you have!!! You have sold more than I will ever own. About that Storm....needs to have a vibrato and has to wait until I take care of a little commitment to W2 :) and an even bigger misunderstanding with the IRS :mad: You got one, save it for me! I will be in Phoenix soon.

Bentman and Cruster - You guys are both correct! The wife is the boss and she does let me have the guitars. Bear in mind tho, that everything I get to buy costs me double.....$1000 for the guitar :cool: ....$1000 for the wife's shopping :( etc., etc., etc.

George - no contest here. I get blown away by the likes of Tony, Dave, Miles, and many others. Most of the guitars in those pics were all bought at unbelievably low prices. Only a few were big ticket items.

Stonebobbo - your setup is not to shabby either! I love all the size you have to operate in. I have to rehang the various guitars that are my favorite flavor of the day. Got room for 6 max on the wall at any given time. Miles will be getting a little something extra in the next few days :p

Anyway, the Denver branch of the Colorado museum is closing it doors until another grant comes through. Only the W2 Bean, the 12 Fret and #47/OFC and the Warrior '55 throwback have reservations already in place. All others will be turned away at the door!

COMING SOON - THE FOR SALE SECTION ;)
