Beggin, thanks aiming for inclusion in the calander two years running ;)

2ifybC, it's getting there, really it is, it's amazing how quickly you can adapt, it's feeling pretty natural now. It sounds so good! In fact haven't even touched the 07C since it came, $660 well spent :)

Question for you. Are any of the tips of the Eppies lifting? Mine has 2-3 and when I was
cleanning her up, I snagged a tip and snapped it off. I was able to glue it back on and unless you are up close, it not noticable. I was bummed!! :mad:

None of the tips but there was a TINY section lifting up - i lifted it a little more and squeezed some super glue under there. But I don't care, if not noticeable and I'm never likely to part with this beaut. A little battle scars are normal, don't worry about it.

Glorious pictures! One question on a slightly different track...I have a guitar-focused web site planned...May I use them for some of the graphics?

My plan: I would grab them, Photoshop them just a tad, and incorporate them into other graphics. I mean, they're just gorgeous!

Oops...I withdraw the question...I went back to admire them and saw the copyright notice on them...

Never mind...

People often say that! It's from a Pentax Optio 4Si, ultra compact 4 mega pixel point and click. Cost about $100.

Beauty guitar Dweez. One just like it is on my wish list to partner with my 1537. But it's gonna have to wait a long, long time I'm afraid. Enjoy.

Dweezil, I love the close-ups. Maybe submissions for the next OFC calendar?

Ok Jim,
I'm gonna tell you some thing that will make your heart sink a bit. I told you I paid $500.00 for it which is what the guy I bought it from originally went back to after a little original hagling. Once we meet, about 1 hour's drive for both ,I noticed the Eppies lifting the dried out bridge and fretboard and even though I knew it was no big deal, I played it up. The guy say you know what, your right, I'll give it to you for the $350.00 we originally talked about!!!!

Dweezil, My appoligies for "stealing your topic" here and in no way does this diminish the great deal/guitar you have. I'll say it again. She's a beauty!!!!!

Not only excellent photo quality, but outstanding creativity in the subjects, shot angles, frame composition, and color contrasts. Nice work, Dweez.
