Anyone like Fenders? A '71 P, a '63 VI, an '84 P Elite, and an '88 MIJ '62 RI J

[antipodean]

Or maybe...

A '91 MIJ Custom edition '57 RI Strat, a '50s CS Tele, and a '64 Jag (refin)

[antipodean]

A couple of very hacked Gibsons: a '69(?) LP Deluxe and '67 Trini Lopez:

A pair of Jerry Jones basses and a 6119 Tenessee Rose:

Hmm...methinks I've been overzealous on the pic resizing...any hints?

Erm, the blowups are coming in on the small side, Evan.

I use "photobucket" to store my images online and then I use the Img button to place a direct html link in the message. The images can be up to 600 x 800

Aside from that, I'm envious to try some of those fine looking guitars of yours especially like the VI and the jag.

Kira, many thanks.

You haven't seen the Mosrites yet..... a '72ish Mark 1 bass and a '65 Ventures. I just finished rebuilding the Moseley tailpiece on the Ventureswith some bits and bobs I scraped up...

Nice, Evan! I knew someone back in the early 1970s with a Trini Lopez, played almost identically to my 335 ... very nice guitar!

The problem is probably the Trini Lopez. I've heard they are really not suitable being resized in photos. But I would be more than happy to help and relieve you of that problem guitar. Just post it to:

Seriously, that's a lovely guitar that "T Lo" of yours!

Evan, what are you using to resize your photos with?

Jeff,

I used PhotoImpact 12 - it came free with the motherboard of my self-built PC, and I love stuff that is free!!!!! It's actually pretty flexible - I think it is the dumb user rather than the software that caused the hassles.

I think Kira's idea is best... I just need to get myself setup on one of those photo sharing sites.... Given how long it has taken me to figure out how to use a digital camera, this could take some time....

Many thanks for the kind words, and apologies for my rudeness in not replying Ricardo.. I'm guilty of partial thread scanning.

The Trini was my first "vintage guitar". It plays brilliantly (since I had it refretted) and has a really '60s slim Gibson neck. It is, however, the victim of a nasty refin and a mad modder who inserted a wrap-around Leo Quan bridge where the tunomatic should go and replaced the pups (well before I got it).

Dig the light discolouration in the finish where the "Trini Lopez" insert used to sit on the trapeze - it gives the guitar a "Frankenstein" look that is knid of cool in a totally illogical way....

I really dig those Mosrites, Evan!

Thanks Joey. The bass has a real '60s thump to it. The Ventures guitar sounds like nothing I've ever heard and is a hoot (if a challenge) to play with its tiny frets. For some reason I have this urge to play "Rock Lobster" whenever I see it....
