Yep, I've used that site off and on for probably close to a decade now. It is limited for the most part to pre-1970 products, but it covers the main manufacturers fairly well.

That site is a collection of illegally used photos and text plagiarised from George Gruhn. Refer to it if you must but it's all information that's available elsewhere.

It's the site that gets people to believe that most vintage Rics need a neck reset. I have yet to touch one that does.

It is the first time I had come across it. It is a shame to not get permission to use photos; it doesn't take that long to do and I feel most folks would be happy to help out a legit site. Just the photographer in me ranting.

Yep, that's the site. He's the one who says that a Ric needing a reset is "trash", he obviously doesn't understand that the tenon captured in the body is far better at preventing the need for a neck reset at all.
