I just ordered mine Paul. Nice job, and all are excellent photos. Just wondering about the guitar-to-bass ratio. Did you have many submissions for basses?

The guitar-to-bass ratio of submissions is accurately reflected in the calendar. I'd gladly do a 50-50 if I got enough basses.

This year, I had about the same number of submissions, and about half were people who sent in stuff last year, and half newbies to the calendar.

On the whole, however, the quality of submissions was way higher this year!

Still not too keen on the context of the photos. I don't think Ric's look great next to cars, or on porches, or near sunsets. I think they should be photographed in a musical context, without necessarily showing a person's face. Of course, I want to see the glow in the "glo". Sorry to be critical, but I want to be a curmudgeon too.

Awwwww come on Steve, weren't you the one giving me suggestions for a rock'n'roll queen makeover last summer? Thought you'd like my guitar with the appropriate garb for sure, LOL!

Oh, is that you, Miss February ? Of course, everything you do is great Melissa Image. Yes, that was me, suggesting such queenery last summer. I would have submitted my album cover shot for the calendar

but Paul doesn't like people in his pictures.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Thanks Paul. You did a fantastic job as always. We are lucky to have you.

Just got mine in the mail today and all I can say is: FANTASTIC! The 362/12 is incredible as is the 1997 LH. Hey, I'm a southpaw, OK?
If there isn't a 12 string Rickenbacker playing at my funeral, I'm leaving.

Hey Steve,

Check your email.... I tried to send you something and it bounced back to me.... the message said your inbox was full, or something to that effect.

I'm surprised my calendar hasn't gotten here yet.... I was expecting to get it yesterday or today; they sent me notification that they sent it out on Saturday. It HAS to be here tomorrow, LOL!

I also received my calendar today. However, the one I had dropped shipped to my aunt in Wisconsin hasn't arrived up there.
