Do those familiar with Guitar's get it?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to view them.

Technically perfect!

Best regards Jim, please come sometime my place if you are not mad at me!

the headstock almost looks fender but that doesn't look like their typical rosewood fretboard or cutaways

Thanks for the visit!

It is a Fender Squire Standard Stratocaster and a bit unique for a Squire. It's one of the Indonesian crafted models, and a great player as well as the sound but I've simply got too many and need to thin them down a bit.

Jim...this has great detail, composition, and color.  I like how you have done it.  Well done.

Outstanding work my friend and the crop is well thought off, there is no need for more to show what this instrument is, you also mastered the lighting here and obtained all of the fine detail, the original colors are of great credit to the high quality of this capture and the background color well separated the main subject, I also like the framing work here, it is a superb add to the composition of this remarkable image.

Thank you for sharing it my friend and wishing you all of the best.

i know what you mean Jim....i sold most of my guitars and basses over the last 2 years as well.... now down to one electric and one acoustic....basically took the money from one hobby and poured it into another.....lol

Very nice work, Jim!

I like the framing, Jim. Well done

most said what i thought but i didnt see any mention the shadow that really finishes the photo for me almost looks like a continuation of the guitar great shot

Yeah I do like the composition with the guitar passing through the shadow of the headstock, Fender Stratocaster maybe?..., though it was normal for the strap pin to be positioned on the left wing, so maybe copy, ahhh I have just  read above ok that explains it. I did have one of the very early Mexican squires, great sound, stick to my Gibson SG these days, but alas music has taken a back seat since photography took over : - )

I like the simplicity of the image and the choice of background too. Nice work Jim

Best Regards

Thanks for taking the time to look and comment. Yes, what made me decide to post these was the shadow's of the headstocks that I found interesting, thus I made these crops of the originals.

Alf, the strap pin is not showing because I replaced them with a flush mounted Dunlop Strap Lock.

Like Thom, I'm having to thin them out a bit!

Again, thanks to you all,

Cheers,

Very nice work Jim.  I wonder if moving the shadow (nice composition) up the neck with a lower lighting angle would bring it out better.  Too bad we can't embed music on these images....  :-)

The fender is nice indeed.  I think I need to say a bit about the shot and not the fantastic craftsmanship and beauty of the guitar I like the tone of the shot and the way the shot shadown lays on top of the guitar that is what kicks for me... Thanks Jim...

Hi Jim,

Job well done, Jim.  I like the colors, sharpness and perfect lighting on this photo.  Best regards.
