1959 #Gibson #LesPaul, shot for "Burst Believers VI". One of the two biggest highlights of 2022 (and of my *alleged* career as a guitar photographer) was having the privilege to shoot my buddy's 1959 Burst for Vic DaPra & David Plues' new Burst Believers book (out now!). It is my first time being published in book-form, and I am very grateful to the owner of the guitar, as well as David and Vic for giving me the opportunity to be included in their final BB volume. Thanks as well to @michaelsegui for his assistance on this shoot, and his sage guidance in, and input to, the taking of these photos! Look for this guitar near the end of the book (apparently we just got it in with minutes to spare before the publishing deadline) and let me know how it looks...I have not seen the book yet! 😂 #burstbelievers #burstbelieversvi #davidplues #vicdapra #lespaulburst #notareissue #1959burst #guitarphotography #guitarre #gibsonguitars #electricguitar #gibsunday #chitarra #gibson #guitarra #vintageguitars #vintagegibson #guitars #guitar #lespaulspecial #lespaulcustom #lespauljunior #gibsonlespaul #lespaulstandard #gibsunday

We have created the official half demon/angel and I’m very pleased

Why leave half the post in the tags?

1977 #Stratocaster hardtail spotted at @folkwaymusic. This one comes in that oh-so-late-70s natural finish and those oh-so-late-70s black knobs/pickup covers on a black pickguard cosmetics. Also note that oh-so-late-80s mod of putting a #singlecoil-sized #humbucker into the bridge position! My own #Strat had a #SeymourDuncan #Hotrail in the late 80s lol. . Also, it’s #Straturday trivia time: does anyone know why 70s Strat necks turn two different colours as they age? Many times you will see (as with this one) that the headstock face gets tinted more yellowish over time, while the rest of the neck stays more white/maple-y. You don’t see this phenomenon prior to the 70s! What is going on?? Hmm…it’s a headscratcher! 🤔 . . #fender #fenderguitars #fenderstratocaster #guitar #guitars #fenderguitar #vintageguitar #vintagefender #guitarshopping #guitarshop #guitarphotography (at Folkway Music) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFmRXHlhSe6/?igshid=c7eoocdd2op1

An extremely attractive #BurgundyMist #Stratocaster #Relic with matching headstock spotted at @sherwoodkw. . #Straturday trivia time part two: why did I once see a 1958 Cadillac in this exact same colour? 😆 . #fender #strat #fenderstratocaster #guitar #guitars #guitarra #chitarra #guitarre #electricguitar #fenderguitars #customshop #fendercustomshop #reissue #guitarsofinstagram #fendersofinstagram #guitarphotography (at Sherwood Music) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFmxjmrhvSO/?igshid=l54fvvcw1q0o

I find it a tad annoying when one hashtag takes over a entire day of Instagram posts. Strats are great and all, but nothing should not have a complete monopoly on Saturdays! Also I don’t have any good Strat photos to share at the moment. 😆 . So in light of the above, here’s my 1962 #SGSpecial. Not too expensive as #vintageguitars go, but one of the best sounding #guitars I own! . . #gibson #gibsunday #gibsonsg #gibsonsgspecial #vintageguitar #guitar #guitars #vintagegibson #guitarcollection #guitarphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CFnSiaGh9hx/?igshid=1umqkhhtz1rc1

This makes me laugh
