Not really looking for critiqué but I do welcome it. I always like to hear what others have to say :)

edit: =_= was hoping that they would be side-by-side in the forum. Maybe with a higher-resolution they will be. I'm running 1280x1024.

I really like the second one but (as already mentioned) the first one is just too dark.

Yeah, I was having some serious trouble lighting it. If I added any more light I just got hot-spots or blown highlights.

I took a shot of my white guitar (exact same body as this one, just even more beaten up :D), I might process that one and see how it compares.

That said, I kind of think the fact that it's really dark is fitting.

Edit: words got away from me there. Also think the dark is fitting - it's supposed to look beasty :D
...and then that Les Paul....

It looked a bit like the epiphone les paul special..... but now I'm thinking ESP Ltd EC1000 ASB Electric?
(lucky for me I'm the drummer, not the guitarist!)

Well you got the model down EXACTLY (the only difference you can tell in that image from stock is that I put on a set of pickup covers).

Yeah, I intended for the pics to sit side-by-side but the POTN forum layout doesn't extend to allow that.

I knew it wasnt a Les Paul but thought it might have been a PRS.

Granted it's not my guitar, but if I were to get a PRS I'd get a double-cutaway design (probably a superstrat/strat variant). Mainly because I've started to play more prog metal (ie Dream Theater, Opeth, etc) and easy high-fret access is so necessary and none of my guitars have it :(
