I was messing around with the aperture settings and this is what I got. The lighting is natural light from my bedroom window, by the way. :cool:

Maybe, showing the body of the les paul from a 45 degrees ground up

It's not the most flattering shot I've seen of a Les Paul. They're beautiful guitars, man, SHOW IT OFF!

Pfft...too bad I don't still have my '68 L5 Custom. That was a beautiful guitar. Pictures don't do it justice, though. Not without that sound.

Here's my Les Paul taken just now. A Cherry sunburst Les paul "Classic" model. If I had to evacuate the house this is the first thing I'd grab......then the camera!;)

During the wildfires here in 2003, we were evacuated because the flames were within 1/4 mile of the house.

My brother called while we were packing, and my daughter (who also plays guitar) answered the phone. "Did you and Dad get all the guitars?" They were the first things in the van after the "lock box".

I recently sold my Les Paul and turned it into more photo gear. I've come to realize that I'm more of a Fender guy; I like the longer scale...

certainly are Daddrio's ACDCROCKS....well spotted!, Cool SG by the way. Its wierd how people tend to be either Gibson or Fender people.....I guess its just because they are complete opposites, but both excellent in their own ways.

D'Addario uses color-coded ball ends on their strings. Looks like you had to change the G string, though. The ball end on that should be green!
