Outdoor gee-tar photo shoot

A few weeks ago I took a bit of time to polish up most of the guitars in my collection, and upon realizing how beautiful the weather was that day, I took the time to drag all the guitars outside to take a few pictures. The guitar colors just tend to "pop" much more in the sun than under indoor lights, and the "natural" backdrop just looks much cooler than the guitars leaning up against the studio wall.

Here's the first half of the PRS collection...

L to R: Starla (vintage orange), Custom 22 (vintage yellow), Custom 22 semi-hollow (tobacco sunburst), Standard 24 (cream), Custom 24 (violin amber burst), Custom 24 (whale blue), Mira (vintage cherry)

...and the other half of the PRS collection...

L to R: DGT (cherry sunburst), McCarty Korina (vintage natural), Singlecut (black sunburst), Singlecut Satin Trem (emerald green), Sunburst 245, McCarty Soapbar (black), McCarty Rosewood (natural)

...here's the G&L collection...

L to R: ASAT Classic Bluesboy Semi-hollow (tobacco sunburst), ASAT Special Deluxe (blackburst), ASAT Classic (vintage white), Legacy Special (black), Legacy (natural yellow tint), S-500 Deluxe (blueburst)

...and the "neither PRSi or G&L's" collection...

L to R: Gretch G6120-1959, Gibson Firebird Non-Reverse, Ibanez 540R-LTD, Voodoo Guitar Works custom archtop, EBMM John Petrucci 7-string, Carvin DC120 12-string, Heritage H-535


...and finally the "basses and baritones" collection...

L to R: Yamaha RBX800AF fretless, G&L Tribute L-2500 5-string, Danelectro Dead-on '67 baritone

After snapping those pics, I started setting up for an all-acoustic photo shoot, however the rain clouds starting moving in and put a damper on the remainder of the photo shoot. Oh well... will have to wait for another sunny day to drag all the acoustics outside to finish the run.
