Idea #2......

Image

Bigger picture. Narrower date boxes. A bit of PorkyPrimeCut artistic license. Different font (which will probably change again soon. I've got thousands but can never decide on one to use!!)

I'm gonna look into pricing & companies that do it as soon as I get a format sorted. I was thinking of that format to begin with mjet260 (we've one just like that in our kitchen). I chose the single pager as it may cut down on costs as its not double sided?!?

Keep the ideas coming folks. All imput is welcome.

More importantly I need some more nominations for the guitars we're gonna picture!!  ;)

I like how in the 2nd version, you didn't use the word "Fender".

The first version with "Fender XII" and "Fender Jazzmaster", seems redundant. Like, pretty much all the pics are going to be Fenders, so we don't need to know that info; and there's the legal aspect, too.

Aaaaaaah. Its yours eh? I've read about it in numerous threads but couldn't remember who actually owned it.

Anyway. That picture of your guitar on the window seat & Luau's mustangs are the two most amazing pictures I've seen on this site since I joined. Hats off to you both!!

If possible PM me the original JPEG. Hell, send me as many crisp shots as you can. I love the angle & composition of "that picture". Any clear close ups would be amazing - I'm probably gonna use them as funky backgrounds.

The bigger the image the better the results.

not to be nit picky, but a 100% original guitar doesn't really belong in a projects/restoration calender, does it? wouldn't it be better to just call it the OSG calender? that way all the beautiful guitars of this forum would qualify, not just the projects.

Mmmm. Looking back through the thread I thought I'd mentioned that its kinda changing into a simple OSG calendar.

I wasn't sure if the 59 Blonde was all original but Luau's Mustangs are & I want to use them.

Sorry if I confused the issue.



Now. Nominations please!!  ;)

I'd nominate these one (not mine, but both are carbon copies of mine - and better photos than I have)

Are you planning on having this printed?  If so, most of these photos are not going to have enough pixels to print well.
