Impulse 101 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Like whatcha see? Nope, not refretted yet, but it's getting there. Already figuring out whether I want to trust it to a local guy who's really good or send it somewhere like Chicago Music Exchange. Where are you located? I send my stuff to Pete Skermeta in Austin and I live an hour from The Chicago Music Exchange. Pete's work is as good as Suhr or Tyler. JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboMansonMB-1 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Are you majoring in the Qualities of Tone? Maffew Studies, actually. High 5 on the DMMTT. Where are you located? I send my stuff to Pete Skermeta in Austin and I live an hour from The Chicago Music Exchange. Pete's work is as good as Suhr or Tyler. JT I live in San Antonio, about an hour south of Austin. I've heard a lot of good about Pete's guitars, so I'll definitely check him out when I get around to a refret! How do you like CME? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthijs Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Just out of curiosity Bob, how do you angle your flash when taking these pictures? Do you use a flash box, 1 flash or multiple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybobbles Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Just out of curiosity Bob, how do you angle your flash when taking these pictures? Do you use a flash box, 1 flash or multiple? lighting tent, 1 flash upwards. need to get another flashgun at some point but just not enough to justify getting one.

Think you can grab a copy of Lightroom? If you shoot in raw then you should be able to play around with the exposure without lose in quality. Essentially there are 4 levels to adjust; highlights, light, dark and shadows. I just tweak the light so it's bright white. My x100s camera shot was more mergy with the background, the other one was riddled with vignetting fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 You should be able to pick up an official copy of lightroom under 100 dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly. Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Red and chrome dont go for me. Too contrasty as the red is so violent. Alloy works better to soften the whole look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazybobbles Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Red chrome and mirror works for me. high five! you could try ali knobs and machine heads with ali surround and back plates but in general i've massively gone off all things ali unless it's paired up with an ali plated guitar. but yeah, mirror and glitter just go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alloy works better to soften the whole look knt hi five though it currently only has the back plates changed. need to install the surround properly.

Phill Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 But but but...there's loads of chrome hardware on it anyway! I admit, I prefer black or alloy XY surround, but I think mirror back plates look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
