Ebay worthy pics?

Just wanted to get some feedback on these pictures that I would put on ebay to sell these guitars. Do I need more? Have I missed something? etc

Rotate the body shots to profile and take a pic of the whole of the back of each just to get rid of any "he could be hiding something" doubts. Look good though, better than most auctions for sure.

If you have the mustang trem atm get one with that too.

Cheers :} I rotated one of the full length ones and it went all fat :/

Like James said. Other than that, they're quite good for a sell.

jag #5 and mustang #2 are maybe a bit surplus, but generally good, i'd say.

I wasn't sure which Mustang headstock 'cause they've both got good and bad bits.

They're a touch dark too. I'm no expert but I can try and adjust them slightly in photoshop for you if you like or give you a few tips on things that could help. It's not really a big deal but you may as well make them look as good as you can. I suppose the key to making maximum money is to make someone fall in love with the guitar and pics are you best bet for that.

The sun went in when I started taking the Mustang ones :(

I had the same problem yesterday with my mustang. If he sun isn't out it's hard to get any 'life' to them.

I'm suprised you have Sun at all in England.

We're allowed to borrow it from France twice a week, but they take it back without warning when you need it the most.

This pic is auto contrast and some colour balance editing. It only took about 20 seconds of editing, took longer to upload. Top right and bottom left are edited, the other two corners are left alone. Check out the bridge and the tort. I'm not sure how much of a difference things like that make but I tend to do it just in case.

Also, that pic sort of makes me wish my mustang had contours D:

Pfft Contours are unnecessary.

Rotate them (or I'll do it for you tomorrow) and they'll be fine mate. In fact you've done your Mustang a favour because it's actually white rather than the cream beige wank colour they can look in photographs which is ugly as fuck.

I think you'll do well.

Are you selling them Bob?

Aye, I fell in love with a CS Strat in Atlanta, so selling to buy that, or if it's gone by the time I've saved up (just over Â£1k), get one when I go over next.

Custom Shop

I used to respect you man.

Hahah, I knows :( It's so beautiful though. I saw it and thought it was vintage, then realised it wasn't and was like ":/ custom shop relic", but had a go and it felt so fucking nice. Just like this one;

It was slightly less battered than that but otherwise exactly the same.

Is it like an SRV? Will you be a blues artist once you get it?
Only kidding mate, nice one.

Edit: just saw the pic, looks good.
