Is there a noticeable difference in string tension and/or tone when you have the strings go over the stop tailpiece?

not really to my ears, tonewise, but it does tighten up the low E a little more, IMO, tension-wise. i am entirely inconsistent when it comes to wrapping or not wrapping. some of my guitars have it; others don't. there's no science to it.

i just couldn't get this picture to work. i loved what i was seeing with my eye, but through the lense it sort of went to crap. oh well, here it is anyway. just imagine it 100x better in person.

You Sir, take a great picture! :thu:

thank you, Doc! there's photog-types that run clear circles around me, but i do enjoy taking pictures of my guitars.

Cratz2 is a pretty good photographer. He's taken several pictures of my gear. Even with a good camera, my pics somehow always look like those terrible digital phone pics you see in the spam thread and on ebay. :facepalm:

cratz2 is great. i like tweedledee's pics as well. there's a few others, but i can't think of who they are right now.

i took these pics over the holiday weekend. it's not the entire "family", but it is all of the Gibson Reissues that i own. it's the first time i've taken them all out and seen them together. it's a beautiful bunch, IMO. can you name them all?

[SpookyTheCamper]

guess what it is... :confused:

it's an ampeg plexi guitar shot on a shag rug with some weird effects and slow exposure?

I'd do dirty things with that R4 and G0. Lovely family, Dane.

thank you, S_O! they both clean up nicely too, but i agree dirty is where it's at.

I'll take a shot at naming them.

Top row: R7, R8, '52 reissue, R8, G0, 57 Black Beauty, '68 Custom, JB Reissue
Bottom Row: R6, R9, R9, R4

you are SO close. the guitar just to the right of the '52RI is actually another G0. i loved the lemon-ish one so much that i scored the other one a few weeks after.

... and while it's nearly identical to the (MUCH pricier) JB RI, the guitar in the back on the far right pre-dates the official release of the JB, so to be technically correct i guess we have to refer to it as a R4 Oxblood. the neck on that thing is fat as heck. i love it. the previous owner replaced the creme trim with the black, but i have all the original trim if i ever wanted to put it back to stock.

thank you again, S_O, for the interest!
