Guitars, amps, pedals. Ultimate photo thread assignment.

Gear Ho
I've been thinking of doing something, but then, thought it would be better if everyone were involved.

Let's make Thanksgiving week the time this happens, because many old and new members log on around that time.

I want everyone to dust off their camera skills, and create photo shoots from now till the week before Thanksgiving.

Here's what you do. Take photos of amp rigs with guitars and pedals in front of them.
The idea will be to either take pics of your main rig, or get creative if you have a lot of gear.
Stage your pics with a nice background, an amp rig, one or more guitars, and pedals on the ground. You can do it according to musical rigs that are pure magic, color coordinated rigs, or brand themes, such as Gibson/Marshall, Fender/Fender, boutique/boutique, all metal, all blues....whatever, as long as it's bad ass!

Don't post pics in this thread, just tell us you're in. Give us an idea of what you're up to.
Most of all, do it. Pull your guitars, amps, and pedals out. Arrange them in ways that you'd imagine in a guitar calendar, and get ready to post it a few days before Thanksgiving.

If this thread takes off, and the photo thread is a big hit, let's consider having the best pics turned into a few years of calendars.

Cool background, one guitar or a few, cool amp setup, pedalboard or pedals....take a bunch of picks of as many as you can put together, and get ready for the thread.

I've been meaning to get a gear family pic going, so I could probably do a couple of rig shots too.

One reason I thought of this is because most of the regulars on here took pics of their gear years ago and keep posting those same ones.

This thread should be more about updating your photo album, and doing it using your best photography skills, as if you were submitting it to a publisher for a guitar book or calendar.

Around Thanksgiving, we should have the most drool worthy gear thread on the internet.

I am IN!

This is kinda like the Ultimate Guitar Guitar/Amp combo that never happened. Nice call Joe. Appreciate the heads up!

I am most likely in. Tho I do not promise to have great pics.

I may attempt a duo, or trio….

Blues/Jazz & Rock/Metal….

Sweet LP, Jeff. Did you swap your Classic for that one?

It's gotta have at least 1 guitar and 1 amp in the pic. Preferably pedals too. It can also have a few guitars or a few amps in the pic too. With this upcoming thread, I'm trying to avoid big group shots or just single guitar pics with no amp.

I still have the Classic, Joe. Though I need to get it up for sale. The neck is just too thin and really aggravates the hell out of my condition. The new Trad has a massive neck, nearly as big as my R8 was, and my CTS is at bay because of it. Yay! ;)

But DANG that's gorgeous!!!

Yeah. Its a beaut. I am not really into lots of flame anymore, but for some reason, this one really wows me. It looks different from every angle and has some flame like a old burst at some angles. I can't take any credit for it, but thanks! ;)

If I owned that, I would never leave the house.

I'm in on the photo thread, though as I'm seeing a few primer pictures, I'm already getting embarrassed about my own rig.
