Bodacious basses, gorgeous guitars

Posted by on Feb 8, 2011 in Photography | 6 Comments

I was eager to try out my new 10-22mm wide angle this weekend, but my plans were dashed by persistent snow, cold and heavy overcast skies. Camera in hand, with no where to go, I waited for my son while he took his weekly guitar lessons at our local music store, Meeker Music. Striking up a conversation with the cheerful shop owner, I inquired if I may take a couple of photos of his fine collection of acoustic, electric and electro-acoustic guitars. Here are a couple of shots.

    I wish I did play guitar because these are just shouting out to be picked up and touched and played! Love all those curves and colours, the 10-22’s looking good 🙂

    I’m a guitarist myself, so I love images of guitars. Thanks for sharing this!
