Sorry to double post again, but I thought I should mention that having looked at them again, I realise that not all the images are edited ones from the Fender site (although all the Knopflers are). David Gilmour's black strat is an unedited scan, the body of his esquire is a photo with an edited neck, the Jaguar strat is a scan, and the pickguard and headstock of George's 'Rocky' were photos, though when updating the knopfler ones today, I replaced this image with a scan.

I can't believe I forgot the whole neck on the Schecter strat!

Nice job anyway. As improvement suggestions, here are some more details to pay attention to: the red Schecter Strat should have a bird's eye maple neck the string holder (butterfly) must be round, also on the Tele the Schecter decal should be straight, not angled, and the font looks somewhat different the Schecters don't have vintage saddles, as Dermot already pointed out the color of the Fender is not really right I was really wondering whether these are replica guitars or just edited photos, so now we know.

With this in mind, if anyone here wants copies of the ones on strat-talk or requests for any others, feel free to ask.

I'm constantly upgrading them, so any suggestions of changes, or things I've missed would be great. You flatter me with your attention!

The schecter strat has blemishes on the fret board, but the 61 looks near enough.
