Eugene:

As an inveterate ebayer, in my opinion you'd have better luck with better pictures. Just my $.02. Good luck on the aution.

Bill, tgo

Thanks Bill; 4 of the pictures are 1790x1200 which is higher resolution than most eBay listers offer so I am not sure how to improve them.

I do not own a good digital camera.

I would welcome any suggestions any of you could offer.

Well, you could have sold it to me for the high bid of the first auction...

As far as pictures go, If I weren't an Alembic guy to begin with, I would probably be looking for pictures of the guitar as it will come. That is, a good body shot minus the synth pickup to show that no damage was done in the mounting and removal. Beyond that, I wouldn't need anything more than what you have provided.

I believe Bob and I were the two bidders. But you never know when the GAS hits hard and the wallet flows. Some better shots of it polished up would have been helpful to me. Nothing says black like shiny black.

Danno loves that shiny black, and a true working musician can often justify a few more dollars for the right gear. This is definitely not a closet special with the various nicks and belt buckle rash down to the wood, but it still has to be a great player and valuable guitar. Those pics are very high res, but maybe not as clear and well lit as they could be.

Eugene, you might consider looking in our profiles and contacting Danno and/or me via email if you want to try and make a direct deal that could save the ebay and paypal fees.
