Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

So, finally I have an avatar...from my old guitar. Well, not that old, but I built it in 1996. For those inclined...Telecaster shape, humbucker pickups coil tapped, Brazilian mahogany body, book-matched flamed maple top, rock maple neck...sounds great (and very photogenic also). And she has the same name as me ... Vicareyus!

And you're using your old 70-300 as a bottleneck slide on it, right? :)

Well done, Vic.

Good looking axe mate " & image!!!"

I love the sunburst color scheme on guitars, I always wonted a Les Paul but never found the money in time before giving up playing in bands & a family came along :?

Cheers
Ray :P

Thanks all. This guitar plays beautifully and is only limited by the player. Can sound Strat like (especially when front pickup on single coil) or Les Paul like (humbuckers on). Best played through a tube amp of course. I like lots of sustain as I try to replicate that "Larry Carlton" sound (so like jazz/blues sound).

Nice guitar Vic, very impressive.

I made an ashtray once in woodwork back in 1968, and from that experience, I can't even imagine how someone can make something like the ViCareyus 1

Lovely work Vic - my only experience of woodwork was to build a kitchen and the next day have a tradesman come in and do it properly (I was married at the time!!) :roll:

Lovely work. Must be extra special making sounds with something you created yourself. And good photos too!!
