Gibson Les Paul Guitar - Jimmy Wallace Model

I love when opportunities like these come along! I was commissioned to photograph a rare guitar as a gift for the owner. This guitar was beautiful and I wanted to treat it like a work of art and capture the color and curves of the woodwork. We had about an hour to work at their home before the husband came home from work. It was going to be a surprise gift and the last thing I wanted was for him to walk in the house to see some stranger going all Johnny B. Goode with his prized possession. I used some window light and available light with some w i d e apertures.
