Drag the pic onto your desktop from your photo library. It will show up on your desktop as something like a "Hurl" or IM00, or jpeg, with a number after. The last pic I loaded here was titled IM001302. I make a note of the number so it's easy to find later in the process.
Go to "Post a reply"
Click on "Upload picture"
A window will appear titled "The Steel Guitar Forum::Upload picture"
In the middle of that window you will see ""Select file" click that
Another window will open that lists whatever is on your desk top
Scroll down until you find your pictures title, in my case, it was IM001302.
Click twice on that title, and the desktop list will close and you'll be back to the "upload picture" window, but your pic file number will be where it said "Choose File" before
Wait a couple of minutes, cuz it takes a while to load, then Click "Send" in that window
The "Upload Picture" window will change. Your pic will be on it.
Click on "Insert picture" and you're done.
Before I click the "Submit" button under my posting, I click the "Preview" button just to make sure it's okay. This may sound complicated, but it's not! And once you do it once, you'll never have a problem again. The only snag I've ever had was trying to upload a pic that was just too durn big. Like 1640 by 1220, which I don't know how to adjust on a pc, or on a Mac for that matter! But you can do that in your photo application. |

This has gone on longer than the launch of the Segway
Now I'm between 6 & 10 hours in front of you guys, which means I have to go to bed now and I just know I'm not going to sleep.

James, I have been trying to go to sleep for the last hour, but this guitar we've heard about here...well, let's just say, I'll be pulling an all-nighter tonight.
I will not sleep until I see Thomas' photos...this has gone on for just too long!!! I've been waiting all day, c'mon already...
Please, if you're up, PM me, I'll be here....

I'm a sucker for ebony, so it immediately get's my full attention. And the rest is quite nice indeed.
Bound body, a plus!
Don't care for the uncomplimentary wood PU surround, but that's a minor niggle that could easily be made over. And I really like the body shape and stop tail design!
Is that your 1st attempt, Thomas?
See, we're easily tamed! |

| Absolutely beautiful, Thomas -- I love the inlays. How's it sound and play? |
It sounds great with the Lollar Chicago Steel pickup,it also plays good it is very balanced on all strings. I have had it played by some really good steel players and they loved it,only suggestion I have had by one player is heavier gauge strings and a little higher action. Thanks Tom |
