Wow! Paul, this is gorgeous. Hope you have a Gretsch White Falcon on your list. Love this!
Paul Louis Vil...
OMG!! You have just mentioned my life long lost love!!!! I know i’m being dramatic but the Gretsch White Falcon is a guitar that i’ve lusted over for years!! :p;p;p !! Thanks Kitsmumma!
webgrrl
sleek..smooth…. :) Like it lots..
transmute
Nice SG Paul, is it yours? Good luck finding that White Falcon! Apparently Chris Cheney of The Living End has one.
Paul Louis Vil...
He sure does! Finding one is possible but finding the “cashola” to purchase one is another story altogether!!:( Thanks Chris and Webgrrl!!
Melody
The lighting in this shot is truely exquisite.
Paul Louis Vil...
...and so are you Melody!!! :D:D:D
Kitsmumma
You and me both Paul! White Falcon is my all time fav (I love Brian Setzer from way back and he has always played one) – have a Gretsch at home but had to settle for a sparkly gold number. Also have an SG and a 63 Epiphone Century Arch Top. Love guitars!
AnaBanana
this is very nice looks so delicate to me … love it
Paul Louis Vil...
Thank you Anabana!! Love your Red Bubble name!!!!
Kitsmumma… Unfortunately throughout the years guitars have come and gone…:( I’ve managed to hold on to a few, the gibson being one, an epiphone twin neck (6/12) and a Charvel/Jackson are regularily plugged in for a blast!
hugo
the sort of photo we expect from you, Paul, great!!
Craig Shillington
The B&W King strikes again. Fair Dinkum mate, your stuff is AWESOME!!! Although, I am very envious of the subject matter in this one ;) hehehe

Mel Brackstone
What a fabulous photo, Paul Louis! Love the beautiful tones in this monochrome. No doubt the tones from the instrument are also gorgeous!
Paul Louis Vil...
Oh Yeah!! Especially when cranked through a Marshall Stack!! I can also be a little more mellow and run it through a JC120! Thanks Mel!
transmute
Hey Paul, was thinking of you when I took this one: Golden Guitar
Now imagine the Marshall stack…
Paul Louis Vil...

Clean and simple, but amazing:)
Paul Louis Vil...
Thank you kindly awoni! :D
Andrew Robertson
Great light – love the shadows and can’t believe how clean and spotless the guitar is. Put’s mine to shame – need to get the cloth out on mine I think.
Paul Louis Vil...
LOL!
I had the cloth out too Andy!!
There’s no putting to shame in this place mate, we hold each other in equal respect and you should be proud of your artistic output!
Keep up the great work Andy! :D
Michael Douglass
Haha, was about to comment on how clean it was as well but no need. I have never been able to go past my Les Paul but SG’s are good, think the Les Paul aesthetics do it for me a bit more. Great tones, the shot and the guitar I mean.
Paul Louis Vil...
LOL!
I know what you mean Kalb! Thanks heaps mate!
The Les Pauls have an easy playing style but it’s just the “Fat” neck on the SG that gets me time and time again!! :D
Lina
I love this
Paul Louis Vil...
Thank you kindly LisaG! :D
Carl Osbourn

Firedrake
Awesome…SGs always been my fav guitar. Don’t HAVE one though…sigh.
I just viewed your profile…how funny, I keep saying to people how much I wish I was about 21 in 1968!! Hendrix, Led Zep starting to happen, no stupid dance music.
Cool stuff in your folio btw!
Paul Louis Vil...
Ha! So we both feel like we both belong to a different era!! Cool!
Yeah, 21 in ‘68 now that would have been fantastic and also a little dangerous, if you know what i mean? :p!!
Thanks for stopping by Firedrake! :D
Gregoryno6
When does the Maton Wildcat joint the series?
Paul Louis Vil...
Ha! Yes, nice instrument Gregoryno6!
Ummmm, when i can afford one! (or when someone loans me one!) LOL!!
Jonathan van Beek
Paul- how did you light this shot? Looks great.
Paul Louis Vil...
Hello Jonathan, it was placed on a table (covered with pillows and sheet) and the lighting (natural) was a gap (tailored) in the blind of a small window.
kristin

Paul Louis Vil...
Thanks heaps Kristin! :D
