Author Message Arney Username: Arney Registered: 10-2004 Posted on Friday, June 24, 2005 - 8:14 pm:    Hello, I have this guitar I bought years ago. So long ago that I cannot remember exactly what I paid for it. I found it hanging in a local guitar shop. As best as I can remember, I paid $200.00 or less for it. I have seen one of these sell for over $3,000.00. The guitar is pristine, not a mark, ding, dent, scratch, or blemish of any kind on it. I have the bridge. I removed the strings for long term storage. I think it is the Number One of my collection.

I thought I had posting pics down pat; obviously not. I'll try again.

Most pics, when taken are in the 650kb to 700+kb range. When I resize pics to the 50kb size for posting they seem to lose clarity and definition. Can anyone suggest a different software to allow reduction in size and keep the clarity and definition?

I'm sure there's some good software that's a bit less expensive that you can pickup that'll do a better job of resizing.

It's free and easy to use. http://www.faststone.org/ Johns Username: Johns Registered: 02-2001 Posted on Friday, June 24, 2005 - 9:44 pm:    Arney: Looks a lot like the Westbury Custom made by Matsumoku, imported in the early '80s. Wondering what would make something like this worth $3,000.00? Arney Username: Arney Registered: 10-2004 Posted on Saturday, June 25, 2005 - 1:39 am:    Johns, I was amazed. It was a seller's dream scenario, people with money, each determined to win the auction. The two winners were the seller and the guy who finished second in the bidding. It may have something to do with the fact that only about 250 were made. And some rocker uses one and made it famous. About the Faststone. I downloaded it and got the icon on my desktop. But everytime I click on it it needs to reinstall itself. What's going on? So I uninstalled it. I'll try downloading it again. How do you resize pics with this software? What are the steps?

Hard to imagine a guitar made largely with mid '80s Korean parts going for that kind of money otherwise.
