VSK back on the bay


I was just wondering why this hasn't sold. I almost picked it up last time it was on, but the lack of bids had me weary. The color looks a bit odd, but I've taken pics of a 777sk with a $3k camera and had them come out strange colors. Just wondering if there was something I was missing.

Happened the same to me. Itīs really difficult to take out the real colour of the vskīs (more than the skīs, I donīt know why). Anyways, what worried me was the lake of detailed pics of the chip on the left side of the bridge.

When you take photos with any digital or any camera for that matter, the only way to really capture the fluro part of the guitar, is to take the photo and put it into a program like Adobe Photoshop, and use color correction, as well as some other usefull tricks to bring the color to what it looks like when veiwing it in person...

Just saw the 3bay ad your talkin about and its possible he took photos of the guitar with a black light to enhance the color, but the guy is for sure a crap photographer. :P

It seems to be the real thing, so the only thing you have to be worried about is the condition of the axe. Good luck and let us know! Pics when arriving.

Re: VSK back on the bay


Got her in the other day. Haven't really had time to mess with it much, but upon first inspection she seems ok. A little rough and in need of some MAJOR cleaning, but I think she'll turn out to be a nice addition to the collection. I'll post pics when I get the time to clean her up.
