“Sometimes,” according to Thom Yorke, of the rock band Radiohead, “the nicest thing to do with a guitar is just look at it.” This particular six-string—a gracefully aging Epiphone—has been nice to look at for 42 years. Photographed in Coral Springs, Florida, January 20, 2015. Higher resolution versions of this photo can be viewed at 500px.com.

Well Ken, I did not know what to expect from the title, and was very surprised to see a guitar fret, amazing and I love it! 🙂

Excellent photo, Kenn! Looks like a nice instrument, steel strings and all. Could be a sibling of my guitar 🙂

  Much thanks, Tiny! That guitar has been with me for so long, I figured it deserved a portrait all its own. And if yours is a sibling of mine, I’m sure you understand the sentiment. 🙂
