Newer Strat Pickguards - Pickguard Planet

These guys stole my Fender HM pic from from wayyyyy back. Scroll down a bit, it's the black superstrat with the tele pickguard. One part of me say "these guys are scum, they must pay!" but my rational side says who are these guys anyways, they're nobodies. Plus my model is really rare anyways, it's impossible to get pics of said guitar.

Ask them to credit you for your picture or remove it.

Sorry...you post it on the internet, its fair game. I'm very lazy and have a crappy camera. I steal pics for my stuff for sale all the time.

Ask them to credit you. If they want to remain without bad press, they will do so

Send it as an email.

 

[dmc69]

LOL they removed it. It's now someone else's guitar.

Really dude?

 

[capnjim]

Yeah, really, My camera is as bad as my computer skills. When I sell a generic piece of equipment, I swipe a pic from the internet.

I sent an email to the guys on the website. Here's their response:

Hi David:
We will remove your pic from the site.
It does look like a cool axe; they seem really rare; I never see them at the vintage shows, etc.
.
Thanks,
Kenny

Kudos for the fast response.

First world problems.

Any problem in here is a FWP.

It's a first world site, isn't it?

yep...ive got photographer friend that's had that happen...the site even cropped out his watermark...
step up and own it buddy...credit where credit is due!

It's a guitar photo, honestly. I know I wouldn't get overly excited over it. It's not a piece of artwork that YOU made (yes, you took a photo..) I get it. You put a photo of your guitar on the net, and now... voila, your lively hood as a guitar photographer is gone. Now, if they ripped off some of your music for something, totally different ball of wax.

They took it down, so you win the internet today, sir.

Seymour Duncan used my photo of my tele once and I didn’t take a fit of it. It actually made me vary proud of my self

Warmoth used one of my pics and I too am kind of proud they did.

A site used a pic of my Vantage bass. They misrepresented the scale length and I emailed to correct them.

Hey Cheezy, I love the Spider email thread.... and I'm definitely going to re-post it elsewhere on the web without giving you credit.

Pictures I took of my Fury Fireball for this site, ended up on several other sites. I've also seen them on Pintrest, Facebook. One of them even showed up on the Eastwoods promo email and site when they were selling a Fireball clone. I thought that was just the way of the world.
