i saw him as i walked through the sun-drenched plaza — head low, guitar up, voice silent but somehow still loud. denim sleeve rolled, pattern shirt open like a story, his hands moving like they’d done this forever. he didn’t need an audience. he had his music.
Long ago when I set out my Bucket List / Lifetime Dreams I was doing music full-time and I thought it would be great to collect all of the ends of the guitar strings I went through- and then life changed and I quit playing music 20-hours a day.
I still collect the ends of all my strings- but I know I'll never fill up the bottle I had as my collection bottle, and that's perfectly okay. I still kept the ambition / dream on my list, but I set some parameters for when I would feel it was "complete".
As a side note: one of the strings that I just switched out is going to be incorporated into my wedding ring, so yes I am changing them again after just switching them out a week or so ago!

This is part of my husband's bass guitar. I don't know what all the parts are but these are where the strings are attached to the bottom of the guitar body.
Numerous guitars hang on display in a vibrant music store located in Seville, showcasing a range of styles and sizes for music lovers.
What you’re looking at is more than just a guitar—it’s a masterclass in vintage design, modern craftsmanship, and tonal precision. This close-up showcases the unmistakable curves and creamy yellow finish of a Fender Stratocaster, one of the most iconic electric guitar silhouettes in music history. But what truly sets this particular model apart is its maple neck with scalloped frets—a feature beloved by virtuosos for the way it allows expressive bends, subtle vibrato, and effortless speed.
Scalloped fretboards are rare by design. Unlike standard frets, scalloping involves carving out the wood between the frets to create a shallow U-shape. The result is a playing experience where your fingers only contact the strings, not the fingerboard, giving you more control with less effort. Though originally popularized by players like Yngwie Malmsteen in the ‘80s shred era, scalloped necks have become a symbol of elite custom instruments—favored by those who demand finesse and flair in equal measure.
The light, vintage-tinted finish nods to Fender’s golden age in the 1950s and early ‘60s, when Leo Fender’s original vision revolutionized the music industry. The Stratocaster’s contoured body, bolt-on neck, and triple single-coil pickup layout became the blueprint for generations of electric guitars. But this version adds a twist of modernity with its scalloped neck—combining retro style with a highly specialized performance edge.
Whether you're a collector, a tone chaser, or just someone who appreciates the beauty of well-worn wood and chrome, this guitar is a conversation starter and a player’s dream. It’s hanging on display now, but it’s ready to sing in the right hands.

Changing guitar strings on an electric is pretty straight forward… changing strings on a classical guitar requires some fancy knott-work and I was always hesitant to change the strings on this guitar and do it correctly. So today, I taught myself how to do it!

Something musical that I made. It does not really translate to macro in a way. Or maybe it does.

For the Crazy Tuesday challenge; "Guess What It Is"
I cropped the shot maybe a bit too much to give you a chance ... it is something that can give you Good Vibrations! 🤔

I hate it when I can't uncover the 'truth' quite quickly, so there is a shot with less of a crop if you'd like to see. I think it should give you more of a hint! 😊

I enjoy photographing guitars and guitar strings. If you check my guitar album, there are lots in there, but I had to try it once again, this time with my Laowa 2:1 macro lens.
All the snow has melted here - our back yard is green again and it's warmed up quite a bit.
Happy Monday!
My activity feed wasn't working this morning. I contacted Flickr and it seems they've fixed the problem. I will catch up on your latest images at some point today :)
A bunch of guitar string ends put through the Glow app.
