In general I'm not a fan of guitar shots - they just don't hold my personal interest. That aside, I like how the guitar grain matches the background. I also like the contrasting white.

Maybe a different background would have helped make this more dramatic. Nice detail though.

Great leading lines. I love that the body of the guitar almost blends in with the background.

I like the perspective on this, I wish the guitar stood out a bit more though.

nice touch with the grain of the guitar going the same way as the floor. good contrast to the white plate. well composed

chrome parts look greenish, probably from incorrect white balance. brighter areas at left side distract - could have been cropped off; had helped for a more interesting composition, too.

interesting angle. I wonder if your shot would have been a bit better if on a different back ground instead of one that is similar to the base color.

Great DOF and the lighting is nice overall, though I'm not sure about the highlighted area on the left. The whites are very well done.

NIce concept with the woods

This would have been nicer seen on a black or solid background, the red wood washes out the color of the guitar. The bright spot on the right is very distracting.

Nice perspective. Those stratocasters haven't changed mush over the years.
