 I was still feeling guitars after my product shot, so I decided to use another variation for my DOF one. I like this one full size because the Fender logo is much clearer than at 640 px. I lit it with my strobes, but just used the lamps so I could keep the DOF.

Photoshop was convert from RAW, curves, selective color to get rid of some c.a. and add a little more color punch, crop, resize, usm, save for web. Simple, but I feel it was effective.

This is nice and I like how you got the brand "Fender" all in focus. Maybe putting all of the front portion in focus would work better because for me the tip of the guitar being blurred is distracting.

classic shot well done. The colors, contrast, and DOF are excellent.
