Once you have your image on photobucket, move your mouse cursor over the image and a little menu-window will pop up. Choose from it the last line "IMG Code" and click on it with your left mouse button in order to highlight it. Now click with your mouse's RIGHT button to call up yet another little menu-window from which you may then choose "copy". All you need to do now is to "paste" it onto your Forum post. Works for me every time... ;) To see if it works properly, first choose "Preview", before you "Submit" your post. Good luck.

Good show Penguinshirt! Nice detailed pictures...and...of a not-so-common Mosrite too! Appears to be in good shape; that pick guard looks like it's just been poured onto the guitar, like syrup on a pancake! ;) I notice Semie did not use a zero fret on this acoustic; I wonder about his other acoustics...Thanks for posting.

Here's another pic of a Mosrite Acoustic which has been posted on the Forum before, somewhere...but where...? :oops:
Anyway, I thought you might like to compare... ;)

How do the frets on the acoustic compare to the frets on the Mark I? Are they bigger or are they the same low "speed" frets?

Wow, That's one sweet looking acoustic! I notice it was made with a regular nut instead of a zero fret, However the nut is unusually big for any guitar. Is this the set neck model or the bolt on? Oh and Veenture, Those pictures would be from an eBay auction that I posted about some months ago. That one is the "Bolt on" Model and that specific one had a bad repair on it, I remember seeing glue on the fretboard or something similar.

Edit: I just noticed, both acoustics have truss rods. I realize it isn't uncommon but I'm just pointing it out.

These all crack at the neck joint, usually splintering the soundboard from the neck to the soundhole. You'd be hard-pressed to find one without this repair. In fact, you can clearly see penguinshirt's has cracked in the very same place.

Ouch, I can see that. Didn't I read that it was due to too much paint being used?

Nah, even the natural finish ones have this problem. It's just a design flaw with the bolt-on construction, compounded by pretty chintzy bodies. Despite the shortcomings, for a cheap, small-bodied acoustic guitar these things sound HUGE.
