I saw that first one on FB last night. You're a photoshop ninja aren't you? laughing6-hehe

Nice work on both counts. As for which one I like better, they are targeted toward different markets, so each could be used effectively. I know, lotta help I am pizza

For your style, I vote for the second one. Your guitars are sleek and beautiful... just like the lady.

I like the second. But I'm not a fan of any type of profanity in advertising. Even that small bit.

I'm not really a fan of either, sorry. :(
Only because I know your skill level is far beyond what you messed around and did with the ads.
If I was able to do that in photoshop, well fire the cannons and sound the horns, but you, you're a million times better than me.

Point taken - it can be replaced, with something like: "Uhhhhhh", which actually is MORE explicit [:Y:]

Either the guitar is proportionally too large in the "dang" ad....or that girl needs to eat a few hamburgers...soon.
