    Damn that looks good. Nice job man.
    Loving pretty much everything about it. The home page just looks awesome. And all the pages are pretty fresh, which I like.
    Looking at it again, my only gripe is the guitars shown on the homepage slider are zoomed in too much because of the width of the slider (had a bit of a battle with that myself on my own site, good fun). You could get around it by pushing a white or black border or something around the picture to make it wider, and fit into the frame nicely, which would get the whole guitar in the picture, and looking shmick.

    I feel like ideally for new kits that come out, do a fancy shoot with a black background like the first guitar shown on the homepage has. Then show that on a small slider down the bottom for 'new kits', so the whole front page has some fancy looking shots kinda thing. Then when you go to the listing, have the normal shots. More work, but makes those teasers look delicious

    Thanks for the feedback Mr Drifter... I was being a bit "Arty" by zooming in on some of the images... plus I had to so the text would be readable.

    Good idea about the new kits shot on a black background... but yes, that is a lot more work for yours truly. I think it might be worth the effort though.

    I've seen other companies do "Mock Up" (partly assembled) shots on a black background and that does look good.
    Cheers,

    Adam
