New guitar week!

New to me anyway, this is a 1975 Greco SE-600N, made in the Fujigen factory’s equivalent of a custom shop. This is of course their copy of a Stratocaster, and almost as old as me.

It has an ash body and rosewood fretboard, and is a pretty heft piece of work. That probably accounts for the lovely resonance and it also has those fizzy, sparkling Maxon pickups. It’ll get a string change tomorrow to my usual flatwounds, and a light setup. Not much needing done to it at all.

Turns out I’m a sucker for well-made Japanese vintage guitars…

A Japanese Stratocaster copy, this is a 1975 Greco SE-600N. The guitar is on a stand, with a natural ash body, rosewood fretboard and a white (well, now off-white) scratchplate and vintage tremolo. The headstock is a bit oversized and has “Greco Super Sounds” printed on it.

The image depicts a historical architectural structure, showcasing three ornate columns with intricate capitals. These columns appear to be part of an ancient building or monument, possibly situated in Petra (Wadi Musa), as indicated by the context provided.
Each column features elaborate decorative work at its top, including what appears to be acanthus leaves and other classical motifs that suggest a Greco-Roman influence on Roman architecture. The capitals are richly detailed with scrollwork, volutes, and leafy patterns, indicating skilled craftsmanship. There is visible wear and tear on the columns' surface, hinting at their age.
The photograph seems to be taken from an angle slightly below eye level, emphasizing the height of the pillars and providing a clear view of the architectural details. The black-and-white nature of the image suggests it may have been captured during or shortly after its construction in approximately 1920-1933. This photo is part of a collection by American Colony Photo Department located in Jerusalem, as referenced on the negative.
The overall composition focuses on highlighting the beauty and craftsmanship of these ancient columns amidst their aged stone surroundings, capturing an essence of historical significance and architectural grandeur from that era.

The image displays an ancient, monumental structure carved into a rocky cliffside. It is composed of grand, classical architecture reminiscent of Greco-Roman design with columns and pediments. The building features three large doors or entrances symmetrically placed on the facade, each framed by detailed stonework including cornices and friezes. Above these doorways are smaller niches which could have once held statues or other decorative elements.
The surrounding rock formation shows signs of erosion, indicating that it has been weathered over a considerable period. The cliffside also features cavities and recessions where additional structures may have existed in the past. To the left side, there is another structure partially visible behind the main building, suggesting this location could be part of an extensive site with multiple edifices.
The image appears to be black-and-white due to its age or photographic technique at the time it was taken; it carries a historical aura and might date back several decades. The photograph's perspective offers a side view from a north-west direction as per the caption provided, likely giving context about this specific structure in relation to other nearby landmarks within Petra.
The black-and-white nature of the image adds a timeless quality, emphasizing textures and contrasts between light and shadow without color distractions. Th [...]

loc.gov/item/2019694785/

The image is a black and white photograph showing an architectural structure carved into the side of a rocky cliff. The building features columns, arches, and intricate carvings that are reminiscent of Greco-Roman architecture but situated in what appears to be a natural rock formation rather than man-made foundations. There's visible deterioration on some parts of the facade, indicating age or weathering effects.

In front of this carved structure is an open space with sparse vegetation including small bushes and plants at its base. To the left side of the photograph, there are two vertical elements that resemble ancient cylindrical stone columns standing alone without supporting anything above them. The rock surface surrounding these structures shows stratification indicative of geological processes over time.

In addition to this architectural feature, a portion of another structure or wall can be seen on the far right edge of the photo, with less clarity due to the overlap and distortion in composition from what appears as an intentional artistic choice by the photographer. The overall tone is historical and somewhat mysterious, evoking curiosity about its origins and purpose.

The photograph itself has text annotations including "OFSI" at the top left corner which could refer to a code or identifier for this image within a collection, likely related to Matson Photo S [...]

loc.gov/item/2019705664/

The image displays a close-up view of ornate classical columns, likely part of an ancient architectural structure. The capitals are richly decorated with intricate carvings that include acanthus leaves and scrolls, as well as other decorative motifs typical of Greco-Roman design. These specific elements suggest the location to be Petra in Jordan. This photograph captures a segment within El-Khazneh, also known as "The Treasury," which is an ancient Nabatean rock-cut temple with elaborate interior decorations that were once painted red but have since faded due to weathering.

This image seems to come from a slide collection by Matson Photo Service, indicating it could be part of their extensive archive documenting various archaeological sites and historical locations. The photo appears aged, which may indicate its original purpose was for educational or archival documentation rather than commercial use.

The image features a historical site with ancient ruins, specifically the Temple of Athena in Rhodes. The main structure is composed of large stone columns and remains of architectural elements that suggest classical Greek design.
