Hey all,

I've been playing guitar for several years nows and often found myself wanting to stick a real nice guitar on my desktop, and im sure like many of you have been suprised at the awful wallpaper websites around.

So, considering that web design is my backup work to my band life I figured I would try to change that :)

I only launched the website a couple of days ago, so check back to see the wallpaper collection grow.

My goal is to offer a wide selection, including our beloved Fender, in a wider selection of resolutions.

Hopefully you all like the website, I didnt know of this community until I was on the search for some good wallpapers but I think I will be sticking around. Let me know if you can think of anyway to improve the site.

Guitar Wallpapers

Cheers,
Dean

Where did you get the images and do you have permission to use them on your own site? Just because Fender offers a selection of wallpapers for personal use doesn't automatically mean you can offer them on your own site w/o permission.

They may be perfectly fine with it but you should ask.

Remember, just because an image is on the internet doesn't mean it's free to use any way you like (or at all). Just like music, images are copyrighted.

Hey StratShooter,

Thanks for the heads up, I am fully aware of the copyright issues and working with various sources to ensure the website doesn't use content it isn't allowed to.

Just adding a load more today, aiming to hit 100 within the next few days.

Dean

a few of the wallpapers on your site are from the fender wallpaper section which is a member of the forums benefit to get those wallpapers and a only a members benefit it is. so how is that right that you are using wallpapers on your website from this website which we have to sign up to obtain.

You dont have to sign up to see or use those wallpapers Tanner? You can even read the whole of this forum as a guest, the only benefit I can see to being a member is to take part of the discussions.

Actually; ever since the website has been re vamped the wall papers are available to any that can access the sight. A logon is no longer required…

Oops must have been posting at the same time as wtcumm00.

Like I mentioned above I am dealing with the content of the website with copyright owners myself, I am not here to discuss this aspect of the website just to offer other guitar ethusiasts somewhere to go and get some input if anyone has any ideas!

Well, Fender can have two trains of thought.

1) They want the images to live exclusively on their site as an incentive to drive traffic.
OR
2) They figure the more Fender wallpapers out there, the better, regardless of where it came from because it's advertising.

The important point is that permission is obtained. (which deanr seems to be working on)

Hi Dean,
Welcome the the forums. I do appreciate the link to your site, and I hope you will become a regular poster here. There have been a number of folks that have posted one time, to "lure" us to there sites...I hope your not one of those...
