A good subject. Fits the challenge, although I think in this particular challenge, a stronger connection might be made if more of the actual wooden body were showing, here the attention is drawn strongly to the parts, especially the bridge, which is of course metal. Lighting is not bad, there are no unwanted heavy shadows or bright/hot spots, although I think maybe a little tweaking in editing (levels or curves adj. and maybe some brightness/contrast) could enhance the presentation. Compositionally, although dramatic angles and perspectives can be great, I feel that this straight on approach works and has a good interest level. However, it seems that the specific framing/cropping takes a little away from the image though, due to the parts being cut off (the pickup, knife switch, tone knob and jack plug). It's like when you view a photo of people and a head, or arm or leg is cutoff in the frame, unless it is obviously purposeful for that composition, it comes off as accidental and unsettling. It does seem that you have a good eye and feel, and chose a good subject. A little attention to detail can make a 'good' photo 'great'. :-)

Wood meets metal neat idea. I just find the shapes and the reflection on the none wood items more interesting. A fancy antique starburst patern would have gotten you a 10 from this fellow guitarist. Having the instrument being played may have put life into your shot. Yours gets a 4 and the hope that music themes get put into future challenges soon. Thanks.

The photo could be larger. Use can post a picture with the long end peing 640 pixels, your long side is only 450. It's a nice picture though.
