Strings are thick 52 on bass E string and tight frets up the neck.

I was wondering if you have any idea re: the source of these photos? I've seen them elsewhere on the web and am trying to track their source so I can get clearance to use them in our show. <br /><br />Thanking you in advance for any assistance you can provide,<br /><br /><br />Caitriona Cantillon<br />Visual Researcher<br />INVENTIONS PRODUCTIONS INC.<br />409 King St. W.
