Compensated Endorsements

[Just Another Hired Hand]

In an earlier post I mentioned an ad featuring Joe Walsh in Guitar Player Magazine. I just got this month's Guitar Player and Glenn Frey appears as a spokesman for Ernie Ball Guitar strings. I tried to scan both ads, but for some reason magazine paper doesn't scan well. I compromised by taking digital pictures of the ads. Magazine paper doesn't photograph too well either. I may try this again in the future, but for now I am offering the results.

The Joe Walsh ad is page 4 of the March 2009 edition.



The Glenn Frey ad is page 1 of the April 2009 edition.



If some one knows a better way to share photos (from a magazine) I'd appreciate you passing it along. Thanks and enjoy!

What happened when you tried to scan them? That's how I always do it.

Regardless, thanks for sharing these. They're great!

My scanner works like a copier. It involves the use of bright light. Because the magazine paper is glossy, the end result is an extremely washed out picture that looks like it was crumpled or rippled when it was copied. I am at the end of the light intensity adjustment. I checked Guitar Player online but they don't post their ads on their site. For a long time you didn't see many ads featuring the Eagles. Since the tour started I've found them or the individuals endorsing Carvin guitars, Carvin bass guitars, Takamine guitars and now Ernie Ball strings. So for now it's digital pictures...until I break down and buy a better scanner.

I was thinking, since we've got photos of all the Eagles, that I'll move it to the Eagles forum. Doing so right now!

Joe says Carvin is the only guitar that fits his large hand the way he likes it, and he likes the sound so I guess that is a reason to endorse their product and Timothy was curious about their product when they asked to make him a guitar and they let him design the guitar just the way he wanted it too! So like you said it's a win win situation.

I have the same advertisement with Glenn 's quote in my newest copy of 'Accoustic Guitar'
