    Not a great photo.  I don't think he will look quite as cabbage patch doll-like in real life without the guitar face, but it does make him look like a Spitting Image puppet.

    Young by name but not by nature alas. 

    What a career though. 50 years odd playing just the one song near enough.

    Angus must have the best guitar face ever! He mouths every note and bend.

    Nah - that accolade belongs to Robin Trower.  The gurner's gurner.

    You make a valid point of course - indeed he does!  I'm 5'6" and even to me Angus looks small.  
    But an SG isn't really that small a guitar, it's just thin and light.  The body width, especially the upper bout surrounding the neck pickup, is wider than a Les Paul.  I like SGs a lot, but sometimes I see a picture and I think the body looks too wide... it's not as "perfect" a design, visually, as an LP, Strat or Tele.

    For some reason I saw you as a strapping 6 footer with a prison chest tattoo.
    Funny how you create an image in your mind of someone...

    A sort of longstanding joke between me and @Offset. ;All my own fault.

    But as I mentioned on another thread a few weeks back, this picture of "old, skinny Rick Derringer" really does look quite a lot like me...

    He’s better than Hendrix and demands a re count because everyone is against him illegally.

    Ha ha - maybe 20 years ago , but 40 years ago I looked more like this (dwarfing windmills)

    Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

    @FelineGuitars - You haven't actually changed that much (just going from photos of you on your website).  Easily recogniseable from your youthful photo.  When people wore watches to tell the time and photos were square and printed on dimpled paper.  Quite a clean cut handsome lad, and that's a nice looking garden.  The photo I was drawing the cheeky comparison from is the one you posted elsewhere in the forum of you in the company of the owner? of Shadow Electronics.
