    You might be interested in this Flickr Strobist Group thread: How to light a guitar for a professional look?

    Note how flickr member Ignats uses a frosted vinyl shower curtain to get pretty decent results. I'm not sure how glossy Charles's guitars are, but a very large light source positioned relatively close may help.

    No it isn't. Turn them off and BYOL (bring your own light).
    We're a Canon/Profoto family: five cameras, sixteen lenses, fifteen Profoto lights, too many modifiers.

    They are custom ordered and quite valuable. He wants to take no chances.
