A sneak preview of Neil Zlozower’s “Six String Heroes”
The recently-released book “Six String Guitar Heroes” is a collection of some of the best guitarists’ portraits taken by the legendary photographer Neil Zlozower, also known as “Zloz” in the musicians’ circles. In addition to an interview with the photographer they posted earlier; folks from LA Weekly have now uploaded a selection of photographs from the book itself.
The photograph of John can be reached on page five of the selection.

Does it say when that pic was taken?
Ari
The Falcon looks huge in that picture!
Alex
I think it was probably 1999, but I wouldn't be 100% sure

@Ari – I noticed the same. It didn't look that huge in reality on a concert, so I assume it's the angle?
@Alex, @Roy – The last series of linked scans is indeed from 1999 and the photos used for that article are from this very same session. That's why I wrote that they're "strangely familiar".

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/electric_g… There says the sizes of a 2004 white falcon (for my opinion the perpective and the angle, no only of the guitar, also John's angle and camera angle), but i played a gretsch archtop, and they are big guitars. Actually the with falcon it's a very long guitar (25.5"). I hope you understand me, if my basic inglish isn't very good, my technical inglish… hahaha.

I believe the guitar is not a real one and it's just a humongous copy for the sake of the photo.
