From the google window, click the word "images" in upper right:
google_.png


You'll get this screen.

Click the camera and it will let you enter the URL or upload a copy of the picture you'd like to locate. You'll get a bunch of similar pictures. Some will be from the "dealer"

Tom, If I right click on that image once a little box opens, one of the options is ..."search google for this image"...click on that, and hey presto!!

I've only recently discovered this tool myself, and it's very useful indeed :salude

Unfortunately, as I mentioned, nothing like that shows when I right click on that image.

Tom...do you have Google Chrome installed on your computer as a search engine? That may be your problem if you don't.

And, I just tried this and did not get any similar images. They were all of different guitars. I opened one and no info about a dealer showed.

The way it works it is searches for similar images, so all those images come from the dealer's website, and some of them have the name on it. Thats how we all found out the dealer. We are all google detectives :ganz

here's my search result using the whole guitar shot seen at the top of this screenshot:

What you get are a few shots that look similar and have the business logo.

No.
It once installed itself on one of my computers and screwed it up completely, so I avoid Google Chrome.

As you see in my post above, I used a different photo [the headstock] and it did not give me anything that led to the dealer.
I think there must be more to this, and you guys are just holding back on the explanation.

And by now, I would have thought somebody would have said the dealer's name. But that's still secret also.

This has turned into a silly diversion from the original idea of the thread.
I had thought I might be able to help, but I'll drop it.
Too much secrecy and RR has ignored my questions anyway. :eek:la

Right click on the photo...it's one of the options that pop up. After you do it, do as Billy Idol does, and give a Rebel yell!:hee
AHAA! Rebel indeed! Rebel Guitars. I actually got the impression people were scared to say it because of litigation. Anyway I'm 12000 miles away so up yours Rebel Guitars!
