Those of you hosting with Photobucket - how do you accept that huge watermark on every picture?

The main thing about Photobucket, at least their free service, is that you give them the right to use your photo's for any purpose, and to attach ad's to them. Essentially they become their photos.
"Photobucket may manipulate and display your Content as well as obtain image tagging from our vendors to offer the Services (including transcoding and/or reformatting Content) to allow its use throughout the Services. •Photobucket has the right to place advertising, promotions, notifications or identifiers, banners and watermarks on or near your Content, and how and what are up to us." I link to photo's on my Facebook page. No idea if that's better or worse, but i post photo's there anyway, and you can link to them so they are imbedded in your posts here.

With limited pics, it appears to be a heavily modded Gibson, with the headstock decal long gone. Good luck with the pics.

It does look Gibson-ish to me. The headstock shape looks like a Gibson as do the knobs and tailpiece. The jackplate may be a sign of some kind of damage under it.
