You bet, but unfortunately I haven't played in ages. I remember walking into Sam Ash as a teen ready to blow cash on a Jackson Rhoads model, and the manager persuaded me into getting a strat with a double coil - - a decision which I was later very thankful for =)

I hear you on the strat. This guitar is definitely a little on the hard side. Would like to get a telecaster at some point, and a strat. Need an acoustic too. And a semi-acoustic. Hehe, uh oh :ugh:

after years of piano, guitar just seems weird and wrong to me

It really bothers me that identical note can be produced different places :eyecrazy:

Yeah I know what you mean about going to different instrument types, although piano and guitar are closer than trombone and guitar. Hell I still freak out trying to read more than one note at a time.

I've been playing for a little while... acoustic only... I'm getting my electric setup for my berfday in 3 weeks. PWN. The neighbors are going to love me even more.

Yeah I was worried about the neighborz. So I just went with a 30 watt 10" Vox tube/solid state hybrid. Should be just fine.

I bought a 500 watt Ampeg amp in college. A 500 watt amp in a dormroom. How stupid lol.

When I get my setup one thing I intend to splurge on is this:

Its like an entire studio in one effects box. I watched the movies they have about it and it looks amazing for a home studio.

Even 30 watts is plenty loud. I really dig the sound of a cranked Marshall versus today's trend of using Boogies - - maybe I'm just getting old :dunno:

No, I agree with you and I'm not old by any measure.

I used to play, sold my whole set up this past August so I could get some concert tickets for that evening.

i've spent waaaayyy too much money on rock gear over the last 15 years (started on drums, moved to guitar, playing mostly drums again now)

i don't wanna list my gear because the list is too huge ;\

Been playing for years. The Line 6 stuff mentioned earlier is incredible equipment. I played through Line6 stuff for years.

I would like to learn Acoustic. Been looking into finding some one who teaches or a book...like 6string for dummies or some such.

My latest toy, while I'm looking like some whiny emo fag:

Line6 makes some good stuff for home recording.

You look like the squirlly mechanic from the first Fast and Furious.

I want to get the custom super elite dimebag guitar... but they are like 3 grand and I would go to hell playing one at my current skill level... or should I say lack of skill level.

Strats are for pussies. Tele's FTW!!!!!

Got a 1972 Tele Custom myself, someday I am going to restore it to its original glory.

As far as Acoustics, I am currently playing my cousins Gibson and saving my pennies to buy a Martin. My uncle has two Martins and I can't get into the same room with them without getting wood (heheh get it? Getting wood...acoustic guitars... :dunno:

nm)

Nice Parv. I havent played in a long time, and just couldnt justify spending the dough on a standard or custom ESP. We will see how this LTD works out. Ive never actually played an ESP guitar, so Im sort of going on faith. My old friend had, still has an ESP bass he played in college. That thing was sweet.

brinstar · Post by **brinstar** » Thu Nov 03, 2005 10:46 pm

ya it's weird, the older i get the more i prefer tele over strat

Parv, you look like Richard Kristie from Howart Stern. The perverted guy who claims to have the worlds biggest porn collection.

Heavy metal and mullets is how we were raised!
Maiden and Priest were the gods that we praised!
