Sometimes I really wish I could play the guitar.

Starting was the best fun for me. You learn at such an incredible pace compared to later.

It's got a really fat ass but it's got a fat, warm sound too, especially through a 25 year old tube amp. Distorted it sounds like a freight train or a meat grinder grinding nuts and bolts or something; very thick and crunchy. Clean, it's clear as a bell, still warm and gives good sustain. It's a semi-hollow body which I think helps those warm tones along. Pickups: 2 humbuckers.

My acoustic is a 30 year-old Alvarez that is a real beaut soundwise. Best sounding acoustic I've ever played. Hardest acoustic I've ever played, though. My dad bought it when I was about 5 and gave it to me when I was 17 or 18. I'd have to take my own pic of it, since I don't know the model number to try to find anything about it online. I don't have a camera though. My dad had an internal mic installed for amp hookup.

Bumping this because I just remembered I actually have something to post from the pictures thread.

Anyways, it's a Fender Strat, if it's not obvious already I'm a left-handed freak, and it seriously sucks getting stuck paying $50-$100 extra bucks for ANY guitar just about, not to mention we get nowhere near the selection you rightys do. The Strat is not all that good of a guitar (only 21 frets, stock pickups are meh, and the tuners are unreliable), but I've learned everything I know on it, it's my baby. The things got a ton of battlescars, the biggest of which is (you can't tell in the picture) the headstock snapped completely in half, it is bound with industrial strength wood glue.

I have the same guitar as above in the same color, only without the left-handed-freankness.

[arjue]

hehe, when I find my digital camera, I'll show you what a left handed freak really is

Some pictures of other guitars. Bear in mind that everything useful is up at my studio right now.

These kinda suck.

First off is the Danelectro U something or other.

I got this cause I wanted a guitar to fool around on at home. Same deal with the amp. Its not a bad guitar... I just could never imagine playing live on it.

This is one of my favorite guitars... its a "Harmony Stratotone". Yeah, I've never heard of it either.

Its old, it sounds like crap, the electronics are tempermental, and its currently unplayable (look Ma, no bridge!).

However, I have never seen another one, anywhere, ever... so that makes it kind of special, or something.

I have a matching Stratotone amp that sounds much like a vacume cleaner, but I'm not sure where it is anymore.
