Musicians? (Post your Instruments)

A quick search brought a dated thread with not too many posts. I wanna see some instruments from fellow 86 drivers owners (bass guitars don't count Just kidding)

I've been playing guitar for over 10 years, was taught for the first couple years then I stopped taking lessons and went on to teach myself harder stuff (learning bands like ABR, Texas in July, Protest the Hero etc.). Recently I've settled down. Playing a little more John Mayer, Pink Floyd, RHCP type stuff. trying to write some music along with that.

My first guitar was a piece of cardboard with elastic strings.

My second guitar came out of a Peavey Raptor starter pack

My third guitar was an Ibanez RG42DFX

Great guitar, it was neck through with a very fast and thin neck. Very versatile as well.

My fourth guitar was an RGD 320

Longer scale, kept it in Drop C tuning.

Traded in the last two guitars to get this about a year ago:
Fender Deluxe player's Strat. Made in Mexico but has American Noiseless Pickups. For 800 bucks it was a great deal.



Along with that are my Pearl Target drums, Self taught for about 5 or 6 years now. Maybe more.



I'm in the market, over the summer, to get myself a proper head and cab setup. I was looking at orange but we'll see. I'll most likely bring my guitar to some stores and test out the amps.

I wanna see what some of you guys have.

I'm way to lazy to dig my stuff out of the closet. The whole apartment life killed my playing. I haven't really jammed in 4-5 years. I still fiddle around, though it isn't much fun with headphones. Someday I'll get a house and make a dedicated room. It's amzing on how fast your technique drops after not playing the memory is still there but, the dicipline isn't.

This is my little music room that I have. 94 black label Tele, 03 Epiphone SG, and an Ibanez AX32, Vox AC50CP2 amp (loud as hell), and the little grey box on the amp is a 1 watt tube amp. I can crank it into the cab of the Vox. I have a couple of pedal kits around that I have built.

Wow nice stuff. I played a Vox at a music store and the warm tone I got from it was unbelievable.

Love the guitars too.

Post a pic of the pedals if you get a chance.

I'm eventually going to move on my own in a condo (still only 22) and I already dread the fact that I'm going to have to get rid of my drums at that stage of my life.

Been playing saxophone since middle school and these day I play mostly by ear. Recently learned how to play guitar, and have both an acoustic and an electric. I know your usual chords and I'm trying to learn scales. Not great yet and probably won't ever be.

Pick it up an hour a day every day, and you'd be surprised how much you'd learn and how great you'd be even after a month of doing that.

Learned on Piano, went on to play the guitar. Had an 80's yamaha SE612 and a Zoom Fire 30 modeling amp. Mostly played ragtime on the piano and got the guitar to play stuff like Dire Straits and Floyd. Also hair metal.

No pics of the guitar, but it had "Trouser Snake" engraved next to a crude drawing of a snake. Looks like the previous owner scratched it in with a knife. Best feature of the guitar by far.

The Les Paul is actually "alpine white" but is 25 years old and has sort of yellowed. It is a common thing with them. My son was pissed (he wants to take it) and accused me of smoking in the house. I haven't in 20 years but he didn't believe me and started searching. Sure enough the white ones all yellowed with age.

Woah...


Also I was looking at that LTD at a music store in your first picture when I was purchasing a guitar about a year ago. Thing looks nice.

Amps:

Wax it yearly and soft polish. It wont yellow. Seen old creamy white strats from before my parents were born (1960s) with still original color. When i asked how they still so colorful, i was answered with wax and polish.
