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.
