Do you guys play something?
Any pictures of your guitars or other instruments that you might want to show-off here?

I have a nice basic acoustic I strum on from time to time. Can't play too much because my hands cramp up. :(

I have the following....

Premier drum set
2005 Candy Tangerine Fender Deluxe Telecaster
Seagull, Dreadnaught, acoustic
Early 90's Ibanez, Iceman bass
(no photos readily available of those)

And my favorite guitar, a Phantom Guitarworks, "VOX", Phantom guitar which I play in my band The Phantom Scars.



Oh, and I still have my first guitar, a Squire Bullet Strat, lol

Jealousy rears it's ugly head when I hear people talk about playing instruments. In sixth grade when musical instruments were first assigned, I was one of the last to go through the line and while all my friends snapped up cute little flutes and clarinets, I got stuck with a trombone. Whether I truly have no musical talent or just really hated that trombone is still up for debate, but by seventh grade the band director and choir leader were arguing because neither one wanted me. They continued to argue into eighth grade where instead of playing, they made me the "fill-in" girl. I learned all the band's parade routines and when someone didn't show up for a parade, I was handed an appropriate instrument and pretended to play while I held the empty spot in the formation. In the end, the only "instrument" I play now is the nose flute. LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj6G0vSrv8c

My 1970 Guild that I have gigged with for years, had a pickup put in and it is a beast, heavy solid wood and it purrs!

Would be nice to have a look at the Iceman bass. I plan to have an Iceman guitar in the future. I'm just not that much a fan of electric guitars, matter of fact after 16 years playing acoustic and bass I just got me a "starter" guitar (like yours a used Squier Strat -see pic below).

BTW, just saw your band playing Feelin' Ripped Off on YouTube. You guys rock!

Sorry to hear. Myself, I was assigned violin. Had to sell it earlier on this year, although I kept it with me for almost three decades. Never really clicked with the violin, but the thing that stayed with me all these years, if any, it's some sort of respect for musical instruments.

Not a big fan of sunburst finishes on acoustic guitars but WOW!, a Guild acoustic can sure deliver the sweetest sounds one can imagine. My favorite acoustics (apart of Martin and Gibson) are Guild, the solid 70s/early 80s Japanese Ibanez, and also the early BC Rich guitars.

Here's my gear. 1982 v302 Ibanez acoustic, Axe bass, starter Squier. I used to play bass in a Rolling Stones' tribute band. Now I just play to relax. Hardcore country, 70's rock, some pop, and latin ballads, too.
