Guitars!!!!!!!!

[George VII]

How many people actually play the guitar here? What is your favorite guitar? How long you been playin'???

I have an accoustic Epiphone (20 years old, but in perfect condition), but I really like to play Fender Strats, and Gibsons, anything in the Les Paul series. -Jon

I have been playing guitar for...almost 10 years now.

I have three electrics. BC Rich Warlock, Kramer Focus 6000 and an Arbiter Les Paul replica. The Warlock is the best of them, altho since I put a new pickup into the Les Paul it's very close actually.

I have been (if you can call that) playing it for 5 years or so.

I have a Peavy electric and a Washburn electric/acoustic.

I couldn't play solo riffs to save my life, but rhythm playing is a different story..

I have a Aria Pro RS Knight Warrior 3 I have been playing for 16 years. I love it. I done a 6 year rock circut, and played it the whole time. I also have a cheap Cort bass, ugly color, but sounds OK.
Been playing for 30 years in june, I'm 37, done it since I was big enough to reach the end of the fretboard.
I also do alot of recording, I will give you the link to my pic, if you promise not to laugh, it's not finshed yet.
BTW, i was tuning the piano, I have all the pieces, it was built in 1896, and sounds schweet!

my speakers http://www.bbmusic.bc.ca/peavey/5150slantcab.html

i have been playing for about six years now and I just bought this amp/speakers off my friend about a month ago and I tell you my negihbors dont like when I am playing all that much. I also got a peavey special 212. and that 212 is an awesome amp...


what all music do you guys play and anyone around pittsburg?

I've been playing bass for 13 years, guitar for five. I've got an 81 Gibson Q80 bass, black on black (used to have black tape strings too), a Peavey Patriot bass, and a Series 10 Tele fake that rocks hard for a single coil. I play the basses through an Ampeg BR2 head and LHF 4x10 ported cabinet. I play the Series 10 on a vintage Fender Bassman 100 on the Normal side, and a Big Muff Pi foot box through a vintage Fender 215 cabinet. Other than some other misc cabinets, that's all I got.

My live band plays hard, heavy rock: Metallica, Megadeth, Type O, Nirvana, et all. My recording band plays more modern poppy crap which you can download at your own risk from http://whir.alsherok.net/killer.htm . My own personal stuff sounds sorta like Tool, but not nearly as good since they rock and I don't.

My favorite guitar to play, though I don't have one, is the Gibson SG, ala Tony Iommi. I was trying to save up for the SG Gothic, but some computer things got in the way.

Been playing about 40 years. Just wish I sounded like I've played 40 years. My son has been playing clarinet for 4 years and has a better ear than I do.

I own a 35-yr-old D28 and a 25-yr-old D12-20.

Been playing bass guitar off and on for about 6 years. Bass is a Fender Jazz. Amp is a Hartke Kickback 12, with paper cone. As far as a favorite, ????? I have only had one bass and I like it a lot and have had no reason to get another one. The only thing I have changed are the knobs, which are jumbo chrome.

Been playing for about 7 years, right now ive got a cheap epiphone acoustic, a Washburn B2 Electric(blahhhhh I hate it) And my baby. An Alverez acoustic electric artist series with a cutaway and Sunburst finish. The sunburst is front, back, and sides. The sunburst goes all the way up the back of the neck. Its a beauty. Im torn between loving the way it looks and wishing it wasnt there because on my guitars I usually sand off the finish on the neck and just oil it because I dont like that laquered feel on my neck while im playing. It makes my hand sweat and stick to the neck.

And I am sooo jealous of you JnMHayes. If someon breaks into your house and only steals your guitars... It wasnt me. Honest.

Wow! I didn't know there were so many guitar players here! THWEET!

This summer (when I will finally get a job), I am going to get an electric, but I am not sure what kind. I can't afford a Gibson, unless it is an Epiphone, but there are some sweet ones I can get.

My top list:
Fender Telecaster, humbuck -
Fender Strat, single coil-
Epiphone, SG body (not sure of specifics)-
or an Ibanez that is pretty sweet (even though I don't really like them) - it is copper colored, with some awesome distortion.
Out of all these, the Epiphone SG has the very best distortion/OV/fuzz. -Jon
