If you have an instrument, don't be scurred - show it!
Here's some pics of my gear...
the Ibanez PF5 acoustic was a gift from a ex, so i rarely play it. Its okay, but nothing special. built in tuner is cool....
the Epiphone EJ200ce is rad. especially for the price i paid for it - $300 (and it came w/hsc). i upgraded the tuners to grover imperials to give it a more regal look... the thing plays great and sounds great. except for the fact my daughter knocked it over and in doing so broke the electronics' mount - i need to take it into a shop for proper repair. as cool as the guitar is its not the gibson i yearn for....
I LOVE MY EPI LES PAULS! As much as I wish they were gibson, i get the sound out of them i need/want. I replaced the stock bridge pick ups in both with seymour duncan JB, replaced the stock tuners to grover rotomatics, disconnected the neck p/u & tone controls (I don't use them.... and i can hear a more "purer" sound), and off i went. i got the epis because for the price of 1 nice old gibson les paul with the mods i wanted (specificaly the p/u) cost just about what the 2 epi's + mods did. That, and i play in a bunch of different tunings, and tuning on stage is bad... plus it looks cool when you have a variety of guitars on stage and you use them all!
the noel gallagher supernova is bitchin. its actually my 3rd supernova, though its the first manchester blue model - the 2 union jacks i had (at different times) previously were each traded in for an old single channel marshall tube amp head. obviously i like the guitar - i keep getting them back! i want to get another union jack so i have the set... i love the sound of them. the feel. with some overdrive and some feedback watch out!
the G&L ASAT is my newest guitar. MY FIRST AMERICAN MADE... i have a friend who works at G&L in HB who was kind enough to let me into the wharehouse one night and I got to spend some hours going thru what they had sitting around - custom models, prototypes... everything! It was cool as fuck. this guitar rocks! from the birdseye maple neck to the prototype brindge, to the stamped "M".... awesome guitar that I cannnot wait to record with.
amp wise, i use my princeton chorus for keeping things quiet. You don't want the neighbors calling the cops for a noise complaint.... its a good little amp though that i can trust to get me through small gigs... but i like chaining it up with my big gun... you cannot beat an old single channel marshall for tone. cannot do it. only thing you can do to make it better is add more!!! i like taking my signal from my pedal board, split it into an old analog delay (ibanez ad9 - oh yeah!), and run the "dry" signal to the marshall, and the "slightly delayed/wet" signal to my fender (used to be my old 2 channel mesa triple rectifier.... THOSE WERE THE DAYS!) for an uber thick tone. Yummy.
i don't have any pics of my pedalboard at the moment... maybe i'll take one later... i used to be a "tone whore" and I collected some killer pedals that work well for me. Stuff from Fulltone, Teese, and old ibanez pedals....
so what do you have to make music with?
