Well, there's about 10 instruments, synths and guitars etc. and I haven't got any pics on them...yet hehe. Should get on to it as soon as possible. But I wanted just to check first if there were anyone else among us computer maniacs who also plays or own music gear.

Hmm, I've got a few guitars lying around..

pr0digal jenius · Jan 11, 2006, 02:03 PM

Recently sold all mine as I don't play any more.

but I had a white Tama rockstar drum set with Sabian B8 cymbals, a pearl concert snare, a cheapo fender guitar i never really learned to play, and we have a Yamaha Calvinova piano at the house too, as well as an antique autoharp

Two guitars (one el, one accoustic, sold the third), two harmonicas, do drumstics count?

No pics

ahh crap, you got a 59 les paul or somthing, right...

oh well, here's one of my baby's anyhow.
short of ridiculous custom built jobs , I've played about every guitar under the sun, and I'd still choose my gold SG as an everyday 'pick up and play' guitar over any of them.

this is a terrible pic, but we're in the middle of re-decorating, and it's the middle of the night.

1954 Fender Esquire (NOT Telecaster)

I hate you

I got a quite nice cased epi to photo yet, but nothing on that

How does she play?

How does she sound?

damn, I hate you

**Vikingod** · Jan 11, 2006, 08:45 PM

Well, she's just about the LOUDEST thing you ever heard. Only one, single coil pickup, but man does she wail. Great action, easy to play, hell she actually plays you. Problem is, its hard to take her anywhere, because of her value. Every once in a while though, I'll get her out to get a reaction from people.

For those that don't know, she is VERY rare. They were realy only made for a select crowd of pro's that liked the twangy sound of the single pickup, very few are still in existance (The only one at the RnR Hall of Fame is from the Yard Birds, and its smashed!). Do a Google search for more info (if there is much on them). If anyone is really all that interested, I can elaborate.

I have other guitars, but none are quite as good a specimen as she.

niceguyrichy · Jan 11, 2006, 08:49 PM

I have to ask how you came to own her?

and post pics of anything else nice you got, I'd love to see

Dark Lord · Jan 11, 2006, 08:55 PM

closest thing ive got to a musical instrument anymore is my corvette. she makes some very nice music when im out cruiseing.

as for real instruments, i dont play anything anymore. used to play clarinet (1 year at school) then i played sax for 4yrs? 5yrs? i dunno, either way it was for band at school... also took up guitar for awhile but that didnt last too long.

pr0digal jenius · Jan 11, 2006, 08:57 PM

Well, I got that guitar from my father, who bought it for 150.00 when he was young. Its a good story. He wanted to buy a brand new Vox (that is what the beatle endorsed), but the old woman (knowing the guitar was rare), talked him into buying that guitar, which was probably 14 years old at the time. He kept it, not even knowing how valuable it was and gave it to me when I was 9 or 10 to take lessons on. I used it for a few years and decided to do some research to learn more about it. Needless to say, I bought something else and started taking a bit better care of it after the research.

Some of my instruments are at other places (parents, friends, an old studio). I still have a few nice guitars and some other things around, maybe I can take some pictures tonight.

Dark Lord · Jan 12, 2006, 12:27 AM

being a complete idiot to these things.... dare i ask how much it is worth?
