Any guitar players here?

[reggie]

Any guitar players want to reveal what gear you own, what you like to play, Are you Gigging musicians or Jam buddy players? I play the Blues/Classic Rock with a Fat Strat plugged into a VERY sweet 5 watt Tweed Swart Space Tone. No pedals, Strat straight into Amp. I have a few buddies I jam with regularly. I play an Acoustic as well. Lets here from you. :music2: :music2:

Reggie, I play piano at church. I play with some pretty good musicians (contemporary worship music like Chris Tomlin, Gateway Worship, Hillsong, Phil Wickham, Casting Crowns, etc..) We like to get that studio sound first and then play our best! My 19 year old daughter (Who was also my mechanic that swapped my engines out and helped restore our bike) is at Oceans Edge School of Worship at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale. She plays guitar and bass. She has a Fender Thinline, Talyor 214E accoustic and a Fender Jazz bass. She also has a pedal board of all of the usual pedals!

Here she is playing the Taylor in a piece she wrote for her school homework:

:music2: I play, but I'm no longer a player...if that makes any sense. I do still have a mid-'80s Fender Strat, and a Fender F-5 acoustic. Matter o fact, I bought a new hardcase for the Strat Saturday for me berfday. Mama kept trying to talk me into buying a new ax, but I declined....I never pick anymore anyway. The place we went to had a SWEEET, original Gretsch White Penguin...sure was tempting, but too much $$$ for me. :music2:

I play bass primarily, but I've got a few guitars also.

Here's the stable:



Since guitars are what this is all about I won't list the basses.

1. Early 90's White Fender Mexican Standard Stratocaster with white pearloid pickguard and Seymour Duncan Hotrail in the bridge position

2. Late 90's Midnight blue Mexican Standard Stratocaster with blue pealoid pickguard.

3. Early 2000's red sunburst (custom) American Standard body with Mighty mite neck (ebony fretboard) and EMG 89 in bridge position and all cavities filled.

4. Crafter Electric acoustic

5. Mini Martin

I don't have an amp right now because I don't play guitar. I do play bass with a great group of guys, we play covers and aren't looking to do anything more than have fun. I played bass previously in a band that was trying to make it in the music business and that REALLY left a bad taste in my mouth for the industry.

Keep rockin'!

You guys have some pretty nice gear! :good: I play guitar, bass, ukelele. I can also play pedal steel guitar but I don't currently have one. I've got a 78 Les Paul deluxe hiding under the bed, 2 Carvin guitars, a tele, a Ibanez bass, a 40 year old Yamaha acoustic, a Fender Strat, a Cordoba uke. I got a Risson 1250 as my main amp, a small Marshal combo amp and my first amp, a Kalamazoo Model 2. I use a Boss GT3 pedal board currently. Oh and I forgot I have an SWR Redhead combo and a small Carvin bass amp. I played mostly in church worship bands, did a few sessions and worked as record engineer for a time. Maybe I'll post some pictures later. I play blues, country and a little jazz :music2:
