[Red Flag 1]

Gents,

In looking at bios, there are more than a few guitarists out there.
What is your axe? Acoustic or electric? What do you like to play? How long have you played?

I started in 1965, all acoustic, played 12 string Stella, Framus, Hofner, and Guild D-312, never should have sold the Stella! Today still have Framus and Guild

Six string Martin HD 28, and Martin D 35. Two nylons for grins ,easier on my arthritic fingers.

Cut my teeth on Kingston Trio, stuck in that genre with PP&M,Croce, Denver, Lightfoot, Chapin, etc, etc. Spent a lot of time in church groups, and played in several no name groups that got some gigs then turned into group therapy. Still play a bit each day.

Ive had a Washburn acoustic since I was 12. Started playing electric, had a telecaster that was great for blues, but always went back to the acoustic.

I have an old Gibson knock off that my dad gave me. I just recently changed out the tuning machines, and replaced the crappy pickups that came with the guitar, to Seymour Duncan's SH-2 Jazz Neck/SH-4 Bridge Hot Rod set. They have a beautiful warm sound, along with the high end to cut through the noise and clutter. I have to tone down the high end so it doesn't hurt my ears.

Glad to see I'm not alone.

I've been playing Ten years or so..started when I was 15.

First guitar was an Ibanez RG250DX. My Ran custom is my main guitar. It's a 7 string flying V I hade made for me over in Poland. I have a customized Ibanez RGT42, and an Epiphone 7 string Les Paul. I just recently sold my ESP Stephen Carpenter sig..had to pay off the FN SPR

My music of choice is brutal death metal...yes....BRUTAL Death Metal. I love all music however, especially classical. For my money though, it is the most challenging and rewarding music for me to play.

I also admin a forum and website dedicated to death metal as well.


BTW, the black V is the Ran. The green guitar is the ESP I recently sold. There is no longer an EMG in the Ran either...I have an awesome Lundgren M7 installed now. You just have to love swedish engineering.
