I play guitar, or did, not so much anymore after I had surgery last september on an old wrist injury, I can't fully rotate my wrist yet (or ever, who knows). I still play now and then so I don't forget, but I'm really not happy with my ability anymore. Still, I have all my stuff, couldn't sell anything. I've tooled around with an old Harmonica that I have. Have a couple odd instruments that I can barely play, but I like to keep them.
Guitars:
Fender Standard Fat Stratocaster (Mexican-Made)
Piece of Junk Semi-Hollowbody, think its 'Johnson' brand of something. I keep it because it looks great on the wall.
Washburn DS-9 Acoustic - Love this one, and got it cheap, discontinued, I think.
1/2 Size Nylon Screen Classical - Was like 30 bucks. Strangely, probably have played it more than any other guitar I've had, its so easy to just not worry about it, grab and play for a bit. I don't think it even has a brand on it.
Squire Affinity Stratocaster by Fender - The 'by fender' part here is pretty loose. Most of these are made in a factory the same as a lot of other brands in some Asian Country. This was my first Electric, and, as it came, wasn't that good. About a year after I bought it, one of the pickups stopped working, so I replaced all of the electronics with stuff from Carvin, and this guitar honestly, sounds better than my Fender, I could detail the pickups and stuff if you want. In Short, I'm very impressed with Carvin, and if I wanted a pro-quality Electric, I'd go no further.
My amps suck, but I love my Guitar Port by Line 6. That, along with my laptop, and your average home theater system can create some awesome sounds. If I was going to by a large amp (and not get something with Tubes), I'd probably go with something by Line 6.
I have a few other assorted instruments, like a cheap mandolin (that actually sounds pretty damn nice, what little I can play on it), and I actually have a Celtic-Style Harp, looks something like
this. Can't play much on it at all, but mostly because I still am fairly horrible at reading music.
Wow, long post.
