Hello all!

Let's see what everyone is playing out there. 

I don't own any classic guitars from the 60's, but I do have a Mexican Fender
StratOcaster from the early 80's. It's bridge pickup is a part time humbucker
with a switch. It can be used as a single pick-up with normal gain or flipped
to a humbucker with increased gain. I haven't seen that configuration on any
other Strat by Fender. I had the swiches and pots cleaned  only once since I
bought it. There is no static when turning knobs or flipping switches.

My other electric is an Epiphone Les Paul. It looks like a Gibson, but that
creamy sustain of the Gibson just isn't there,in my opinion. It has a good feel
and great action, but I tend to want to play the Fender Srat more than
anything.

My only amplifier is an Egnater Tweaker which is a tube amp. I like it fine but
should have bought a Marshall of the same size.

Recently, I purchased a Yamaha FGX800C acoustic guitar. I have been playing
guitar since the 60's and have never atempted to learn techniques on acoustic
guitar. I've learned a few songs now (mostly George Harrison), and I think this
one is going to be my go to for while. The sound of an acoustic can't be
matched, and it's all natural; no FX pedals or over driven cover-ups.

Considering what I just wrote, I guess you can guess I play mostly rock, 60's
and 70's.

What guitars and amps do you own, and what style music do you enjoy playing?

Even if you're a drummer (-:, or keyboard player, tell us what you own and why
you selected it, or what you wish you would've gotten instead.

Regards,

 Joe
