haven’t played in 5 years due to depression but they make killer wall art now.

Damn Forest! Get them babies down and play! I’m not good but I find I have less worries when I play. It’s my relief.

I got into the Dead recently and they always cheer me up, so I’m gonna send you a song from Jerry that always helps me…not the lyrics but the solo…

drums and vocals for me.
tried to learn guitar years ago but didn’t really take it seriously, drums I took to naturally
I have pondered learning bass guitar… that would be cool but some poorly healed busted fingers may be a problem LOL

My kid just bought the Wayne’s World Excalibur guitar. white fender strat. MIM. Meanwhile, I have an '88 white Squire. and the Ibanez RG570. that’s my daily driver. Other buddy bought a guitar same day my kid did… Yesterday. So. there’s my deja-vu for Father’s Day.

Very nice!
Those mim strats are very good bang for the buck. And that maple neck looks great.

That Ibanez looks nice too. Is that a Floyd rose?

Yeah they are. I had a 1998 sunburst MIM Strat. years ago. B.C. (before children)

Yup. took a few hours of YT videos to learn the floyd rose setup. now I love the thing. my buddy got the Ibanez with the locked bridge. I have my RG570 dialed in for standard and drop-D with the fine tuner. It’s so quick to switch it. and those Cobalt strings. I’m real happy with those.

I like the Ibanez personality myself, never was a fender guy but I always wanted there telecaster were it’s got that twangy bridge pickup for country music.

I don’t like country Music though, I just thought the pickup would add a nice mean crunch to the tone for metal.

I’m not too great at playing but I enjoy putting on some some random music and playing something over it for fun. I wanted to do my own custom guitar so I took this one I had apart, sanded it all down, and taped it up then tried out hydro dipping and sealed it which turned out better than I could have hoped for. Bought some new parts to match/upgrade old stuff and also drilled out the fret markers then replaced them with glow in the dark powder and epoxied over it then sanded that down and finished with a piano key type pattern with darker oil and lighter oil on the frets. All in all it turned out fantastic in my opinion and has a sort of galaxy kind of look to it which is really cool to me.

I want a Fuzzface. The Bonamassa model. But im poor. So i just poke a couple holes in the speaker. Old school method. You just cant turn it off.

Only been here a few weeks since my return and there’s gardening and guitars… awesome!
Heres one of my players Strats…it’s a 93’ Mexican but stands up to my 99’ US Standard in sound and playability!

Id recommend against the mini sized FF. They fixed the jacks, but the bottom is a snap on piece of soft plastic.
I love fuzz. The more transistors the better.
