Not sure if I accomplished anything in terms of advancing the skill, but I sure got tired.

      Who needs more than a bridge bucker and a volume knob amirite?

        That’s my DeLonge style strat in teal and pink. Picked it up at a garage sale for $40 and got new hardware/electronics. It SHREDS now. I like to take it out on the back porch with my little rechargeable amp and rip some tasty licks in the sweet, crisp, summer mornings with a nice fresh brewed coffee.

        I have a good life.

            As far as looks the Yamaha Revstar or Surf Pearl Fender Strat. As far as sound and playability, the Godin Exit 22. It’s the single cut mahogany one. I love my Fenders too. They will always be my proof to myself that “I’ve made it” because I didn’t think I would ever be able to afford even just one. I was but a Squier boy as a young man. The red strat on the bottom was the first guitar my parents bought me in 1999.

      A Revstar in the wild! I have the same color/humbucker in Standard! Now if I only knew how to play it…

        My parents bought me that in 2002. It’s an Epi. I replaced the electronics and put fake inlays in the fretboard. Now the biggest fan of the tune-o-matic bridges, but they are easier than Fender’s for sure.
