So what gear have you got?

Over to you.
I'm a musician, I have three harps but didn't chip in as no one knows anything about them to be impressed/otherwise If I sold them all i'd be able to buy a Panigale (and I threaten to often when things aren't going well!).
Not got much - A Greg Bennett Ukelele (won't stay in tune), A 1984 USA Strat A 2010 Martin DC-16RGTE A 1978 Marshal MV50 - it belonged to an ex-mate who gigged it hard and I bought it in 2000 to give it an easier life An old upright joanna A WEM Copycat Just gotta learn to play now.......

I'm really interested.... how often do you guys play? Are you in bands, keen amateurs (much as I hate that phrase!), teachers, general interest etc? I know guitarists often have many different instruments for many reasons/seasons, but what determines what and when you use which instrument?
PRS 25th Anniversary Custom 24 'Angry Larry', Fender Strat deluxe HSS, Olympic White, Takamine electro acoustic, Crafter 12 string acoustic, Line 6 120 watt amp ( far too powerful for my use ), Marshall G15CD amp, Yamaha THR15 amp. 10 and 20 metre swimming badge. Never been out of the house with any of them. I can play bits of everything and in my own style.
View attachment 9414 View attachment 9415 View attachment 9416 1st one is the 1961 strat, second is the '56 custom shop and the third is the one i wish i'd never sold, a 1963 original 'selmer' fiesta red strat
View attachment 9417 View attachment 9418 View attachment 9419 1st two pics are of the 63, the third pic is my old mate Hank..he looks virtually new in the pic but actually has a LOT of weather checking and the finish is much paler and muted in the flesh... Daphne is still my fave..she's a very unforgiving guitar but is the one i always return to...sort of feels like home..when i trundle behind the velvet curtain to be cast into the fiery chasm from whence i came, she's gonna burn with me.
I sold two of the three I had a couple of months ago cos I just never get time to play them anymore :frown: Still have my Strat though. :smile: It still doesnt get played :frown:
hehe glen....sum right royal rockers there..(and the acoustic consigned to the back)...nice quilt top on the Suhr.
Aye, not a lot of ballads being bashed out here :wink: TBH the Zakk has been sold since that pic. Just found I never played it due to its physical weight.
Have built up a full Stewart Copeland circa 1980,s replica kit. Tama Imperialstar ( the full monty including octobans and splash cymbals). Give them a good thumping at least every other day. Also have two Ovation acoustics, which unfortunately, rarely get picked up these days!
Wow,some very nice instuments,love the Suhr and those old Strats too..So who's going to be the first to put some you tube clips of some of those instruments in use then.
Got a Roland SH09 mono synth from when I was a lad circa 1982. Wouldn't know wtf to do with it these days. Kept it in case the kids ever got musically inclined, but just sits in its box in the loft. have to say, some very nice looking bits of kit there, to my very un-musical eye.
