    It has a black body with a natural-colored (clear) neck. The pick-up cover and the palm rest are chrome.

    I've been pleased with the way it has handled the years, especially considering my move to high altitude. I thought the dry air would create problems with the finish or keeping the neck straight.

    It's definitely my favorite of all my instruments.

    I recently purchased a Hofner CT Club guitar (semi-hollow) that my friend and I both play. I used my Musician's Friend car, and he's paid me cash so I can make the payments. I still play it more than him, and I wouldn't doubt that he gives up trying to learn and gives me it after the summer's end. It has great sound, real quality for 400 bucks (it's originally 1,000 -- but Musician's Friend kicks ass) -- and I'm very impressed. Love the Piezo sound you get out of it being a semi-hollow, and I dig those acoustics. It rocks well for the blues and jazzier stuff -- but isn't the kind of guitar you want to play metal or hard rock with. It's pretty versatile. Here's a few pictures.



    You can check out the others here.

    Hofner's are bad ass. Just ask Paul McCartney!

    As far as future gear goes: I'm in debt right now and just started working, so before I get any more new gear I have to get back into the + category with money. I hope that next summer (it was originally this summer) that I'll be able to get a nice tube amplifier and cabinet (I'm thinking Orange Tiny Terror with a 2x12) and perhaps another guitar to go along with my ESP and Hofner. In reality, it'll probably be longer than that.

    If I go into the Peace Corps as planned, they have a limit on how much stuff you can take -- so I'll probably just get a cheap acoustic, play my heart out wherever I am -- and when I get back to America, use the money they give me to get some better stuff.

    I know that when I get a house down the road, I'll want to make one room a studio just for music. I am so excited!
    Awesome guitar. I really want to get an Orange amp soon. But that would mean i'd have to buy an electric guitar that doesn't suck...

    For right now I have 3 acoustic guitars, 1 electric (can't stay in tune so I never play it), and a mandolin.



    This is one of the acoustic guitars and the mandolin that I got for Christmas from musicians friend so it's a Rogue brand. Really good deal, only 100 bucks for them both. The guitar plays extremely well for one this cheap. Sounds great. The mandolin plays pretty good although 1 of the strings broke while I was trying to tune it when I first got it and I haven't replaced it. I can play a few chords on it, a Dance Tonight by Paul McCartney is the only song I know...it's like the ultimate mandolin song. It's fun to mess around with even though.

    One of my other acoustics is an Esteban. And it's not very good. I haven't played it in a good two years since I last broke one of the strings. But I also have a guitar that's really old called a Carlos that I think my dad had or found or something. I've searched the intenet to read about it and there's next to nothing about it. This is all i've found "The Carlos Guitar brand stems from Korea. A series of models have been produced and many early models were hand crafted.The manufacturers continued to handcraft guitars up to the late 1960s, the last said to be some of the earlier Model 249 guitars." I dunno, but it's a really really good guitar and still gives off a great sound. I've been wanting to fix up the dents and stuff in it because with some new strings and stuff it'd be really really good. It's the guitar that I learned most of what I know on actually so I intend on keeping it/fixing it up.

    My electric is like some generic brand that looks like a stratocaster. I'm sure I could get it to sound good, but it's hard to when it goes out of tune everytime you play it. I never really mess with it because i'm too lazy to tune it every single time. Which is probably the reason I love acoustics the most.

    As for my wishlist of guitar gear and stuff...

    I'm in love with this Gretsch White Penguin. It's pretty rare from what i've read; Jack White plays it in the video for Icky Thump. It might be a White Falcon that he's playing, but they're pretty much identical



    I would also enjoy an Epiphone Casino.

    As for acoustics...can't go wrong with a Taylor. Dunno what model or anything...I can live with basically any acoustic as long as it plays decent and stays in tune. I played my friends acoustic that she has before and I love it. It's an Ibanez of some kind. It sounds great.

    This should do for an amp or two..

    Awesome man.

    Yeah, I think that Gretsch Penguin is up on Musician's Friend, but it's way out of my price range.

    If you're going to go for an Orange amp, spend the extra couple hundred bucks and get a tube amplifier. Tube's really the only way to go -- but their cheaper, solid state Crush series amps aren't bad either. I was playing out of the 15W Crush for most of this year, it's pretty radical.

    I have that same Rogue mandolin as well, I really enjoy playing it!

    Hopefully when you get the flow, you'll get the gear you want. I'll show you some of the stuff I really want soon.

    I used to play the clarinet, but would really love to play the saxophone. Got to play around with one a few years ago and fell in love with it, now I will save up to get a sax and some lessons.

    I love it when I hear someone who can really make a sax talk.

    Did you ever hear Danny Gatton's group? He had a guy who could turn a sax every way but loose!

    Love that band...They were the Offbeats in the 60's and I loved "Trouble in the Mind," (Danny and John were teenagers at the time)and now they are the American Music Company Band. They did "Mustang Sally" sometime in 2004 and I loved the sax! John Broaddus plays the sax in that band. BIG guy!

    What's your set up like man? I definitely would love to get a set of turntables to pair with my friends Akai MPC-1000. Plus some other bells and whistles we got. That'd be rippin'!

    I'd like to get a good turntable just to play my collection of 33⅓'s again.

    In fact, I'd like to find out how to rip them so I could put them on CDs.

    2 Technics and a DJX-500 mixer. Used to have 4 Technics and 2 mixers set up for when the homies stopped by but had to sell them for rent a while ago... I also have a Boss br-8 and a Boss br-1180 multi track recorders.
    I may have put a pic or two of an my old setup in the pics thread....happy huntin'.

    I have been wanting a MPC for years but just can't manage the funds to get one!!! But once I do my beats will be more bangin' than they are now.

    Top, Circut City (I'm sure others do as well) sells a Turntable that you hook up to your computer and can digitalize all records, tapes, 8 tracks, etc you want. Pretty easy to use also.
