I have both kinds of guitar. Charvel and Jackson ;) 5FX and a Dinky. Both w/Floyds
, The 5FX has a ToneZone. Boss GT Pro, SL20, CE20, RE20. No amp and direct to board from the GT as I just entertain myself. No gigging here.
For you beginners, here is a good start...nice Aussie guy http://www.justinguitar.com/en/BC-000-BeginnersCourse.php
Aww, I’m no good on guitar... I can bang out some movable jazz chords, a blues shuffle, and a few Chuck Berry licks, but that’s about it :)
I think my hands are a bit too small to ever be great at it, so I switched to keyboards and just focus on that now.
I have a Gibson Les Paul Signature T Gold Top, a Fender HSS Stratocaster, and play through a ‘68 Fender Deluxe Reverb amp. I use DigiTech RP500 for stage effects, along with an POG.
Here’s a nice Robert Johnston-style blues by Keith Richards I heard this week, I like it:

Usually you think of Keef grinding those rock n roll licks, so it’s nice to see he has a little range.

Bluegrassers love Martins, I have two D-18’s.
You’d mention bass players, but were too busy gigging to post much.
:-)
I’m a hack when it comes to playin but I’ve had a blast making and hacking on 3 and 4 string cigar box guitars. Lest you scoff, have a listen to what one can sound like in the hands of a real player:

Bump for later. Wanna talk about my new Pro Junior and upgrades!
I sold off everything except my Carvins over the last few years. Too many dollars tied up in high-priced PRS and Taylor instruments that I rarely played.
I lost all my stuff in a tragic boating accident ...

Got two Vox Pathfinder for my stereo rig and a Tech 21 Trademark 60 for practice....love that amp.

Don’t know anything about guitars, but my favorite player is John McLaughlin.
In before someone else mentions Steve Howe
I’m down to my old 70’s Guild electric (can’t remember the model, but it’s the telecaster clone) w/ crate G20 XL amp... And my beloved small bodied flat top, a ‘77 Guild F20 SB... Also still have an old Pan large body guitar, but it needs heads and some fret work to make it useful again... Used to have a decent Gibson Bass, and an Aida Banjo too, but time and circumstance took them from me.
But the one that will be there till I die is that old flat top. I love that guitar. If the house is burning down, save the network storage, the family Bible, and that guitar... then go back for the dog and the old lady (if there is one).
Mostly played country, outlaw country, southern rock back in the day...
