Ive seen a few randomly, but post here and lets chat about it...

or if you dont play, chat anyway!

I have played on and off for the last 30 years. I was homeless for 6 months last year and forced to sell all of my gear, including my beloved Fender Strat that I had owned since 1986. A couple of seeks ago I was given a BC Rich Warlock by my therapist. Her son was a musician and had passed away recently. She said that he would have wanted his guitar to go to someone who would enjoy it rather than be sold for profit. When she heard the sadness in my voice when I told her about having to sell my instruments, she decided I was the perfect candidate. It feels so nice to have a guitar in my hands again. Something funny I noticed was that when I presented male I could have never pictured myself playing such an instrument with such an in your face design as the Warlock. Now I feel totally comfortable with it. It took me since I was 12 years old to figure out, it wasn't the outrageous looking instrument that was the issue, it was picturing myself as male that was the problem.

Play a bit. Not well.

I love guitars. So now I repair them.

I've been playing since I was around 13 years old (I'm 42 now).

I've always been kind of a metal head and still love the older 80's metal that I grew up with.  I still play my guitars but don't have nearly the time i used to have to do so.    

Hopefully someday I will, I love playing in bands and miss it a lot!

Fender Strat here. Fender Precision Bass too. I played in a rock band in my youth prior to my change. I also did vocals which I'm not inclined to do anymore. I'd love to get back into a group and play bass. My principal instrument now is the cello. I play in a symphony orchestra. As to music genres, I'm not picky. If it is good music, I tend to like it. Of course what I consider "good" is very subjective.

I picked it up in the 6th grade and played recreationally since high school. Picked up a Jay Turser Ventures replica with a bigsby last year for my collection. Mainly play an Ibanez with the Floyd Rose. My first was a semi hollow Harmony electric. Love 60s, 70s and 80s rock/metal. Iron Maiden is heavy metal opera! It just doesn't get any better...  😊

I play. Electric mostly, since I was about 13. Have been in some bands over the years, including two all TG (mtf) bands.

 I have been playing since about 13 I am 56 now.  Still have my first real rig, Marshall 1959 super lead and  70's strat with the big headstock and 7.25 radius, still my favorite guitar and amp. Some people say the 70's starts are junk but this old hardtail rocks.

Those guitars could be worth a small fortune!

Somewhere along the line all my gear became vintage.

I have the worst guitar of all time

Norlin era, 1979 Gibson Custom, ebony and gold

everyone on the web hate them... best guitar I have ever owned

I play a Marshall JCM800 and a Splawn

Gibson LP, Strat, Peavey Tracer (my Floyd Guitar), LTD EC1000

I have played for about 25 years, my vintage peavey kicked the bucket (could be repaired im sure) I have a little joe satriani mini colossus tube amp and a line 6 to mess about on. Gibson LP, Epi LP and some bc riches

Anne in the chat has something like 60 gibsons

I've played since about 2007! My fleet is currently in its downsized state. My main guitar as of late is a Seagull (God in) Entourage CW GT acoustic, but my favorite electric is a 1996 model Ibanez JS100 in this beautiful one-year-only Atlantic Blue. Licensed Floyd Rose, DiMarzio humbuckers with a coil tap I also still have my first guitar, a Jay Turser SG copy that I still enjoy playing with all these much more refined instruments and a 60's Tiesco Del Rey Tulip that I inherited from my great uncle, I was the only family member that played after he passed so I was chosen to take care of it. The neck is so bowed that I'm afraid it's destined to be a wall hanger, but it's a cool guitar regardless.

Still have my Harmony Stella 3/4 from when I started playing in 1974. I had a Cortez goldtop Les Paul copy with Grover tuners,  Dimarzio pickups,  and push/pull pots for coil switching,  but it was stolen in a burglary in 1982. I have a pre-lawsuit Ibanez Les Paul copy,  an Ibanez Strat copy with a nut extender I use for slide,  a Daisy Rock semi-acoustic on loan to a young lady learning to play, a Danelectro dead-on '67 baritone, a traveler eg-1 I keep in my office,  plus a Fender 6 string acoustic and an Ibanez 12 string.

I've been playing for 40 years,  but I'm only so-so. I like to play,  though.

I play some

Those old Tiesco's make pretty good slide guitars even if the neck is bowed, I have one tuned  DADGAD.

I love alternate tunings    I have an old Goya (Martin knock off) that I tune to a BF#BEG#B or C#

It's one of my early guitars and comes complete with a small caliber entrance and exit hole from a drive by shooting

I tend to find odd things to use for a slide, lately I've been using a 4&1/2" x 2" piece of glass with a skeleton hologram inside it

I have a few other guitars as well

What, not one sample of music in this thread? I want to hear everybody playing! 

Hugs, Devlyn
