Id imagine there's gotta be some 6 string, banjo , mandolin, brass or percussion players in here. If so and you wanna show off some of your instruments id love to see em.

Here here ... that is a lovely guitar !! Ive got a few myself . Been playing for a long while

Add 3 to this since this pic was taken ... These are mine and my middle and youngest sons stuff . Nick , my oldest , probably has half a dozen at his place and is a professional player , singer , songwriter in LA

Im a Telecaster player , mainly , but one my newest guitar is this Epiphone George Thorogood " Whie Fang " Hollow body . The pick ups are like hot wired P90s or something , its an incredible guitar and does what my Tele doesnt , which isnt a lot , but it fills the void . I really dig it . The orange Amp is great too . I generally play out of a Marshall dsc40 bt its a tube beast that weighs like 75 lbs . I prefer the orange for small gigs and screwing around at home

The middle is my American Tele that I play the shit out of . The cheapie fender on the left is a Fender Starcaster that I snaged for 50 bucks to take traveling for work back in 2019 . I brought that and a black star mini fly stack for the hotel room ... it sounds a bit starocaster ish . The guitar on the right I bought in 79 or 80 and is an Electra MPC cartridge guitar , which were sued by Gibson and had to fold . Other than the pick ups not being screamers , its a hell of a guitar and I played that for almost 2 decades until I went Tele and never looked back . The neck on the Electra almost looks like its scalloped because I wore it out , lol . Its retired and has really seen some shit

I have many acoustics , its ridiculous , but the Yamaha Jumbo is my favorite . Picked it up in 88 and was my main player acoustic until I went acoustic guitar nuts and then I played certain ones for certain tunes

I pick a little here and there. I’m not a musician that’s for sure but I have a pretty substantial collection. A few acoustics, 2 strats (Mexican), a Telecaster a couple of amps (fender blues deluxe) and a Marshall along with a few small practice amps. I had a Gibson Les Paul classic but I gave that to my father for his birthday/ Father’s Day. It was too damn heavy and the neck was too fat for my little lady like hands anyhow.

Les Pauls have a different feel for sure . I think Dickey Betts solo in One way out live at the Filmore [ East , I think } was either a les Paul or SG ... if it was a Les Paul , it was the best a Les Paul ever sounded during a solo . But he can get the best natural sound out of one , imho of course

Just getting around to this now . Such beautiful guitars !! It sounds like you both got a hell of a collection! I've had a tele for quite a long time will post pics shortly , a couple strats, and an epi s.g. as well. Lately it's been mostly acoustic pickin on the Martin's. That white fang epi looks sharp how does she sound?

I sometimes dream that I am a great drummer or guitarist and then wake up and realize I have no talent :)

The only instrument I ever played decent was the Wood Block and the Triangle in elementary school. I was a percussionist, you see?

I would love to learn how to play geetar. But that hurts my damn fingers :lol:

Man , that guitar is a screaming bitch ! But its versatile .... the P90s are fantastic and must be hot wired . Currently , i have flat wounds on it and , messing with the tone and volume knobs , Im able to get killer jazz and rock sounds . It plays well too and I really like it I pull it out for certain stuff but I play the Tele 75% of the time . I can squeeze most anything I want out of a Tele and nothing plays and feels better for me , not by a light year
