Great Tech
I was a ProTools user for the longest time running it on a Mac from 1997. In 2010 I decided to upgrade the studio and move to Logic and I decided that after I saw the demo of this device. I've recorded several songs using this pedalboard paired with the guitar features in Logic. Amazing and super useful.

My First Amp
This is the only amp I own, currently. It's the first guitar amp I ever bought and it does the job. With the Fender F.U.S.E. app, you can connect this amp to your computer and download more presets, even custom presets made by other users. Great versatile and loud amp. Good for small spaces or jamming in the garage with the band.

Underrated Rocker
I found this guitar while searching for something unique to add to my collection. After reading several reviews and watching a video, I decided to hunt one down.

Funk Master
This is the second purchased of the two basses I own. Great piece; looks great and sounds amazing.

Great First Bass
This was the first bass guitar I ever bought. Classic shape and style. I still use it to practice, but I have since added a G&L Tribute M2000 GTS.

Beautiful!
I always wanted a Les Paul, but when I first started buying guitars in 2005, I bought my second guitar which was an Epiphone Gibson Les Paul Standard in Trans Blue. I didn't think I was ready for a real Gibson so I started with that. I could never get that guitar to sound right, it sounded "ugly" to me. I explained this to someone and the advice I received was that if I didn't like the way that guitar sounded, I was ready for a Gibson. I bought a 2006 Gibson Les Paul Studio in Vintage Mahogany. I liked it a LOT better, but I wasn't in love with it. In 2013, I traded that in for this Traditional Pro. I was originally going to buy it in Wine Red, but I saw the Pelham Blue version on the top row of the wall at Guitar Center and fell in love. This is one of my most prized guitars. While the neck took some getting used to (I like a thinner neck), the sound that this thing makes is amazing.

Classic.
I own the 1995 version of this guitar which I bought used. It comes with covered Humbuckers and an ebony fretboard. The tuners are Jin Ho and the first and only guitar I have that uses them. I had never heard of them before I bought this. Great look. Great sound. It's a classic, through and through.

2014 120th Version
I acquired this guitar through an even trade of a pair of Technic SL-1200MK2s. It came brand new with a checkerboard pick guard and the original pick guard. I chose to leave the checkerboard on. My first Les Paul was an Epiphone Standard which I bought back in 2005. I never liked it. I traded it in 2006 for a 2006 Gibson Les Paul Studio Vintage Mahogany, but I never really warmed up to that either. This Studio, for some reason, is 100 times better than the Studio I bought back in 2006. I like the neck much better and it's very "pretty". This guitar also came with a Gibson Modern Vintage Leather Strap with Memory Foam Pad. I really got a great deal on this considering I had three pairs of the SL-1200MK2's and could easily part with one set.

Radical!!
I own the 2008 issue of this Explorer. I got this guitar because it was on my "Bucket List" of guitars to collect. When I first pulled it out of the case it felt a little awkward due to the shape. Once I put it on and started playing it was so much fun. I got used to the shape much quicker than I thought I would. It definitely was easier to play than my Flying V. Sounded great and was light enough that I didn't notice that I had been playing for almost two hours.

My First Acoustic
I bought this to write music with. It's a very straight-forward, inexpensive acoustic guitar. No frills. Noting great about it, but it does the job.

My First Acoustic Electric
I bought this from a coworker who was unloading gear so she could move to NYC. It was the first acoustic electric I ever bought and think possibly the third or fourth guitar I ever owned. I find myself using this to write music more than my cheaper acoustic which I bought for that purpose. The neck on this feels like an electric guitar; It's thin and fast. I wish I could find a nice simple acoustic with a neck like this.

Pretty Slick
This is the first of this type of guitar I ever bought. It was on the used wall of Charlie's Guitar Shop in Dallas, Texas. It was missing the tremolo bar, but what attracted me to it was the sleek body shape with contoured top and back. I had never held a guitar like this. I also quite like the non-laquered finish in flat black paint over the wood, revealing the grain. Being a Gibson fan, I instantly noticed the difference in the playability and the sound. It was really easy to make it squeal and playing note to note almost had a more lighter and digital quality to it. Definitely not used to this being that my favorite guitars to play are Gibson ES-335s and Les Pauls. It's light and fun to play, also good for metal.

Simple Rocker
I bought this guitar cheap off of the used wall of Sam Ash. I really love the simplicity of it and the sleek, flat finish and style. It has a single Seymour Duncan Humbucker pickup which I have not be able to identify the model. It's light and quick and perfect for hard rock and metal.

Classic Look and Feel
I don't play this guitar often. The Bigsy tends to take it out of tune to often and the sustain isn't very good. It's more of a collectors item for me as I bought it from a friend who was trying to get rid of it quickly.

My First Guitar
This was the first guitar I ever bought myself. It's an excellent copy of an ES-335 make in Korea from the Japanese company Tokai. Even after adding more guitars to my collection this was my goto axe for the longest time. It's a great guitar with a rich tone.

Very Rare ES (Cherry Red)
I discovered this guitar while looking for my first classic Memphis ES-335. I wanted something unique and found this guitar to be very rare and hard to find. It is an ES-335 through and through, but does not have f-holes or binding on the neck. It looks similar to the BB King Lucille model. I did a search to see if could collect the black and white models, but they are VERY difficult to find.

Happy Birthday To Me
I've wanted an ES-335 in sunburst for years. Several years passed and I've collected many guitars, but on my 46th birthday (August 2015), I finally dropped the coin for a brand new one.

2014 Model
I bought this guitar new, online, in the middle of the night. I saw an ad of what I thought was a 335, but upon clicking I found this Midtown. I don't really like the ES-339, but this guitar is the perfect size between a Les Paul and a 335. The neck is perfect, the ornamentation and usual custom embellishments make this truly a beauty to behold....and play.

I really liked the original midtown from 2012 and 2013 with the hamer-style tapered headstock and P90s. But damn if your midtown custom ain't purdee.

I recently traded this for a Gibson Hummingbird Pro. I own 7 ES's, five of which are 335s. I also own 7 Les Pauls. I decided I just didn't really need this in-between style of guitar as I ended up never playing it, but still love it for what it is and how it looks.

2008 Faded
I recently bought this guitar used (August 2015) and it arrived in excellent condition. I couldn't believe it was a seven year old guitar. It was a little weird taking the guitar and and experiencing the balance due to the radical shape, but once I put it on it was so much fun to play. I played for a straight two hour with it.

2005 Model
This is another of my least played guitars. It feels different strapped on, but it sure is a looker. I'm not sure I'll ever get used to the shape or I'll play it a lot more, but I'm glad to have it in the collection.
