Guitars 4

This guitar is MINE, not the original guitar. I have (very poorly) painted it. It has a loose knob, and an unresponsive bridge pickup. I have been slowly but surely customizing this guitar to my revisions, and even though it IS in fact a train-wreck of a guitar it is still my favorite. It's kind of, sort of my Frankenstrat.
This guitar was in a starter pack that I obtained for an early Christmas present. In MY pack I got a tremolo bar that unfortunately didn't fit. Other than the tremolo and cable (which gave out in like one-two months) this guitar has played and worked with me perfectly since I restrung and fixed intonation. Mine is in the wine burst finish.
I got this as a Christmas present, I found mine at Goodwill for about 60 bucks. It came with a strap and a bunch of stickers that were already on the body, but besides the price tag, I love this guitar and the stock pickups are pretty well made for being and Indonesia made guitar. I planning on upgrading the pickups after a bit of saving.

Amplifiers 2

It IS a good practice amp, but I'll probably be getting a newer more professional amplifier, here soon.
I love this amp, I got this for Christmas 2018. I have used this amp only since I've gotten it. The modeling options are vast, and I love the fact that I could sit in front of it and make presets for hours on hours without getting bored.

Effects Pedals 4

The most versatile piece in my setup. Probably the balls behind my entire tone.
I mean what else to say, this pedal can sound almost like a Small Clone, but more than half the price.
I really don't know what else to say I mean its an excellent delay pedal, but shortly after using it I didn't really think it matters with my style of music, I can knock down the repeat and make it have a nice creamy reverb.
I don't really know how to use a wah, like, at all, so its a great wah for a player who can't use wah very well.

Strings 5

My favorite Ernie Ball strings, aside from Heavy Bottom Skinny Tops.
I used these on my Lyon and the gauges are roaring. These strings WANT to be used for distorted hard rock, as well be versatile enough for a clean jazz tone.
Excellent pair of strings but when I first started restringing I accidentally snapped the 10.
My second runner-up favorite's to Elixir's.
By far my favorite acoustic guitar strings. The price tag might be iffy for some, but totally worth every penny. The coating feels like it never wears off, it grows calluses quickly with a considerably less amount of pain.

Music Accessories 3

I like these picks because they don't wear away as quickly as others, the ONE thing that I don't like about these picks is they only come in one size. Blue is my favorite of these.
A classic pick that can't ever be replaced.
Extra heavy's are always a good choice for strumming broad chords.

Microphones 0

Nothing in this list yet.

Drum Sets 2

I have an Accent by Ludwig kit that my grandfather gave me, he was very experimental with his drumming so it doesn't look at all the same, but it still plays amazing. It has three cymbals, 3 toms (including dampened floor tom), 1 snare, and 1 hi hat setup. The whole set is solid blue except for one drum, the snare is blue sparkle.

Cymbals 0

Nothing in this list yet.

Other Gear 2

I got this ukulele for my birthday, probably the prettiest ukulele I'll ever own.
It is a very nice soprano, especially for the price, and the first Fender product I ever owned.

Had 1

I got this guitar as a Christmas present from my mother, I had it for at least 4-5 months before I brought it on a family trip to Michigan, I had leaned it up on the hood of the van and through the hours of moving things up and down through the hotel to the parking lot. I left it out overnight and it was unfortunately stolen. Along with pages and pages of music, my Nirvana sheet music, my capo, and a headphone adapter. (Possibly even an entire pack of Earthwood strings.) So yea. I got it used from a local music shop called Ellsworth near my town, whoever had it before modded it and it had a cable port. My mom accidentally got an acoustic-electric without even knowing.
