I've been playing for nine years through an Ibanez to a Strat', and several acoustic guitars - steel and nylon. Ibanez/Crate amps. I play anything from folk to death metal depending on my mood. Lately though - as someone said above - I've been playing a lot of my own music. My best comes out with the acoustic; writing complex, mellow pieces. Playing thousands of power chords in drop d got kind of old. Bass is also a refreshing once-in-awhile thing for me, although I've never had one myself. Both great instruments. Pichacho, my dad had a nice SG. Personally I've always wanted a sunburst Gibson Les Paul though.. with a Marshall half stack haha. Never got around to buying one, though. Maybe one day.
