Jesus Christ i'm only 21 and feeling a little old now lol - saying that, alot of you guys seem to like the same sort of bands - Avenged Sevenfold, ACDC. Guns N Roses, Atreyu etc
ON the subject of guitars everyone's started out on, I've been playing 1 year and i'll list what i've gone through(You'd be surprised!)
Westfield Les Paul (Gold)
Epiphone Les Paul Std (Can't remember the name of the colour scheme)
Epiphone SG (White)
Gibson Les Pail Studio (Cherryburst)
Bell & Head Extreme 'Cassandra' (Red and Black) - this guitar is real 80's! No headstock, 2 single coils and a humbucker and floyd rose trem - plays like crap but looks great
Epiphone Explorer 1958 Korina - just put a deposit down on this.
Kit wise not so exotic - had a Line6 Spider II which I fell out with due to numerous technical faults, now own an Orange Crush 30R which does the trick for now with a Cry Baby Wah Pedal (not bothering with overdrives and effects just yet)
