I play:

Fender Stratocaster
Ibanez Acoustic
Yahama Acoustic

I usually play with standard e to E tuning, but make a drop-D quite often too.. I'm about to buy a new guitar soon, as soon as I have the moneeh.. :) I'm prolly gonna buy a PRS Tremonti SE or a PRS Santana SE, like those two very much.. I like to play Metallica and bands like it, but I actually play almost everything you can play with a guitar.. I've played since I was 9 years old, I'm now five weeks from 18..

well I'm not really playing on my bass for now as I have to get it repaired :(
It's a standard 4-string Ibanez SoundGear, I use standard tuning too because I'm too lazy to tune it differently :P

I've got a spanish guitar (not a big brand, but good guitar), an acoustic Ibanez (too lazy to look up the model #, but is is pretty rare) and a simple Squier Statocaster :)

Woa! The Frankencaster! I wonder when the Holocaster will come;););) And blackmailing you dad for that SG seems like an excelent idea!

Bail, you rock. I know three chords also!... except my magic 3 are G C and D. I can play the opening little diddy to a Foreigner song, the opening to Stairway, Time's Scar from Chrono Cross. I have my uncle's old Electra electric guitar, a light pick, my aunt's practice amp, and my dad has some acoustic's downstairs. I'm really going to try and learn how to play that thing...

Oh, and standard tuning all the way! Especially since I know no other.

I have a pretty crappy Squire strat that I can't wait to get rid of(nailing it to the wall, as every guitarist does with his first guitar) and getting a Les Paul. I prefer Standard tuning or D A D G B e. I play mostly metal(hehe try to) and rock, like AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Children of Bodom, Mayhem and lots of other bands, those are just the "main" ones.
Oh, yea, I play drumms to:empire:

Yup. That's why I hate all pop-music, Pop-"musicians" and pop-listeners(Hating means WANTING TOO KILL THEM ALL!!!!! well almost killing them, maybe just severing them, you know, snapping some fingers, tearing out some vocal-chords, making sure that they never preform again)

The guitar I play with the most would be my Gibson SG Custom from 1974, walnut brown and custom 3-pickup setup, yummy. Then there's my Gibson Les Paul '52 reissue goldtop from 1975/1976 (the one with the hot trapeze tailpiece and the soapbar pickups). For slide guitar I have an Ibanez Artist AR100 from 1980 with a raised action and thick, .15 strings on it for nice and smooth slideplay. My acoustics include Ibanez AW electroacoustic with a cutaway, Landola 12-string, National Style 0 resonator guitar from 1932 (!!!) inherited from my grandpa :D. Then I have one Wyatt Wilkie mandolin and one Gretsch Lap Steel for that Hawaiian sound :)

I play Ibanez, all the way :D

My line-up includes an Ibanez S1625, an Ibanez S1675FM, an Ibanez JEM555, and an Ibanez RG1520GKBK with a roland GK synth system. :D
Though I play guitar, I also play a bit of bass - I have an Ibanez SR905 five-string Bass, which is awesome.

I keep both my S series guitars tuned to D (standard, a full step down), my JEM usually goes between standard, and standard a half step down.. the RG stays in standard. The bass is tuned down a full step from standard, too. :)


lol, i want your income. :P

I want Geddy Lee's Signature Fender Jazz Bass. I think those are better than the Rickenbachters.

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a Rickenbacker bass that Geddy used to play in the old days, they're really nice. I also wouldn't mind getting one of those double-necks both he and Alex used to play.

I used to have a bass, an Ibanez something or another. I could play a few Rush licks on it but that's about it.

I sure miss my piano...:(
