In Honor of the Les Paul thread, and the Music Biopics thread I figured...
Why not have a general discussion thread about what you play, how long you have been play, why you play, what style, ect.
Personally I have only been playing guitar since around March of this year, which means I ya know suck.
But anyway, lets post some pics
My first guitar, got it when I was 17, but due to the fact that it was right handed, I never really tried to play it. So it sat for about 3 years in it's case all sad and neglected like. Got it from my ex for about 75 bucks(and semi hard case)

Buriswood? Probably some wal mart guitar or something.
The reason I honestly started playing real guitar was because...as lame as it sounds of guitar hero. My friends would always play it and I would suck trying to play it left handed. So, they told me about lefty flip and then it was on. I realized how lame that was at one point and flipped my right handed upside down.
Anyway, a friend of mine told me a about a lefty guitar at a local pawn shop. Ibenez Gio for 70 bucks. It's the guitar I use for the most part. when I'm not rocking out one of my acoustics. It was pretty beat up when I got it, doctored her up and made her mine.

Johnson 25 watt guitar amp on the left, with the low's all the way off and the high's all the way up, smith(?) 25 watt Bass Amp on the right with the high's all the way down and the lows all the way up. Digitech death metal pedal for when I want some distortion, and my Voxx whammy pedal for busting out some funky goodness.
It sounds surprisingly good for the little amps they are.
Lastly I have my Dean High performer E(Left handed)

I really do love this guitar, it's very loud for an acoustic and its just a generally good guitar.
I also have a De armond restrung left handed that I keep at my good friends house for when I go over there.
Okay enough of me rambling...Post and stuff!
