What I got~

Post by SgtSyd »

Hey there! I'm new to this forum and decided the best way to say hello would be to show off my equipment. Well here goes!!

There are all four of my babies! In the first picture, the middle guitar is my first I ever owned. Got it a good six or seven years ago, but back then it was completely red. Eventually I gave it a paintjob, but forgot to remove the pick ups, and thus murdered my guitar. Soon enough I found some new pickups on trade me and got them installed/the whole guitar a fix up. Now it sounds muuuuch better! To this day it is still my favourite guitar. To the left is my first acoustic, but it was handed down to me by my sister. Since she neglected it a bit the neck had "past participle of get" all outta place, was all dusty, and just terrible to play. After a while of tinkering around I fixed it up to the point where it was playable :D The right guitar is a cheap les paul wannabe I got off trademe for like 180 or 200 hundred bucks. I won a iphone from a competition and sold it off. With the money I got I brought a new electric cause I could. It isn't the best guitar out there at all, but it gets a dirty tone and I still love it. The last guitar is my newest electric acoustic. Got it around 25th of may this year and LOVE IT. For 180 bucks I am very happy. It has a gorgeous sound, looks beautiful, and is just great to play.

And that is that. GOOD DAY!
Syd.

Thank you, Cdog! I'm glad you think so! Though they aren't $700+ guitars I still love them so much. :D

Welcome to the forum Sgt!
Trading an iphone for a guitar seems like a good deal to me!

Yeah man! Fun story about winning the iphone. At uni they had this competition where you had to do several challenges infront of a crowd. I got on and had to do a few things. Nothing too hard till I got to the end where it was me vs this chick. They pull out a table with some dishes covered by a paper towel. They reveal it and it's jelly made of vinegar with multiple large sardines within. You had to get the fish out and onto a different plate. So I look at my mate, say I got this, and as soon as I had to go i tore into it and did it. The chick didn't even touch it hahaaaa~

I don't have too much other equipment, just an ibanez phaser pedal, a home made wah, and a distortion pedal. I use a mid sized Marshall amp that isn't too big, but isn't too small. Been looking to upgrade when i get the cash, but I really am terrible at saving money. xD Just got a job at a cafe though so gonna get some more income soon~

I also have a 4 track recorder and a pretty badass electronic keyboard.
