Do you own any musical instruments?
I have one. It is a guitar I bought at Ludlow Guitars in NYC and was owned by a British Rockstar named Wendy James. It sounds amazing. But, I thought my high IQ would enable me to be a musical savant and play the guitar immediately, but it took much more work picking up the skill than I expected, so was frustrated. Do you play any musical instruments? It must be a nice stress reliever.
I'm good at the bongo. Percussion is cool.
No I just sing/scream for my music project
I used to own an adjacent business and have a small collection of collectible guitars. A lot of pieces by well known luthiers like Uli Teuffel and then some stuff like the OG collectible Ibanez JEM/UV models.
I plan to have a piano in my living room to impress my guests and honor my tiger mom’s legacy (fond memories of 4yo me breaking down into tears and getting scolded at every evening)….not that I will have time to practice anyways.
I started playing guitar when I was 8 years old. Between then an college I built a decent collection of 5 guitars, but stopped playing during college. COVID hit and i started again. Ive sold all of them at this point but my B.C Rich Mockingbird, im never selling that baby.
I love the old BC Rich USA guitars as well as the Japanese ones but they're hard to find and very expensive.
I'm obsessed with guitar and have been playing for about 10 years now. I'm not nearly as good as I should be as I wasted a lot of time getting caught up in collecting vs. playing when I was younger but now I practice diligently for at least an hour a day. It's definitely not something that comes easy to me and I find it very difficult but guitar is one of those things for me that has a time warp effect. I can sit down and play/practice and time flies by ridiculously fast.

One amplifier, a 1989 Engl Straight 100 as well as a dozen pedals from all sorts of manufacturers.
It's a very addicting hobby and like you mentioned, it can definitely be frustrating if it's not something that comes naturally, but I love the instrument so I play and practice as much as I can. Definitely wish I had been playing since I was a child, however.
Wow!
Can you play Time by Pink Floyd on the guitar?
Whilst I'm a David Gilmour fan, I'm actually not a Pink Floyd fan so I don't know any of their songs, sorry.
I think I just busted a nut....
thoughts on headless guitars?
Not my cup of tea. I owned a custom shop Strandberg Masvidalien many years ago (the original version, not the second Cosmo version) and whilst it was a beautiful guitar from a craftsmanship standpoint, I wasn't a fan of their "ergonomic neck" and I never could get past how odd it looked without a headstock. In general, I think guitars should have headstocks haha.
Yo any chance you'd be willing to share a pic?
I don't have any personal photos but here is one from the interwebz. In hindsight I should have just kept it as they're probably worth way more now since they were made in very limited numbers but I hate holding on to gear that I don't use. All my guitars are in rotation so nothing sits around unused.
Been playing for a long time, not very good but enjoy jamming. Have a few Les Pauls and a SG that I play mainly.
Owned an Ibanez 652AHM from the prestige collection and a Mesa Boogie Mark V 25 amp during college. The tone was so beautiful.
Had to sell when leaving the US. Hopefully, I’ll buy another one after I get a job soon. Been a few years since I picked one up.
Used to be pretty good at it. Probably suck big time now.
I have a Schecter. Best guitar I’ve played, it’s got humbuckers which sound great for metal.
My electric guitar has humbuckers too which is why I bought it. Sounds amazing.
I love Schecter. Amazing quality instruments for less than $1000. And many of the models they came out with in 2010/11 that they don't make anymore are worth more now than they were back then.
Some of you guys have incredible pieces, really blown away (and quite jelly).
I'm a basic bro with basic tastes....Gibson LP Heritage.
Nothing wrong with basic man, especially if it's a LP.

When I was growing up, I use to play Djembe, now I learn how to play drum
