Guitar Players, Show Yourselves!!!!

At most I've owned 5 electric guitars at the same time, now I've scaled down to two.
Fender USA stratocaster equipped with DiMarzio HSS pickups,
Fender USA stratocaster equipped with active EMG's,

I'm thinking of buying another strat and putting DiMarzio Evo's in it (yes I play strictly on stratocasters :P ). But these two have always been my mains guitars and since I rarely switch between guitars during shows I don't really need another one.

As far as amplifications goes, I've owned some half stacks in the past, and old Marshall JMP, Carvin Legacy, Marshall DSL50. But I've gotten tired of dragging these things around and the high maintenance cost. A couple of months ago a bought a Vox Tonelab LE and it really blew me away. I run it through two Tech 21 amps and have never been so satisfied with my sound.
The Tonelab has pretty much all the effects you need (I never use any anyway) so I only have four seperate pedals which are two Boss NS-2 noise supressors, a Boss TU-2 tuner and a Crybaby wah.

So far for my guitar setup. I also own some other instruments like two pianos, a double bass a MusicMan bass and some keyboards. But the guitar is my main instrument so I only play them for fun. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.

By the way, nice to hear from you again Andrei :)
An immortal unbounded by fate.
...and amidst the clouds of the melodically similiar
a rising force rips through
with incredible asunder
the cross of chains on his left
and timeless gold on his right;
a Fender in both... faster than the speed of light.
Di Stefano

:twisted:

I'm really into Explorer shapes and Flying Vs hence my first eyecatch on the Scorpions. Love the picture of Rudolph with the Vs in a circle around him. Now that I have 9 Vs I'm thinking of doing one like it. :shock: :roll: :twisted: :lol:

Music is the best. I too have the badge of Collector over player but I'm working on that daily.

I read your signature Antunes and laughed because I recalled when I met Klaus, Matthias, Rudy, Herman, and Frances in October '79 and was SHOCKED they couldn't speak very good english. :shock: :o

It never occurred to me because the singing was so good. :lol: :twisted: 8)
Didn't matter we all had a good conversation and laughed. 8)
