I only started playing in 2011. So I bought every bit of guitar gear I own in 2011!
Michael Kelly Accoustic
Albion TCT 35
AMP Maker British Overdrive 5w Amp Head Unit which I put together from kit.
First Electric was an ESP EC1000 and I fitted Fralin PURE PAF PU's to it. I have since sold that guitar as the Strat is just SO awesome in the clean range.
Fender Strat USA with Jumbo Frets- bought from DomHatch - SWEET
VOX SC 55 in black is my FAV at the moment. It seems a bit more difficult to play than the Strat, but I think it could be due to the longer scale length or perhaps the Jumbo frets (on the Strat) ? HOwever, the range of tones with those split PU's are really great!
Boss RC3 Looper
Blues Driver - HOfner
My BEst Piece of kit though is the Justinguitar DVD Set I bought.. ?
The Practical music book he put together is the bees knees and really made all those lessons I had as a kid clear as daylight. (I managed up to Unisa grade 4 on the piano in 1984 at school...) NOw I finally understand chord construction etc etc etc.
I love the journey of learning the guitar. NOw I need a practice partner or a real teacher !
You've got the right idea... it's all in the playing unless you're solely a collector. DVD is a good start but a teacher to kick you off is top of the list!
Awesome gear btw, have fun!
