Hello there peoples!!!

I have been playing guitar for a few years now...can't remember if it's 3 or 4 years now... :?
Started off on an el cheapo acoustic guitar that I got for Christmas, it cost like R350...hehe
After a few months I went and bought a squire strat and peavy rage 158 off a guy in waverly...
Played that for a year...bought a DS1 and BF3 at some stage...
Later I got an Ibanez SA36DRS and a Hughes and Kettner club reverb.
Then I got a GT8 and gave the DS1 and BF3 to the band I was in.
Now I have a Epiphone Les Paul (JAJA I Know it's no gibson, but I like it...wana upgrade the pickups....) it's BLUE!!!!
Still have the GT8, but now have a Marshall DSL401...

So I stumbled across this forum and figured I would join up and see what I could learn...and maybe teach some peeps...
Oh ja...If you need to learn how to plastic weld motorcycle fairings get hold of me (had to learn how after I let mine fall over..hahaha)...

So I have basically been in my church's worship team since I started playing electric...and that's what I do now...not in a band of any sort besides that...had a difference of vision with the one I was in... :-\

That's me...for now...

You're a generous person! Anybody can buy guitars.... giving them away is completely different matter.
