I've been playing guitar very "on-and-off" for about 20 years, although actual 'playing time' probably works out to only a couple of years' worth, sad to say.

At present, I have four guitars:

• An Ovation acoustic/electric, which I bought as a demo model about 4 years ago.
• A 1932 Martin C-1, which was given to me by my grandfather about 20 years ago.
• An old (probably late 70s) Aria "Les Paul imitation".  Not a bad guitar, but I'd like to get a better one.  I've been looking at the Ibanez series for a while...a co-worker is trying to convince me to get a 7-string...
• An Ibanez RG570 Electric (color: Vampire Kiss), which I had been wanting forever and finally bought in September 1999.
• An Ibanez 4-string electric bass that's actually been on loan to a friend for a year or so...  *:^)

Other equipment:

• A Fender Princeton Chrous guitar amp...pretty decent sound for a solid state.
• A Peavey bass amp, with the "Black Widow" 15-inch speaker.
• A Digitech 2120 Guitar effects process (with footpedal), which I got in September 1999. Nice...very nice!
• An ART guitar effects processor - I don't remember which model, but it's one of their low-end ones.
• An old Hohner electric guitar amp.  It has a great "clean" sound, but an awful overdrive channel.

Elsewhere on these pages I have a list of some of my favorite guitarists (and other musicians), and a general music page.
