My collection

I own a few instruments. I started playing guitar when I was six years old (which was about ten years ago; now you know how old I am *gasp*) on a no-name 1/2 size nylon acoustic. I later graduated to a 3/4 size Dauphin nylon acoustic, and I recieved my first electric guitar for my 12th birthday.

My electric is a Fender Stratocaster standard, made in Mexico. It was a new guitar, but I'm not sure exactly when it was made (I'm guessing around 1999 or 2000). It's black, has a maple neck, three single-coil pickups, tremolo...the basic package. I'll try and put up a picture of it sometime in the future. I haven't fooled around too much with it, although I plan on upgrading some parts in the future, like the pickups and the bridge/nut.

Right now I have a laboring Ibanez Tone Blaster 15R (15 watts, basic preamp stuff w/ reverb). It's done a good job until recently, but the nut of the input has been breaking off recently. Also, it's not really loud enough to use during a performance, so I may have to get a new amp soon.

Regarding effects, I have an Ibanez TS-9 distortion pedal and a Dunlop CryBaby wah, neither of which I use too often. I don't have a pedal board, nor a power supply, so it becomes kind of a hassle to set them up for a show or even for practice.

To sum up my guitar collection, I received a Guild acoustic after eighth grade. It plays well, although the neck is a bit sticky and I put way too heavy strings on it, but I still use it with some frequency.

I also have some random instuments: a few recorders, a harmonica, tin whistle, hand drums, stuff like that. I really focus on guitar, though. I'll delve into my favorite styles of music soon.
