What Ya Got?

In honor of April also being International Guitar Month, I thought I'd throw this post out there for all of you guitarists. Even if you're not a guitarist, you have to appreciate these fine instruments. There's hardly a tune out there that doesn't have one playing in it somewhere (I said hardly :)

What kind of gear do you got?
What's your favorite axe to jam out on?

Here is what's currently in my gig rig:

* Ovation Celebrity CC026, 2003 Electric-Acoustic
* Ibanez Performer PF-400, 1977 Electric
* Fender Stratocaster, custom neck and pickups, 1969 Electric
* Jackson Performer w/ reverse headstock, 2000 Electric
* Steinberger Spirit, 2006 Electric

I find myself mostly playing my Ovation (which rocks if your an electric guitar guy) and my Strat (gives me a little different tone than my other guitarists).

For you non-guitar owners, you might not understand this but each guitar feels, sounds and plays differently and I have used them all depending on the situation/song/mood.

So, what ya got? Classical? Country? Rock? Metal? Jazz?
Whether you're a newbie, a veteran, a closet guitarist or you play every weekend - what's your fav to play?

Peace.

Mike,

Despite evidence to the contrary, drummers are musicians, too!

Tama Starclassic EFX, warm sounding birch shells, Sabian AAX cymbals all around, Tama Roadstar hardware, Iron Cobra double pedal...

All I need is a roady to help me carry around all this stuff!
