Thanks dudes, I made the guitar man.. 16 years ago now. Couldn't find any left handed guitars in my local shop when I wanted to learn to play the electric so I built one in woodwork when I was in the 8th grade. I drew up the shape myself, but it's kinda halfway between an SG and a FAT strat. It weighs a shit ton. The intonation is a tiny bit crap - I wasn't real good at routing the neck cavity and stuff. But I've done it up as much as I can over the years, and it sounds pretty good. One of these days I'll put a new neck on it. I learnt alot making it, and I've been planning to do another one for years and years, but I never seem to get around to it. The shape is a little "neck heavy".

I tried to keep the photo to "this is my stuff I gig with". Same philosophy with the pedals - anything that doesn't get used goes on the home board, or to the basement to the "I may need this one day" box. But yeah Ryan, I like to keep em small so I can get as many sounds on there as possible. The exception is going to be the coming Subdecay Flanger DLX, which is going to be huge. But I don't care. I love flange, and I love Subdecay!

I've got another 2x12 with Celestion V30s (don't really dig them that much) and I'd planned to roll with 2 2x12s, but the other guitarist in the band has "borrowed" it for the last few years... But seriously, it is soooo much nicer playing 2x12s than 4x12s live. Saves my back ;)

You should totally wear that thing all the time. Like, to work, and at the dinner table. You would be :yay: constantly.

The 45 is there because, well, cripples don't run.

And a can of something is essential if I'm too engrossed in working to get up and make food, let alone to get up and get food.

A sign of a good recording night is well, a stack of cans under the desk.

I'm finding I can never record when I'm plugged into my full setup but if I just use Guitar Rig I could finish a song a night. It's annoying.

Same dude. I need to get some amp mics though, because some things just don't sound the same when I run my pedals into my computer
