I’ve got the RG321, been playing about a year. I’m 36 years old,…but still a student of guitar,(never to late to learn i guess). I bought my rg 321 for about $270 from Musicians Friend. It was a way finer instrument than I expected for the price. The neck is amazingly smooth and thin. I played on a les paul awhile back,….ACCCK! The big fat C-shaped neck! I can’t handle that,…not with my small hands. Anyway,….I’m looking at a Jackson Dinky as one of my next,….hope it doesn’t dissapoint me,..as it has alot to live up to compared with the Ibanez.

I have always owned 1 guitar at a time. Just one. I have pretty much owned them all…….except for anything Gibson. I find the necks uncomfortable.

Being a big Van Halen fan I am into the Peavey Wolfgang. But recently I have been getting into Schecter Guitars, and own a C-! Exotic. What I like about it is the versatility. It has 2 independant volume pots, and coil splitter/tone. The thing does strat to hell and back.

I like pretty much anything line 6 or behringer make for amps. I am a fan of getting as much as i can from one box, so those amps fit the bill. Although Marshall does have a combo with effects built in….I think it is a MGFX or some;thing like that. I kick ass too……..but has no clean sound of any value.

COOL SITE DOLAN!!!! Take care guys……

Don’t worry about being a blog hog. That is why I put it here, to give fellow guitarist a way to share info, tips, tricks or whatever they have on their mind. I think your point about playing a different guitar to force you to think about how you play is a very valid point. I know when I play my guitar synth I have to play much cleaner than I do when I am just playing my guitar. Plus I think, “OK, how would a sax player play a fill right here?”

Playing differnt genres of music also will assist in the thinking process about how I play.

I would like to mention something else..tho i keep 7 gtrs ready to play, on stands,pluged in,,some others i have put away in their cases and rotate them into the line up..diffrent gtrs do make me play diffrent stuff and styles,and its neat to play one you havent played in 4 or 5 months,,kicks in the creative juices…A cool thing ive been doing for a lond time is with my strats ive got multiple pick guards with p.ups/controls mounted and wired,with quik conect ends on the grd. and jack wires,,so when i change strings i can change motors in a snap..no soldering,snap/unsnap and go…at this time ive got 3 of um fitted with 1. fender/2. emg/3. mixed[duncan,dimiz,fender]…no 5 way switch,i got 3 mini toggels in a off/on config. so i can get all 7 combo.of all 3 pickups…man,ive hogged the blog way too much…forgive me my friends…peace…strats
