I play piano - only classical, Chopin, Bach, Beethoven etc., although I listen to rock music as well. In fact I’m just enjoying some Rory Gallagher on my ipod at the moment.
I play guitar, bass and drums. When I took this job and moved cross-country, I sold my rig, which was an SG Custom with EMG active pickups, a Laney half-stack and about $1000 worth of stompboxes and preamp stuff. I now own a Fernandes Nomad, and I love it. I fly a lot and it fits perfectly in an airline overhead bin.
flurry- Hmmm, not sure I have heard of Harum Scarum. No, that’s just a skull sticker under the A. And the bass, it’s actually a cheap Harmony, but it makes noise, so that’s all that matters. Well, this is the music I grew up on in the early 80’s.
I played Alto, Tenor, and Baritone saxophones in High School. Still drag the ole Alto out of the closet on occasion to annoy the neighbors, but I’m not much good anymore. I also have a didj, but can’t get the circular breathing quite down, though I don’t practice much because I’d hate to anger the neighbors more than I already do.
Guitar & Bass. Had a decent collection that I sold most of, over 20 years ago. It’s pretty much just the Les Paul Junior these days. Hard to keep in tune and the neck can be bent a little for a nice whammy bar effect. It’s my baby, though.

@ Mr_Snuffypants A Les Paul Jr or a Melody Maker is one guitar I wish I had in my collection. They’re really cool! The smaller neck on those guitars can make for some extreme string bending! 
@snuffertony Junior’s are great guitars, especially if you have small hands and sausage fingers to boot! I love SG’s, but due to the Louisville Slugger size necks on them, they’re nearly impossible for me to play.
I have a little hobby (http://www.myspace.com/142688023). Although nothing to boast about my electric from the pawnshop, and the bass from… well, it’s a starter one.
Martin D-16
elganso, my old boss knows a luthier at the martin factory. He sold her one of the prototypes they had from when they were developing the D-16. That’s one hell of a guitar. I am working on a Christmas song (if you can call it that.) for another forum I read, and between my Olympus LS-10 and my Fernandes Nomad and my raspy throat, I have managed to crank out a song with a title that cannot be posted here in mixed company. It’s a Deathmetal tune, kinda bordering on slow grind, about what happens when santa does not give me what I want for xmas. The title of the CD we are collaborating on is “Awful Christmas Songs” I’ll post a link when everything is done.
All this guitar talk and only one photo!?! I love looking at old guitars. Come on lets see em. 
64 SG mint 65 Hagstrom 12 string mint older/never used Dean 12 string Banjo Les Paul copy new but I mostly play with myself…
Wow, lots of guitar players here. I play an old electric Guild M75cs that I got for my 10th birthday (back in 1976) and a few Yamaha acoustics my favorite is a beat up FG-75. In the last 10 years I started playing ukulele , I seem to play UKE’s much more than I do guitars.
30 years of playing, full time in the 80’s. More or less retired from performance now although the odd gig comes up from time to time (my last doing a favour for a mate and playing in a church service!) I play a blues based lead style. I’ve never collected guitars, but owned and got rid of plenty. Now it’s just my trusty old strat that Ive had for years and a beat up Marshall thats had plenty of beer spilled on it.
@ PremiumParrots That is true ! I will have to get a few photos on here as I hope others will too!
Played the piano professionally until, many years ago, focal dystonia ended my career. Much time spent at a neurological clinic in Hannover (where they pioneer a technique for re-mapping digital representation in the somatosensory cortex) together with injections of botulinum toxin into the FPL muscle has allowed me to play works of moderate difficulty, but not to a professional standard. Last professional engagement played three movements from Stravinsky’s Petrouchka, Klavierstück X by Karlheinz Stockhausen and the opus 25 set of études by Chopin. Most repertory focussed on Rachmaninoff Balakirev , Liszt, Chopin and the avant-garde. These days I attempt to play much less demanding music by Soler, Scarlatti and other pieces originally written for the harpsichord on an adapted piano. Considering I was told by more than one neurologist it was probable I would never play again (a simple scale over one octave with my crippled right hand became impossible to execute) the partial recovery has been a blessing. Diagnoses of focal or occupational dystonia amongst musicians, although still rare, is no longer the risk of the professional, and is steadily increasing amongst amateurs as more and more people play an instrument to high standards. Also increasing are the much less serious mechanical complaints such as carpal tunnel syndrome and De Quervain’s tenosynovitis. All of these are associated with overuse. So, all you musicians out there, take care.
Ive got a gibson SG faded, its he older model when they used crescent moons for fret inlays. Ive also got an EXP-LTD-EX400 with black diamond plate on it. I have an Epiphone SG somewhere, I think I friend has it. I also have an ibanez acoustic and a cheap mandolin. I play heavy metal and classical music. Funny you mention that, I also have carpal tunnel. The doc said it was from playing guitar, computer games, and masterbating extreme amounts daily (joking).
The best Christmas song ever is by “The Happy Flowers”.
What are the symptoms of carpal tunnel? I can certainly play for less time than I could a few years ago, now I get a sort of cramping feeling in my right hand. Also playing fast pieces I get the same type of thing on my right - even using a proper relaxed technique (ie I know how to play). Its not that much of a problem as perfromance, for me, is mostly finished, but I still practice and it can get annoying.
