Finally found the Forum and wished to say Hello to all.
I have been playing on and off since I was 8 and I bought my first 'real' guitar with my own money at 14 (A Gibson SG)
I live in Hunters Hill in Sydney Australia, recently retired from the NSW Police after 19 years (was injured at work) and have more time to practice at home.
Guitars? Well I have bought and sold many but I still have a 1992 Black Beauty '57 reissue that I bought new in 1992. It has the screenprinted serial number, solid mahogany, 57 Classics etc.
I just bought two (2) Honeyburst faded Standards from a guy named Larry Corsa (a great guy BTW) These are modified by Larry to be Peter Green replicas. These guitars are extraordinary and are fast becoming my favourites.
My current amp setup is a Laney Pro Drive 100 Watt Valve with 2 x 12 Celestions. I also have a Line 6 Flextone Duo (USA made). The only effects I use are a Vox Crybaby, Tube Driver (with a 12AX7 inside) and I muck around with a Theremin
Favourite guitarists? Peter Green, Jimmy Page, Ace Frehley and Tony Iommi. There are many others I like but these guys are probably my all time favourites.
My other guitars are a Fender Telecaster Blue Flower, Epiphone Les Paul Goldtop with P90's and an Epiphone Ace Frehley Les Paul with Super Dimarzios. The Epi's have all been upgraded with better hardware and are for my son for when he is older (he is now 8 but would rather play football than guitar)
Regards
Grant
