I'm sort of an avid musician. I've been playing piano for as long as I can remember, and have been playing guitar for a little over a year now. I'm also very into listening to music - call me an audiophile in training.

What I want to know is: what do you guys play? Pictures are welcome!

I have 2 guitars; my electric guitar is an Epiphone Les Paul (Sunburst Finish), and my acoustic guitar is a Takamine Jasmine. Here are some pictures of both, and an old Squire P-Bass I had a month or so ago.

I also have 2 guitars but I only play one. I have a *eek* Crate tour pack guitar (bought it for less than a hundred bucks probably about 8 years ago) it's really a decent guitar, it's a fat strat (2 single coils and one humbucker) sunburst finish, I played it for the longest time, mostly because it worked fine and I spent money that I might have used on a new guitar on an old 100 watt Carvin tube amp...that thing was a beast but I had to get rid of it when I started to have bad back pain partially from hauling it around everywhere. I traded that in for Washburn D10s. Marshall Music had it on sale and they offered a free 90 day tune up period so I was pretty much sold, I brought it in after playing on it for a couple weeks and they did a bunch of adjustments for free on it and it sounds and plays great. And since it's a solid spruce top it's only going to sound better with age.

I also play the Baritone/Euphonium (think tuba only smaller) listen to this clip for a great example of what a Euphonium sounds like (all of that soloing from about halfway through the end is the Euphonium).

I play guitar as well. Well I used to, I haven't seriously played in about 3 years (sad I know).

I have a Paul Reed Smith Santana SE electric w/ Crate Amp + 5 or 6 fx pedals then I have my Alverez acoustic I have had since I was 13. It has been in and out of pawn shops but it always seems to find it's way home

Lucccky! The Tele was my dream guitar before I got my Les Paul. Well, it still is my dream guitar, yet it's awfully expensive. Any pictures of yours?

As with others, I don't have a lot of time to play my guitar nowadays. It seems I'm juggling from being at university to being home gallivanting off on these forums! Oh well, it's still a nice room orniment, and sounds pretty good when I do play it.
