Beautiful! Absolutely stunning finish on that one.

Lol I'm the first one to select what I assumed would be classified as "now". To start, the 80's explain themselves a bit more I think. I wasn't alive then, but Slash, Steve Clark, Neal Schon, and a whole other number of guitar players are why I play how I do today, albeit I don't listen to them...

Got my first guitar when I was about 12 (my parents basically said I had no hobbies and forced me to take up one). They took me to a guitar shop and of course I picked the pointiest Dean in the store (what else is a 12 year old going to pick?). Anyways, I took lessons for a few months but...

I've used the same $20 dollar Ernie Ball straps my entire life. I've thought about getting some fancy ones, but I've never been able to find any long enough that I like..... :confused: I used to keep my guitar around my knees. It's gone up some, but not much :rolleyes:

I never had a mullet (I probably would've gotten beat up), but I did rock some long hair for a time that was heavily influenced by my hair metal heroes. I had to cut it post haste when I went to Texas A&M because let me tell you guys something, I stuck out more than I ever wanted to there with...

Been seeing more and more of this, so feels like just a matter of time. They definitely have their issues, but I do hope they're able to come back, especially if it means they're forced to restructure and begin to produce better instruments in the long run. My guitar heros all played LP's and...

Getting a Tremonti SE and the new MT-15 would basically just be a scaled down version of my main rig now, which I use for about 99% of my playing now. No doubt it would be a solid sounding setup. One of those multi-foil SE's would be pretty cool, but wouldn't be pressing in this situation. I'm...

Can't deny I'm a bit jealous of this story. Has nothing to do with Tremonti being my favorite guitar player or anything, I promise :D And oh yeah, nice guitars and stuff :rolleyes: ;)

I remember getting into similar experiences with my mom and dad as well. Also am currently a college student. And curiously no pictures of those times really exist either. I think it's a conspiracy man.....

I always enjoyed the early formations of Loaded as well (Duff is one of my favorite musicians overall). Myles is one of the best singers of all time imo. I had the pleasure of meeting him and the rest of the guys in Alter Bridge about a year ago. Super cool guys.

All these were taken a bit outside Estes Park, Colorado, right in the YMCA of the Rockies. Took our church youth camp there last year. Of course I had to get a little early morning mountain climbing in before everyone got up :D Friendly tip: If the geology of different places interests you, put...

I don't really care too much about age; I'm more of a condition kind of person. That being said, I got no problem with a bit of good ol' fashioned character, provided someone's definition of character isn't a snapped neck in 3 spots and a Van Halen style Sawzall experiment.

Absolutely beautiful!

*Says in unison with the rest of the group* "Hi David." Welcome! I love the new 24-08 model and have a feeling it might be my next big purchase (little purchases will of course fill in 'til then). Also when you do end up receiving it, be sure to post pics. I know it's a few months away, but...
