Hello everyone. Picked up playing again after a 20 year break and finally got the guitar I wanted but couldn't afford as a kid. Nice having a job.

2012 Custom 24 in a 10 top fire red burst.





And a family pic with the SE Tremonti model I have been playing for the last six months. The Tremonti has locking tuners, tusq nut, and core HFS pickups and will be kept as an alternate tuning / #2 guitar.




I knew new I wanted one of these the second I played one in 1991 and 24 years later it's finally mine. Totally worth the wait.

Beautiful guitar. Congrats. Waiting 24 years for it makes it that much sweeter and really gives you good perspective on things that mean a lot to you.

Someone asked what I play through. I've been very lucky to get some of the things I drooled over before. I always wanted a Marshal JTM45 and was able to build a clone and pair it up with a AVT cab (soon to be full of greenbacks or WGS green berets). Couldn't resist putting my name on it.



While that has been a great amp, I also wanted something I could get a variety of tones through from Fender clean to long sustain high gain. Picked up a Mesa Express 5:25 which is in my opinion one of the best amps ever made for the hobbyist player. It may not cut it for a large gig but is perfect for the Basement bands I play in.

My thoughts exactly when I saw it. Next PRS I buy will need to be aqua blue quilt to balance it.
