getting good equipment has always been tough for us, as a bunch of teenagers dont usually have loads of money to blow on equipment. I finally afforded a les paul (the epi version though), but it has helped out a hell of a lot as i was twangin on a ****ty ass squire strat. It was fun to bash it at the end of a gig we played. Now i sort of kinda know what it was like to be pete townshend at the end of a who concert, its quite a rush to bash a guitar.
