idk, i guess i focus more on what's being played than the instrument itself


*whew* sorry for the rant
relax

i WISH i still had the beater electric i learned on. i played it for almost 3 years straight while i saved up for that mexi-strat at $5/hour. the only way i justified buying the LTD was a surprise jumbo tax return in 2006.

you're right that there's no need to get 'flashy' gear if you don't know how to use it but please tell me a small collection is in the cards. you'd be surprised at what you can get between $600-$800 and how quickly $2 here and $5 there can accumulate.
