I'm still rocking both the bass trombone and the tenor trombone.

 

i'd like to get an electric some day.

 

look for a used taylor big baby
best bang for your buck IMO

should be able to find one in good shape on CL for $200-300, i found one locally for $250 when i was looking, ended up with a $25 pos instead, should have spent the $250 h:

 

i love ibanez and jackson guitars. i just love the way the necks feel. right now i have a fender squire bullet. and an epiphone les paul custom. for an amp its jsut a 100watt marshall. no stack.

as for a first guitar. just buy one of thsoe acoustics at target. if you get more serious later on, go to your local guitar store. my first guitar was a hand me down acoustic from a neighbor. thing was so hard to play on, but it was awesome. i miss it. i wish i remember who i gave it too.

edit*
hossam i saw you were already playing on a rub and tug. the guys above gave plenty good info.

 

I also have several not pictured (I'm at work)

USA standard Strat
SRV (USA) Strat
mexistrat (my first guitar)
Ibanez sr650pb
Ibanez sr prestige
Ibanez 5 700 series
acoustic/ele bass
Ibanez acoustic/ele
fender classical/ele
harmony classical/ele
Oscar Schmidt mandolin / electric
Violin (not good at)
Motif 6
V03
Roland V-kit (made to sound like acoustic drum kit w/line 1/4" outputs, 250 kits)
Boss Multitracker and many effects boards and guitar/bass labs I built and wired into a rack w/patch panel + conversion gear.

Fun shit

Edit: oh yeah, I have a Takamine acoustic too

 

nice

 

my wifey wants to relearn how to play the piano again, I want to buy one for her, a baby grand for less than 5g's any ideas?

Thanks man, you too. You shoulda met us at Bonnaroo last year, we coulda jammed.

 

Jealous of you guys

My current axes:



1) American Standard (California) in swamp ash... :gorgeous:
2) Yamaha FG-180. Great sound, but plays like barbed wire.

I've just got a $60 Brand X (fender) amp because it's all the noise I need for playing in the living room. Quality tube reverb, but not much else. I've also got an 8 track recorder which I haven't used in quite a while

Wish list:

Sound processor for butt-rock solos. My friend borrowed one of these and it was loads of fun.

Bass guitar (craigslist special, nothing fancy)

Mandolin someday
