Not a “real” guitarist, really. But I own a few. I’m a drummer by trade, and I’ve scaled down to about five kits, two of which I gig with. PDP, and Strike Pro eKit.

My recent acquisition is a Variax. It is a double hum bucker, but has all the models of other guitars built in. Strats, Tele’s, Gibsons, Rickenbackers, acoustic guitars, 12 strings, banjo, sitar, resonators, etc. My son has used it a LOT on his instrumental rock album “Bird Mafia” , which is available on Apple Music!!

Dang. 19 and he’s already out there.

Anyway, I live in Telecaster land. EVERYONE has a Tele, and are having Tele’s custom made, and packing around two or three. Our guitarist always has two onstage, and one Paul Reed Smith. 90% of the gigs are on the Tele. Every other band around here they all have Telecasters.

Great to see a Strat once in a while. My old Ibanez Strat is in the middle of being refinished by said 19 year old son, so is in disassembly and I can’t play it. It has the BEST neck I’ve every had my hands on.

I have one drum kit. An old Pearl set. Actually a pretty good drummer. Played drums in a big band/swing band for a few years..... about 15 years ago. But I’m much better on guitar.
