I fancy myself to be a kind of starving guitarist, and a songwriter... of course, i cant make any of that happen without my toys...

  • 2 Hohner Blues Harps-- Both of them are pretty vintage. I never took lessons for any instrument, so i'm just beginning the basics. But i think im doin alright. Good Stuff!
  • Yamaha Keyboard-- A beginner's tool. I have used it a lot! Comes in handy when tuning my guitars, and when i want to figure out the specific note i heard in a song. Plus, it's got it's default rythms, and when you are a lone guitarist, it helps to be able to get something to play along with.
  • Yamaha Classical Guitar-- My first six string. Her name is Sahria. I slept with this thing for almost the entire first year i had it. We have a history together for sure. One night, when visiting my girlfriend at the time, some dude took her from out of under my arm when i was carrying food to her apartment. I dropped the food, ran after him and as he was scaling the wall, the guitar hit the bricks and fell to the ground, the impact cracked the front face, but i was able to seal it with clear nail polish, she still sounds great!
  • Ibanez CN-250 Concert Series-- My first electric! This cherry sunburst is from 1979! Her name is Hala (Egyptian for Halo), and is already a classic! She's got some body damage on the back, but she can sing! My brothers got me foot pedals and what not for my 21st birthday, She can seduce any man, im sure. One day, once i get the funds, i plan to completely restore her, and get her insured, and have her priced, just so i can see how much she is worth. Last time someone asked to buy her, he offered me 1600 just off the bat. yeah right!
  • Johnson Dobro-- My newest baby, "Manhattan" is a regal blue resonnator with off-white trim, whose sound can make a grown-man cry for his mama, heh heh. My favorite guitar by far, it was my 21st birthday present from my dad and his girlfriend and her daughters. I have already broken her in more then enough and she sings a sweet tune for me, especially when i play my jack johnson licks and original stuff!
