    Default Hello

    First post. After lurking around for awhile and taking in the vast amount of info on here I finally joined up. Hope to contribute when I can. I have been playing for about 3 years now after a number of years away for guitar. Now that I have taken it back up I wish I had never walked away from it. I have a MIM Standard Tele that I modded into a Esquire which I run through a SCXD or a G-DECjr. It's not much but I enjoy playing it so that's all that should matter.

    Anyway I off to check out the other threads maybe we'll run into each other.

    Later.

    Welcome aboard! I'm in a similar situation, having been playing about 3 years after walking away for 15 or so. Nice Tele/Esquire!

    Ah, nothing relieves the discomfort of GAS pains like the sound of the UPS truck rumbling down your street. It's like the musician's Beano.

    What do you mean not much? That's a sweet guitar, and the SCXD is a nice amp too!

    My Avatar is Rebecca Barlow from Barlow Girl.

    And I guess I should explain my name. Drunken Miners is the name of a song from the town I grew up in Newfoundland in Canada. I sort of adapted it as my screen name when I moved away. If I can figure out how to put it on here I will.
