Another Chris Here
Hey folks! Another forum noob. Was trolling about and found many familiar names from the Washburn Forums here. Figured this must be another friendly, civil and helpful place.
Like the look of the Vox Modeling amp section - lots of good info for me there.
I play:
Acoustics: Washburn WG2S parlour, Washburn JM300 jumbo, Ibanez V300M dread
Acoustic-Electric: Washburn D10SCE
Electrics: Washburn WI45, Univox 1970s LP copy and Lyon L115
Currently, the WI45 and D10SCE are my main squeezes but I do pick up the WG2S when I'm upstairs just so I can shock myself, from time to time, with the beauty of her tone.
Have a couple of VOX AD30VTs, Digitech RP-12 processor board, Behringer Xenyx 1202FX and a couple of Roland CM30 powered monitors for the basement "rockin' out" sound system. A good, budget system for practice and jam (though my first 1202FX fried pretty quickly - still, can't beat the price). Oh yeah, Roland keyboard and cheap-o drum kit as well. It all goes very well with beer.
Born and bred in New Brunswick, Canada and living in Saint John, on the Bay of Fundy, for over 20 years, now. This is the best Summer here that I can recall in all those years. Heat, guitars, canoes and beer - awesome! Requires good balance.

BTW, I should have said: I'm 52, been married to the Lovely Wife for 25, have two amazing daughters, 18 and 20 and have been playing for about 30 years, 15 of those semi-competently (the WG2S opened everything up for me). I can play at parties and not embarrass myself sort of level.
That's my life by the quick numbers. Daughters both drum and play guitar to varying degrees. The basement gets noisy around here but, with the girls moving along in life it's getting to be more me and the jammin' buddies.
I'll get some guit pics up in the next while - long weekend coming up!

Thanks for the welcomes, all!
Tig - I'm very happy with the WI45. She's a gorgeous trans-red. Pics will be up shortly. Got it from FunkyMunky. Nicely done guitar for a great price - even shipped to Canada.
Kimo - thanks for the dance. Skill-building, bank account depletion and the time-sucking swirling VORTEX of doom.
Robert and Other Canucks - !Hola! from the East Coast.Something smells fishy around here. Oh wait: it's fish!

I've got some guitpics up now.Time forand
.
Note the Gibson-style "open book" headstock on the Univox LP. I think this may actually be a true "lawsuit" guitar. any comments on that?
