    Default Glad to be aboard ...

    Nice to be with the group -- I've really enjoyed the breadth and depth of topics on this site and thought I'd officially sign in.

    While I've had a guitar in my hand since I was 9 years old, I really consider myself a newbie since haven't focused on it until the last year when my youngest went off to college. I started taking lessons as an empty nester indulgence, and I've just had a blast with it.

    I started playing in my church's worship band about once a month and have become hooked hardcore on playing with other people. I play mostly acoustic ('84 Takamine dread; one of the Martin lawsuit models), but my son loaned me his MexiStrat and I bought a Vox AC30VT so have been enjoying that as well.

    I look forward to chatting with many of you and absorbing knowledge and wisdom wherever I can.

    Appreciate the welcomes. My problem is that my gear lust far outstrips my available resources -- and the guitars I like all cost north of $1,500. I'm saving my pennies!

    Remember, buy USED!

    You spend fewer pennies that way. :

    They can add up eventually:
