Gpower, welcome! I think you'll like it here.
That's quite a collection of guitars. Looks like your ebay hunts have been successful. Which one(s) do you find yourself playing the most?
Hi to all,
I'm a 50 yr. old player who played some in bands as a teen then put my guitar in the closet for many years. I'd take it out, dust it off, and beat on it once in a while but, wasn't really motivated to play.
In the last year or so, I've gotten the inspiration back to play and learn. It's a slow process.
Although I listen to and enjoy many genres of music, my focus has always been electric blues and blues based rock.
Last year I began buying parts off eBay and assembling Strats. I owned one back in the late sixties(sure wish I had it now), and have always liked their versatility.
My current collection of gear is:
Fender DG 14Sce acoustic
Fender Custom Tele FMT HH
Fender MIA Strat - Black, rosewood, vintage trem and pups.
Fender MIA Strat - Crimson transparent, maple, vintage trem, Custom Shop Texas Specials.
Fender MIA Strat - Sapphire Blue transparent, rosewood, vintage trem, Rio Grande Vintage Tallboys.
Fender MIJ Squier Strat - Mid 80's, Olympic White, Mia vintage trem, MIA std pups.
Traynor YCV-20 JJ retube and soon to have Weber ceramic Blue Dog
Dunlop JH-1
Boss BD-2
Boss TU-2
Boss ME-30
Yamaha MagicStomp
Projects in various stages of assembly:
Fender MIA Strat - Vintage Blonde, Warmoth Pro rosewood, Callaham hardware, Kinman's.
Fender Custom Shop body, Warmoth or Custom Shop neck, and Custom Shop 54 or 57/62 pups.
I'm looking forward to meeting folks on here and talking about music and gear.

Welcome Gpower, I think you will like it here. I have just recently picked up a Squier Strat and just love the sound, I have been pretty much a Gibson guy in the past but I like them both now. You have a nice collection going there, I can't believe what I have missed not playing a Strat years ago.
