Thanks
Yes it's a pro level guitar I had made for me back in the late 90's by a guy named Scott Lentz in Southern California. it's not a Fender. I've been playing somewhat off and on since I was a kid. In the 80's I was in a band called Falling Idols. We were semi popular at the time. The rest of the guys have gone on to some other successful bands like Pennywise, The Vandals and Sublime...
I like piano and keyboards. I've never had any real access to one though. When I was a kid quite a few families that were maybe a bit more successful had pianos. Almost a required piece of furniture. I was always a guitar guy though. It was all I cared about. I'm one of millions of kids who got a guitar in the 60's when the Beatles and Stones and all that was taking over the world
Fantastic. Good items last, and none more than properly looked after instruments. There's those that are forever pristine, but I love to see a patina of hard playing on an instrument when you go and see a band live.
My "piano" is just a digital one, was about $800 Australian new. The guitars I have are both second hand, an Ibanez of some sort (I like metal, so the pick up arrangement on Ibanez suited my (small) 2nd hand budget - and well, its fine) - It will definitely outplay me, as opposed to me hitting the limit of the instrument. I don't think I'll ever be limited by my instruments.
I've heard of Pennywise, but none of the others, but I certainly haven't heard any of the music from any of those bands. Is it a rabbit hole that I should go down?
It's really great to have an instrument that doesn't hold you back!
I have only listened to a minute or two of Pennywise. So I don't know if I like them or not haha. I'm going to guess I don't. The Vandals oldest stuff is pretty decent. They have a sense of humor.
