Guitar Hobbyist since 1963. Got a Epiphone Serenader 12 string in 1969, still have it. Played it all through college. Also have a 1958 Gibson LG1, play it some. In 2004 I bought a squire affinity strat to introduce my daughters to the world of electric guitar. Did not play it much cause the neck was too narrow. in 2013 I bought a MIM Fender Telecaster, used....and it was on!! Since then I have bought two Fender Amps, Mustang I and Mustang III; a Fender American Strat; a used 2010 ebony Epiphone 1956 Gold Top Les Paul; a special edition butter scotch Fender tele; a squire VM Jaguar; an Epiphone Texan and just bought a squire bullet mustang (delivery date May 19).
