Nathan, that is an outstanding guitar. It's beautiful and plays and sounds great. You scored big time with that half off deal. I'm a bit envious. 
Enjoy it!

Thanks a lot! I've had it for about two months now and every time I play it I think of how much better it is than my old guitar. This is only my second guitar, my previous was a Squier Strat (and we all know how those are). I played the Squier for about 5 years (4 years too long!). I know it's obvious that a $2000 guitar would be better than a $200 guitar, but it's more than that to me.
I love the tone, the feel, and especially the build quality. It feels really good to play.
I dont know whats up with my camera but:
Fender Spruce top Dreadnaught Acoustic
Fender Strat: American Highway One Nitro Body w/ hand tinted mexican neck
Fender Blues Jr. Recovered in Tweed with a lacquered Honey Pine finish with a Cadillac V emblem.

I used to post on TDPRI a lot. Good information there on mods and stuff. For me, these days, I have no Fender stuff now now but I had 12 Fenders/Squiers and plenty of guitars that used Leo's designs (Ibanez, Charvel, Jackson, ESP, etc.) over the years.
Right now I am stuck in humbucker mode but single coils are less forgiving, fascinatingly challenging, but much more fun and sound better for most styles of music.
That's nice you big tart!
I popped into Brum last weekend to get a couple of leads and ended up buying a Roland Juno Di.

Thank you. I've wanted this bass for 24 years, I was super excited when they started making them last year.
Surely that synth is a bit too modern for the Black Country. You'd best watch out or you'll be burned at the stake for the witchcraft of polyphony!!
I know it's not the right thread but since I've seen people with Tele's, I'll ask.
I'm about to buy an American Standard Telecaster (upgrading from a crappy Squier Strat). How do you guys like it? I still have to try one out properly, but in the meantime I would appreciate your opinions.
Thanks,
Ams.

I've seen this question numerous times, the best thing to do is go down to your music store and just try each guitar out yourself
I actually bought an Epiphone Studio Les Paul and I didnt really like it, but then I touched a strat and it was all over for the LP, I fell in love with strats so it's really up to you! Good luck let us see a pic when you get one!
Had to revive this thread for a family photo.

Sorry, should have specified.
Top: Breedlove Passport DMM/e, dreadnought full mahogany body with built in mic/preamp.
Bottom: Squier Classic Vibe '50s Stratocaster, Olympic White. This one is surprisingly good (Squier has a rep for making awful guitars but the CV series is turning out some great stuff)
MacMan: Didn't know Strats to come with EMGs originally?

Yep, that one is fully certified 100% original. All I have had done is the PU's cleaned, by the one guy I trust here in the UK. I've been offered crazy amounts of money for it by people who probably just want to hang it on a wall or put it in a plastic case.
It's not for sale anyway, but it's meant to be played, not stared at...
Fender P bass, First Act Garagemaster (actually a pretty decent guitar, considering I won it from VW in a trivia contest.)
This is my girl (well her likeness anyway), she's hurt right now so can't play her
Cort m600 Cherry Burst. Actually has an awesome sound. My first, one and only electric.
