I've been playing guitar off and on since I was in elementary school. I own five guitars which can be found hanging in my living room. Unfortunately, I rarely find the time to play them.

My small guitar collection from left to right:
1. Martin 000CXE Black Acoustic-Electric
2. Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plain Top Electric (Heritage Cherry Burst)
3. Hagstrom Viking Semi-Hollowbody Electric (Tobacco Sunburst)
4. Peavey T-15 Electric (Sunburst)
5. Seagull The Original S6 Acoustic

Amps I own:
1. Fender ValveKing II 50
2. Ampeg BA-115
3. Roland Micro Cube

Buying a guitar: If you're looking for a cheap guitar that still sounds good:

Electric: Epiphone Les Paul Special I - $99.00
Acoustic: Fender FA 100 - $119.99

Cure, The - Love Song (chart) (song)
