Anyone play it?

I've been playing electric for about three years myself... it's really fun to play in your spare time.

I do. I'm not very good, I play rhythm for my band, but that's about it. I'd love to get really good at it, but with all the other instruments I have to learn it has taken a backseat unfortunately.

Started playing bass guitar around the age of 7, had a half-sized bass. Started playing guitar at 14. Started learning drums at 21. Various other instruments in between... I was in the band geek mafia for a while.

My toys (minus the Washburn acoustic I just picked up):

That's quite a collection you have there.

I just use an Epiphone SG/Epiphone acoustic, I don't care to pay $600 extra for a Gibson stamped on the top of my guitar. They sound really nice with a MG30FX Amp.

I prefer Epiphones myself. Gibson makes great guitars, but name-brand means jack and shit. Whatever gets you the best sound that you prefer, I say. Each of my guitars has a distinct sound and I use specific pedals and amps with each, just because the combinations work for me and for the style of music I can play with them.

In that picture the two guitars which are on the left are both no-name pawn-shop specials. I paid forty bucks for each of them. The bass right next to them isn't a pawnshop special but I paid twenty bucks for it from a sound engineer that I knew, it was cheap because it was a piece of junk - electronics burnt out, someone had spray-painted the body so we couldn't even ID its make, no strings, body warped. I completely rebuilt it using a variety of components so now it's a Frankenbass.

I can play the Piano on occasion, I own an acuostic but never learned to play. I'd like to..

You should. It's very fun. Start out by learning Good Riddance by Green Day if you want, pretty easy and a very fun tune to play (and sing) when you're good at it.

trying to learn.

I'm not that good, I can play simple things. Since I blew up my amplifier I've not practiced playing.
