I've made a few posts over the past few months but never thought to give an introduction. But now I plan on posting more often, since I've decided to avoid other places that have too much of a Jim Jones-esque vibe
My name is Joe, I'm 26 years old. I've been playing guitar for 13 years. I started on a Strat copy but drooled over the Mustangs and Jags I'd see in the hands of Sonic Youth and Kurt Cobain. At first I just thought they looked cool, but these days I prefer them (along with SGs) for their sounds and feel. I've had a couple JMs, a mustang, Jag, and two Jag-Stangs over the years, but sold them for one reason or another. I'm currently working on designs for a Custom Jag and Mustang (not sure which I'll do first) to replace the Jaguar I sold to RumorsOfSurf in a fit of unemployment.
I listen to all kinds of music, but lately have been on a big Velvet Underground and Television kick. Sonic Youth is my favorite band. I don't play in a band anymore, but do write and record my own songs. When I have enough that I'm happy with I might start playing out again.
Anyway, this is a nice forum, I'm glad I found it.
