I have been playing my American Professional II Fender Stratocaster, which I love. It's really an amazing guitar and I'd highly recommend anybody looking to buy a Fender Strat with some cash available to spend, as it isn't so cheap.

I am looking to buy an ESP/PRS as both are high quality and are suited for a wealth of genres.

As for music, I play stuff from Hendrix, SRV, Vai, Megadeth.. standard songs/artists, but fun to play. I'd love to learn pieces from Jason Becker, but my sweeping isn't good enough to nail the arpeggios at even 50% of the original speed lol, but that's what metronomes are for.
 
I used my RG 470 till the neck cracked. I still play it sometimes, but I gotta get it fixed. I actually have been playing on a Kramer Baretta Special and I fucking love it. Got it as a project guitar. Gonna get some locking tuners, new nut. Just working on the body right now.
Transferred a photo I took on the 401 that was a prolonged exposure shot at night. Thought it looked wank enough for the guitar, now I'm just scuzzing it up.

The pics i have of my guitar are too large apparently.
Anyway, it's a lefthanded Gaskell Firestarter, a Firebird copy made by Gaskell guitars in NSW, they only make lefthanded axes.

It looks like this Gaskell but a little more of a reddish burst.

I may be a righty, but it's nice to see a company do lefty ones more.

Also my fretless bass. It's nothing special brand wise.

PRS Tremonti: Mostly for teaching and playing in full cover bands;
Telecaster 60s Vintera: Playing in duos and trios, doing more mellow stuff;
Yamaha AES620: Most original music, anything tuned below standard;
Yamaha FSX800C: For all acoustic gigs;
Some kind of Spector: For any bass lessons and fill in bass gigs.

When I'm doing session work, it could be any of the above.

I have an ESP Eclipse E-II as below, it's fucking great, goes well with my Line 6 Catalyst. I play Metallica, Megadeth, Sabbath, Judas Priest, Lamb of God and a bunch of other stuff, mainly metal/hard rock. I'm nowhere near sweep picking ha ha

I played an Eclipse in a shop about 15 years ago that I still think about today. Some kind of honey blonde top and JBs in the neck and bridge.
