There are tons of stereotypes out there. I love that D'Aquisto as much as my JEMs or my home-built Strat-style or my 1930's Martin Orchestra model, which, BTW, my Grandfather bought from Mel Bay in St. Louis and has passed down to me.

I know this is the new FYAD-lite so it's wrong to actually like anything, and tearing people down is the joy of the anonymous hater; but I come from a long line of musicians (guitarists specifically) and I enjoy a good song. I do not apologize for my taste, my honesty, or the fact that I am earnest about my music and my instruments. I've been around this place a long time and I am used to the negativity.

I can love a complex piece from a guy like Vai (really, hating on a performer who graduated from Berklee and started out with Frank Zappa and P.I.L.) or anything by Nirvana or Bela Fleck, from three-chord simplicity to crazy progressive stuff, from single note solos to the most terrifying virtuosity (e.g. Tommy Emmanuel or Michael Hedges or Robben Ford), I just follow my ears and I love music. Piano music, classical music, old Hip-Hop, acoustic wizardry, searing country/bluegrass, whatever owns.

I love a vintage Fender or Gibson as much as I love my pointy, cheesy Ibanezes (they were very much in vogue when I got serious about playing and we knew they were cheesy then) and they hold a special place in my heart.

There is no accounting for taste, true, but my final word here is that I love my guitars like my own children, and I have devoted 27 years to collecting this gear and learning to make music with it.

Thanks for your time. It's nice to see my collection getting so much attention, even if it's mostly just Crapslock et. al loving with me because I like my Xbox.
