Solid purchase Roasted. The semi-hollow Epiphones are good guitars.

vociferous, I also play backwards. *Team Lefty high-five*

If your gonna go for a new tenor as opposed to vintage I'd highly suggest the yamaha jazz series - I have an 82z unlaquered and its fantastic

Dropped by Cosmo last weekend to check out the tenor saxes... after a few hours of testing, walked out with a Yamaha YTS-82ZIIVB Limited Edition Vintage Bronze Lacquer tenor sax.

i loved playing a friends fathers casino. such cool tone out of a very affordable guitar. i'd love to have one, or any other es-335-like guitar.

One funny thing is that on a guitar like this, playing low to mid gain, the tone knobs are actually useful. On the neck pickup rolling off the tone knob actually gives it a nice phat sound. On my Jackson's I'm either playing high gain or completely clean and I don't think I've EVER found a use for the tone knob. It's cranked all the way up at all times and if I lower it, it simply sounds worse. If someone took off the tone knob all together off all my guitars I wouldn't care.

I have a complete set of vintage Tama Superstar drums from the 1980s in Super-Mahogany. Been playing drums since 1977, used to play in a metal band. I stopped playing for 15 years in 1991. Cashed in on the eBay thing when it first started and there was a pile of second hand stuff selling there and got the Supes. Got motivated and built a soundproof jam room in my house years ago, lol. I even have a mixing board and mics for recording just for fun. I only play as a hobby these days, about once a week or two.

Just curious if anyone else on here is a player.

I'm a sax player, mainly jazz and blues, some r&b.

Anyone else?

I've been "playing at" guitar for ~40 years.

Also have a Korg M1 keyboard bought new .... 1990ish.
An Atari computer running the Notator Sequencer software.

And a Casio MIDI guitar

Then like the MAD magazine skit says, "Now all we have to do is learn to play these things"

Almost have Stairway to Heaven down ... even the solo.

I just a bought a cheap sax off Amazon in the winter

And a better older "vintage" one (Buescher Aristocrat Alto Saxophone ) $800 US

Took me a couple of months to get any notes out of the saxes _

A lot easier to play the sax(s) with a synthetic reed.

Oh yeah, also bout a minimal MIDI / electronic drum set

Rental / buy on "time"

Nice. Don't sell that one.

Certain vintage synths are collector items because the sound is so sought after. Yeah, modern synths can emulate, but a lot of pro musicians still break out the M1 for that sweet out-of-the-box patches.

Yamaha DX-7 is another, as well as the older analog Minimoogs.
