I suppose I'll join the club.
My instrument is a Fender Strat (Mexican) with a set of Texas specials and some aesthetic upgrades. My amp is a Peavey Valveking. Great amp for the money. Sparkling cleans, a good crunchy plexi-type distortion. Plus it is very versatile.
I'll swap out some parts in the amp of course. I have EH tubes and Ruby 6L6s, I'll chuck them for some tung-sols and a JJ or SED power section. Stock speakers will be swapped for Vintage 30 copies from warehouse speakers. New reverb tank would be nice too. Something with a twin reverb type tone would be great.
My guitar is great, but personally I'd like more than 21 frets, and the modern C is rather thin for me, a soft V or maybe a 59 roundback warmoth maple neck would fit the bill. But that is all just splitting hairs. A good set up is a good setup.
I haven't been playing particularly long, or received formal education of any sort. But my knowledge of music from the violin really helped me out. I practice like fuck, and all my neighbors say that I'm great. It seems that I am particularly lucky, my next door neighbor is a bassist, who doesn't care how loud I crank 100 watts of tubes. The guy across from me is this old drummer, and I tell you, he is a great guy. Always gave me great advice. Jamming with him and his relatives and friends (some of which were professionals) was great.
I'm only 14, but I play out like nobody's business.
