I play the Violin and a '03 Fender Squier Stratocaster, and I would not trade that thing for a Les Paul Deluxe.

I use a Fender Frontman 15. I do not like it, I aim for a Marshall half-stack as my amp somewhere in the future.

I can barley play the piano, as I am self taught.

i used to play a bit of bass, though i don't any more... which is sort of a shame, since i'd love to get back into it...

i do, however, still play the harmonica. (mainly blues)
own several hohner's, chromatic and diatonic ones.
although my favorite is my first one, which is a 10-hole chromatic one, C scale.

Last week I bought myself a Yamaha F310 acoustic guitar. I haven't owned a guitar for about 12 years, and I'm well surprised I can remember seven chords, LOL. I'm crap at the moment but its beginning to sound better now my fingertips are starting to toughen up. Anyone got any tips for speeding up the process?

I have a question.

I bought my Strat from ebay, there was little the guy said about it, only that he had to sell it.

It has humbucking positions, does the Affinity series come w/ humbucking positions?

Also, it is a Squier, an Affinity one for that matter, but it just sounds too good, its clear, bright, twangy, versatile, and a killer ear-bleedin' lead, basically everything a Fender guitar is known for, and not only that, it is like a rock, in terms of quality, it is a 4 year old guitar, and it has sustained so many drops and such, and the only thing I had to repair was the jack and jack plate becoming loose, but for a guitar that age thats normal and expected.

I payed $175 for this guitar, do you think the guy could have modded it and sold it because he desperately needed money or whatever?

Not that I really care, but it just seems too good to be true.
