Hi My name is Chris. I'm an 18 year old guitar noob lol. I own a squire strat. I absolutely love playing my guitar even though i'm not very good at it hehe. I enjoy art, drawing, and fishing yo yoing and i dont mean just throwing it up and down im talkin hard core tricks guys. I love to figure out how things work(taking them apart lol),my favorite company's are Fender and Gibson. I'd like to learn how to play pretty much anything except hard core metal rock. I look forward to chatting with you all!

^ welcome, just keep practicing it and you'll just get better and better if you love it.... have fun here!

Welcome keeba29/Chris.

yeah, i'm trying to contact Fender to make sure it's okay... if not, we can always create some type of graphic that looks like it... actually, our screamer, Josh, came up with it himself.

I am Garry Renfro, 56, been making serious noise since 1964. Same as many others of my generation I was kick-started by the "British Invasion".
I am father of 3- 28, 26, and 21. I am a graphic designer, artist, university adjunct professor, and guitar obsessive. I still have a couple of Dano-Silvertones I had as a kid and my first really good guitar - a 1964 National Westwood. I have many other guitars, and several amps, including a 1966 Bassman I really, really love. I have always had a soft place in my heart (hole in my head?) for Fender amps and Telecasters.

^ welcome!

Hi, my name is Bob, 41. Finally bought my first Fender Stratocaster this year. Been playing since I was 15. First guitar was a strat copy and have wanted a real one ever since. Have had other guitars but this one is my favorite. American Deluxe Still searching for the perfect tone and how to make those leads flow without thinking. Actually looking for a small bedroom volume amp now and hope Fender has something to go along with my Strat. Maybe 5 to 18 watts tube ?

Ya know, seems like I get onto a site such as this and am 'scared away' from the folks on here who have played for eons and own mega equiptment...I'm just a garage hack with a little room for trying to play a few bars...My problem is that I haven't yet found a buddy to play other instruments,(I like the drums but have six strings,Fender of course, a bass, keyboard and a few comfy stools) excapt for a good pal across the street...We get a few bars into a song then things drop off for one reason or the other, but ya know, just those few bars get me all giddy and some poor souls,(like me wife!!!) says it sounds pretty good...glad to be a part of the fam and will be on here more and more...Got a 88 fender $@! strat that I really like but needs to be tuned in in the near future..As for me, sheet metal worker for the local 105,48 years ancient, kids but they're gone, dogs are good to eat..LOL...thank god for understanding wifes!!!

I've been a Fender player for a little over 31 years. I bought my first on November 1, 1976 --- and I still have that sunburst strat.

I signed up here back in July, but make my first posts today because I'm not usually home during the times that the Forum is open.

Cheers, y'all!

My other guitar is a Strat.

I've been posting for a couple weeks, I guess I should introduce myself. My names Shon Blackwell, I love Playing Guitar (Blues Mostly), although I'm between Bands right now.
I have a 1988 Olympic White Strat/w Kahler Spyder trem, A 2004 Saphire Blue Deluxe Players Strat, a 2005 Red Polka Dot Buddy Guy Strat, and a Black FR-50 Resonator. I also have a Gbson Nighhawk, but don't hold that against me

Why hello there!! I'm Katelyn, but most people call me Kate. I'm 14 years old, so I haven't even been alive for half as long as some of you have been playing!! lol I started playing guitar a few years ago. Took lessons from someone who realized teaching guitar wasn't his thing, so we moved on. Next was a lady who tought all folk music. That was good to learn and all, but it was time to find someone new and start learning what I really wanted to play, and here I am playing my beautiful strats!!! And I absolutly LOVE FENDER!!!!!! Love at first sight....or maybe first strum........lol
My fav band is Relient K, but I also love Hawk Nelson, Superchick, Switchfoot, and Skillet. Bon Jovi and Van Halen are pretty osm too! Along with many others....... UMmmmm..... yeah, that's me!

That's no problem! At least you are playing. My little daughter just turned 7. She's been taking piano lessons for nearly a year now. We told her she had to do that before getting that Pink Hello Kitty Strat she had her eye on.

I'm not exactly sure what's a good age to get her that guitar and get her started playing it. Maybe another year of piano first.
