My teacher talked me into doing a jam night with him. For those that don't know, I'm a 60 year old taking guitar lessons. It went excellent, (not perfect) and I'm now hooked on playing with a band again. It had been about 40 years since I was on a stage. So here's what I learned:
1. That my Am Dlx Strat with the N3 noiseless pups sounded f'n fantastic through a full stack Marshall. I'm not sure what model it was but it was new and the head had a lot of knobs. Afterward, the bass player told me my guitar "sounded awsome dude". (It's a California thing).
2. Being prepared makes your performance a lot easier. After reading multiple threads here about what to take to a gig, I made sure I had everything I would need. I ended up spending half the night loaning cables and making sure I got them back. So thanks to everyone here for helping me to have a successfull evening. The first of many I hope.
3. Don't listen to anyone that tells you to pretend the audience is in their underwear. There were a few fine ladies and thinking of them in their undies didn't help a bit.

Prolly a TSL of some kind, there are a few models.

Glad you had fun! That's the most important part, IMO.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Thanks, that's pretty much my plan. I was real concerned about getting the shakes myself, and I thought the audience would break my focus. But, for some reason it was so cool to be with the band on stage that the audience became a nonentity.

I didn't Lose my mind, I traded it for this guitar.

Absolutely, I feel I've discovered a new addiction. Maybe I can give up one of my others.
