Basically, my Telecaster, and my KMD cab, which was gigged for years before being given to me.

It's starting to get grooved in the fretboard, and all of the frets are starting to get really flat. There are tons of chips, cracks, and dents. A lot of the metal is scratched or corroded, and my friend attempted to put 3x3 tuners when I left my guitar with him over night. (His was stolen at a gig, and he wanted to test his new amp out, and I'm still his friend. It's just a guitar, I got over it.) In the future, I've got plans for it. I'm only saving the electronics and metal bits, and getting a new neck and body. (Probs a Hwy 1 body and an HR 52 neck) it'l probably cost me around $750-$850, depending on what's floating around eBay at the time. But I love the combination of options I have with that kinda thing.

KMD cab is just kinda beat up.

My roommate's dog likes to hang-out where I play:

I don't mind, she likes to howl when I sing, and she has a pretty, pretty howl!

Congrats SK. I am pretty sure that you set a new Fender Forum record. You managed to put your feet in 4, count it 4, pictures. :lol: If you are going to keep this up I think it is time to invest in some more epic socks than those that you are wearing on these photos. :lol:

My most abused gear??
Well, that would be my plecs.
I use Dunlop Tortex Teardrop 0.88 (green) and I go pretty hard on them.

Nice pictures of the Clayton Star pick.

The only thing I didn't like about those picks was speed picking, they just fall to pieces -- literally.

The Jackson on the bottom.
Thrown at walls, thrown at audiences, stolen, used to bludgeon a thief round the head. Thrown across runways by baggage handlers. Waved around by the strings by West Mercia Police Force.

It didn't even have the decency to go out of tune on any of those occasions.
