Hey all. Greetings from Melbourne Australia.
We have a huge live music scene here and always will.

Me? Been playing since I was an 8 yo, first pro gig at 11.
These days it's mainly 50th Birthday parties with my band - lol.

You haven't lived until you've seen 100 or so over-weight 50 plus women doing the "Nutbush".

I have a "penchant" for natural finish ash bodied guitars with rosewood necks and white perloid pick guards (REAL Blondes) and as such proudly play a late '80's Strat Plus Deluxe I bought new and a gorgeous matching Tele I found and also bought new 10 years ago.
It don't mean a thang if it ain't got that twang.
I use a Series II Cyber Twin (yep, with the $1000 foot controller) plus a few other original pedals I bought new back in the '70s.
It's interesting - I've jammed with a helluva lot of people over the years each playing a huge variety of gear - but they all sit up and take notice when I plug in and play.
Open mic nights are my favs.
Keep it pure and find your tone.
Cheers.

Cool introduction AussiePicker, welcome to the Forum. A penchant for Fender electric guitars is playfully charming, I haven't heard or seen it put quite that way before. You fit right in here. We love pictures and video's too. Have fun.

Welcome!

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.
