I used to play the drums, but I got kind of burnt out on it. I can play guitar a little, but I'm no pro or anything.

I've been really itching to learn how to play the piano!

Piano is great if you want to compose nice tunes..
Just see how jazz pianists are way more creative than jazz guitarrists... (NOT FRANK ZAPPA).

I really wish I would have taken piano lessons when I was a kid. As a result, I have absolutely no musical talent, and very little talent for staying on beat.

I can't even play games like Guitar Hero (I know it's not really playing music, but the principle of rhythm is the same).

Gibson guitars are 10 times more expensive here in Brazil (due to taxes i guess)...
A Gibson SG special is half the price of a brand new good automobile... :(

Thanks god there is Korea.... =P
Mine is a Cort KX-1...

I'm pissed because Guitars cost 15% more when they're left handed. Not cool.

Speaking of keyboards, I have one just lying around. I want to learn to play it, I just need to find the cord.

The best guitar design ever is SG... Can't top that, i don't like much these new post 80's guitar designs...

Here are some pics i took a while ago:

This was my first eletric guitar ever, a cheap (REALLY cheap, bought it for around R$70,00 US$30,00) from a friend, it sounds awfull but don't look so bad...

In this guitar i've learned how to play, It's a classical guitar from around 1982~83.. It was from my dad...

Bought this from the same friend that i bought the strato copy from, was also cheap.
It has a nice tone plugged or unplugged.

This is my last guitar, A Cort KX-1. Amazing construction, the body and neck are one piece of wood, the strings go through the mahogany body and all of this gives AMAZING sustain. The pick ups are really good for metal and such...
Will be a while until i can fully use all this guitar potencial...

I've owned three guitars in my life, and always failed to play anything interesting:
Fender Bullet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Bullet)
A 60s era Yamaha Acoustic (My dad's)
Series 10 by Bentley (http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Guitar/product/Bently/Series+10/10/1) (I had a black Fender knockoff)

@Raptor: Seriously, BC Rich sucks. They may look cool but those have the highest actions I've ever seen. If you want an amazing playing guitar that looks badass, should have gone with a Jackson Warrior. That guitar screams fucking metal.

@ Harry: Whenever I start taking lessons, I'm totally going to do something ridiculous like that for recitals.

I'm sure you could make the action on BC Rich's better with a decent setup, but I've heard they're not terribly good..some look kinda cool though, like the warlock, all the rest are too poser-ish for me.
Ibanez 8 strings are teh metalz even though they look very weird, they're so easy to play :D

Most B.C. Rich guitars now suck cock because they are just mass produced out the ass because they don't care. Mine, however, is one of the deluxe series. I'm pretty sure they don't make these anymore as I haven't seen them on sale anywhere. The action on my guitar is perfect. The sound from it is AWESOME. If I had a decent setup for recording, you'd be able to hear it better. After I got it, my guitar teacher said it was an awesome guitar.

My next guitar, I want an Ibanez 7 string Dive Bomber.
