Re: It gets in your blood.....

Everybody says that about their own playing mate.
Over the years I've had maybe a dozen guitars...been playing since I was 17. I always wanted one but my parents thought it would be a flash in the pan. I had to wait until I could buy my own.
I used to play electric mostly...I was in the worst band in the world for a while. My est was a black Les Paul Standard which was the most beautiful instrument I'd ever held until I bought my Iwata airbrush. I was busy learning as much Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Hendrix...all that kind of stuff, as I could. These days, I don't play much because I'm busy with my models or my son wants to play too. When the kids are in bed, it's too loud. I have a beaten up old Yamaha 12 string that I got for my 21st from my parents...my son's been 'playing' it so it needs serious attention. I recently bought a beautiful acoustic 6 string by Breedlove. I'd never heard of them but I went back to my old workplace to get it. I hooked up with one of my old mates who works in the guitar shop, gave him a price range and he showed me three guitars. Martin, Maton and the Breedlove. It's nice and compares quite favourably with another friend's Maton at nearly 80% of the price.
I like something from all music genres...I find 'Gangsta Rap' hard to care about though.
