Wow dude. Thanks for the belief in my abilities. I'm actually working on starting a band right now, and it will kick major ass. I'm not gonna say much about our first set opf material, but know this. You will never hear "The Sound of Music" the same. *wink wink*

My equipment is actually very inexspensive. Well, for the most part. I use a little thing called the Line6 Guitar Port as an amp, which is basically several different amp models on your computer. My guitar, although relatively cheap, has some major hardware. My guitar is a Metallic Black Kramer Striker, with a Floyd Rose Trem system. I sport 2 EMG-81s, and I had the Floyd Rose tweaked for better performance and tuning stability. I'm next going to buy an EMG single-coil pickup to put between the 81's because I have a standard Dual Rail there now that is not hooked up with the 81's, so basically its dead weight, but it adds to the look.
