It is my baby. It cost me three kids though. "OK darling if you want 3 kids that's great but I get one of these...... ;)

Nice!

That reminds me....I also want a Gibson 335. :)

...and I want an upright bass too!

In fact, I don't know how I forgot to mention the upright!....that's actually next on my list! They're the most beautiful instrument to play....you can get so much expression out of one. I'd never played one until a few months ago, and I had an absolute blast. Of course, the fact I was pretty wasted had a little to do with it too, but I don't think I've ever had as much fun playing an instrument before in my life. My friends virtually had to pry it from my hands in the end.

Man....I could go on forever.....my ultimate goal is to own one of everything, and become fairly proficient in them all. It will never happen (owning them all that is - I'm lucky enough to be able to learn them all very quickly), but it's a fun goal to have!

Basically, anything you don't need to blow air through (sax, trumpet, flute, clarinet, etc), I want one!!! Particularly real ethnic instruments. (I'd LOVE a real sitar! And a tres....and a tabla set....etc etc etc...) I'm hopeless when it comes to wind/brass instruments however. Guitar and keyboard type instruments are much easier since it's all "up and down", if that makes sense.... you don't really need to KNOW what you're playing....with guitar and keyboard type instruments (keyboard being slightly different obviously, but still the same idea), it's all basically patterns and familiarity with how things will sound when you go to a certain place (eg. an E minor scale/chord on a guitar is the same pattern as a B minor chord/scale; just in a different place on the neck = easy!), whereas wind/brass instruments are kind of all over the place. Much harder to get your head around it when things are all over the place. eg. Changing key on a sax is a whole different ball-game. Whereas once you've learnt to play a guitar or piano-type instrument, you've basically learnt them all.....it's just making adjustments to your technique and the way you think when you play (different tunings etc) depending on the instrument.

I guess the same things applies to some wind/brass instruments, but the learning curve is far higher to begin with.

I'll stick to the easy ones. :D

I own a Epiphone Noel Gallagher Supernova (A copy of his Union Jack one)

A Fender Squire that shorted out last year, and has subsequently been fixed with new pick ups, scratch guard, bridge, etc etc all from a US Fender dealer.

In the future, i'd love a Flying V, a Strat, and a Tele...

Maton accoustic
Crappy bass that I got for my 14th birthday but looks sexy as. (Black Les Paul style)
Noyce "Shark" electric. (Made right here in Ballarat!- Definitely the pick of the three)

I've had an Ibanez Blazer Custom for about 15 years. Had the original bridge humbucker in it changed to a DiMarzio Super III pretty much just after I bought it.
Also have a Takamine G-Series acoustic and an old Valencia nylon string.

My amp is a Marshall JCM900 Dual Reverb Combo Twin.

A Les Paul would be great but I barely have time these days to play with what I've already got. My ultimate axe though would be a PRS. A mate of mine bought one a few years back and it's the best guitar I've ever played. The feel and sound was phenomenal. A little on the pricey side though :)
