Guitar

Electrics

PRS Silver Sky Rosewood is an S-style guitar that caught my attention for a while. I love the balance of vintage feel with modern build and reliability. It's basically a 60s Strat with perfect stability, intonation, and playability. It was perfect right out-of-the-box. I bought this Tungsten model as a used demo right when Covid started before prices shot up and everyone decided to learn guitar.

EVH Wolfgang Special - I have always been a huge fan of Eddie, but only recently started liking the Wolfgang shape. It's a perfect blend of a Les Paul and super Strat, with a Floyd! The pickups sound amazing, the neck and radius feel perfect for any genre, and it's pretty compact and reliable. The Floyd bridge won't let you change tunings easily - just get another guitar - but at least it has the D-tuna. It looks great in the Ivory finish with the ebony board. Can't go wrong, and it's so much fun!

Sire Larry Carlton L7V with the Gold Top is an impressive LP-style axe for the price. This one has the P90 style pickups that sound fantastic in every postion. The relatively light weight and modern sculpting makes it very comfortable to play.

1998 Fender American Deluxe Strat HSS was the first "grown up" guitar I got. It has an amazing greenish aqua finish over the Ash body and a maple neck. It's a solid, modern Strat. This one is currently running EMG active pickups.

Hopefully more acquisitions soon...

Acoustics

Orangewood Oliver Jr Mahogany is a great value and plays great. It doesn't have the full depth and presence of larger guitars, but it's awesome to jam informally on.

Yamaha Classical belonged to my mom when she was teaching kindergarten. The frets are tiny, the neck is a little bowed, but I love the classic nylon sound from it. It's also the first guitar I played and learned on.

Amps

Orange Rocker 15 combo is an all-tube 10 inch combo amp. I love its simplicity, tone, and built-in attenuator so I can get tube distortion and saturation at lower volumes. It also has an effects loop where I usually run a delay and looper.

Yamaha THR5 is a tabletop 2x3" modeling amp. It can plug into the wall or run on batteries. I love the simple layout and has all the amp models and effects I need to practice with. No need to navigate menus and settings to start playing!
