Hey everybody.

As it seems proper to introduce oneself when joining a group, I'll take the time to do so now.

I'm 25 years old and I live in El Paso, Texas.

As far as my personal musical style, I guess you can call it pop-rock with a heavy dose of old school country thrown into the mix. As far as what I listen to, it's everything from Dizzy Gillespie to Powerman 5000 (pretty much everything exept for "Gangsta rap").

Currently, my amp line up consists of a '71 Bassman Export head, a Duncan Convertible 60 combo, a Vox Buckingham head, a SWR Strawberry Blonde, and a California Blonde.

My main rig though is a Boss GT-8 modeler into a Mesa 50:50 power section feeding a Marshall JCM C212 cab loaded with a V30 and an EV 12L and a Vox Buckingham 2x12 cab that uses a G12 75 and a Peavey Scorpion. I run my bass through an Ashdown Superfly into an old Peavey 4x10 cab.

As far as my guitars, I own a few. They include:
*'81 Hamer Special (Duncan 59 neck/ old, unpotted Dimarzio Super Distortion bridge)
* Carvin DC127-T (all maple body, ebony fretboard, Duncan Pearly Gates bridge model in neck/ Custom Custom bridge)
*Fender MIJ 62 RI strat (Duncan Custom Shop Albert Lee single coil set)
* Fender '77 strat w/ 95 Am Std neck (EMG DG-20 set)
* Fernandez MIJ 50's style Tele (Duncan APH neck/STL-2 Tapped Tele lead bridge)
*'99 Danelectro U3 (stock)
*'96 Les Paul Std (Duncan Pearly Gates set)
* Epi Sheraton ( Duncan Phat Cat set)
* Epi Alleykat ( Duncan SM-1 neck/ Screamin Demon bridge/LR Baggs T-Bridge with Fishman Powerchip)
*Fender HM Strat (Duncan Custom Shop Lil Pearly Gates neck/stock mid/PATB-3 bridge)
*Washburn Mercury (EMG SA/SA/85 with PA-2 boost)
*Yamaha AES500 (Duncan Jazz neck/Detonator bridge)
*Fender '65 Muicmaster into Duo-Sonic (Dimarzio Fast Track 1 neck/Fast Track 2 bridge)
*Alvarez 5047 OM style acoustic (solid spruce top, rosewood back and sides, Fishman Rare Earth 'bucker)
*Epi AJ18SCEN acoustic (solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, cutaway J45 style, Shadow active piezo system)
* '72 Ric 4003
