Well, you're not alone- everyone has money problems. To tell you the truth all my salary goes into either buying equipment or modding my guitar so I don't have any savings at all- just debt lol. But I just love guitars and its what makes me happy so its worth it i guess even at the end I know i'll have nothing when i reach for my pocket. You see, modded it and add upgrades, the more my dreams come into fruition except for that bit of built in chorus that i've its just this guitar is the best thing that ever happened to me. Julia (my les paul hollowbody) came along, I already had a part of my dreams come true- to own a beautiful looking, sounding and versatile guitar (seem, when I was a child, I had nothing- if i did, they were crap). When I been longing for all this time. But to do all these things, I had to wait many years believe it or not because I always didnt have money.


By the way, here are the pics of my 2 beloved guitars.

Sophia- the strat, is my very first electric guitar which is Samick's strat imitation (has a HSH configuration). I got it when I was 13 for xmas. I didnt know it only had 21 frets at that time! As you can see, i haven't used this guitar for a long time and it had seen many years of abuse so I need to bring it to my luthier to get it back in working order. I plan to add a floydrose trem and fullshred humbuckers when i get the money. Some people say its not worth the money to put upgrades on a crappy guitar but i just feel that i had too since this is my first guitar and it has too much emotional value for me to just discard of it.

Julia- the les paul hollowbody that you see there is my epiphone les paul es- my main guitar which i have modded several times ever since I took this pic. I haven't had the piezo system attached in the guitar yet at this pic. I only have the classic 57s.

"Lets see… well I play the guitar and when I'm not playing the guitar, I think about playing the guitar. My other favorite instrument, is the guitar and if I aspired to play any other instrument, it would be the guitar...

I can’t sing so I sing through my guitar. So when the sound guy says: “Your guitar is too loud!” I think: "Why does he never say that to the vocalist?"
