Got the last one I posted. Would love one of these [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7x73RoNpsM"]YouTube- SPALDO by Verellen Amplifiers[/ame]
I have a First Act guitar that came with a VW guitar some years ago and it's surprisingly not terrible. About the same build quality as a mid-level Ibanez at least.
Dudes from Converge play first act guitars and they've got a neat bubbly/cartoon look so I can see wanting one!
I love how people keep posting amps, pedals and recording equipment. Post pictures of current musical instrument you want

lol. what do you anchor? that's a silly thing to do anyway, so deal with it! Plus it will be awesome cleans and funk
When I get a real job I'm saving up for a Nord Electro 3 synth. Damn, they sound good! Don't know too much about playing keys except what I learned from some fairly basic lessons I took ages ago, but I can learn.

Interesting, you must anchor your pinkie yes? I've never seen a successful picker doing that, you should record a video so I can see it. Edit: lol didn't see chrono's post.
I anchor my pinkie as well but if I have to play on a Strat or something I just...don't anchor it. It doesn't alter my playing at all, I just find it more comfortable so whenever I can I anchor it.
Observe his right hand. There are countless others who do this, I just can't be bothered to think of someone else and JP was the first guy to spring to mind.
That seems to be an incredibly inefficient playing style. Edit: Fuck, apparently there are a lot of proficient players who use this technique, Vai being one of them. To what end and purpose? Does it help during sweeping? Solos?
Where the fuck did the link to the video go? Honestly, it's the just way my hand naturally started going and I never took lessons to correct it. It's comfortable for me, and I find it helps keep me grounded when doing string skipping. I don't really know if it helps for sweeping because I am physically incapable of sweeping.
There a few successful players that anchor. EJ does it a alot, so does JP, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea or not limiting. It doesn't really help anything except having an axis to move your pick on rather than floating it, I don't think that's an advantage though...
It's terrible logic and a terrible idea to base your technique solely off of what a single guitarist does or has been successful with. Many people can become passably good or even great, but still be held back and limited by their technique. Anchoring pigeon holes the things you can do, and doesn't serve much of a purpose outside of, possibly, giving you a stringer sense of where your pick is positioned. Not because JM doesn't do it. And fuck JM, as much as people love to hug his nuts I am not impressed at all with the tone of his picking technique. "X" doesn't use their pinky, so I will never use mine. Come on, don't be dumb.
I also want this. Calling it a "synth" is misleading though, since it just samples electro-mechanical instruments. India seems to have the coolest set of instruments of any one country. I'd love to eventually one of those, a sitar, tabla, bansuri, sarod, etc. I really don't know what I want to get next. A few things on the list are a tenor saxophone, a drum set, a flute, a Squire 4-string fretless bass, and a 7-string guitar (probably a Carvin DC).
Fuck.. I might actually just go ahead and buy/order this tomorrow. The only thing I don't like about it is that it (rightfully) doesn't have piano-like weighted keys and the piano sound isn't very dynamic with respect to keystroke/volume compared to digital pianos, like the Yamaha CLP330 and the Roland FP-7 which I also considered as they are in the same price range. It does however, in my opinion, sound much better and more authentic. The Roland pianos sound particularly artificial, and the organ section is horrible compared to the Nord.
