There are two more instruments I want, and one is a Fender. The other is a Gibson. I barely play anymore and will likely never buy either one. Please don't let that happen. I know a lot of players, more talented than me that stopped playing, sold all their gear. For me, it's like part of my identity or who I am, I don't understand that. Second time in my life that this happened, first was when I went to law school. I will pick it back up. Part of me really wants to get into bass playing, and the Fender instrument I want to buy is a Jazz Bass. I’m getting close to making that decision, after I save up the money.

I check in here every day because Gato scours the innerwebs to bring us all the stuff we didn't even know we needed to know -- where else can you get that?
I still have two Strats and a Tele -- they look cool hanging on my wall.

I joined the old place in....01 I think it was, because I played almost exclusively Fenders at the time and wanted to learn more about setup tricks and such. For the first year or two I hung out almost exclusively in the gear forums.....Moe's was the place where people talked about stuff that wasn't guitar stuff. Eventually I found my way into Moe's and hung out there quite a bit. I'm still bummed we never got the FDP Tele off the ground. I was just a hair too late for the strat, but did get the case. It was definitely a Fender place when I joined.
I am still primarily a Fender guy...95% of my playing is on a Tele, then 4% Les Paul and the remainder an assortment of other guitars.
This place is mostly a hangout for the refugees of the old place with no particular brand affiliation or affinity (IMO). Here I rarely go into the tech forums, but I do find a reason to check them out periodically. I'm just not a gear hound anymore. I have more gear than I need, so it's mostly just playing them and yakking about whatever here.
