Probably other guitar threads here, looked around and didn't see any.
Been on a kick lately, most of these I've got the past year or so, the red LP have had almost 10 years and was my only guitar [that I played] for quite a while.
Though I am right handed I play left, when I first started I didn't think twice about it and got a right handed LP copy. Learned to play upside down, a friend of mine who actually could play pretty good broke the bad news, that I have been playing upside down for almost a year and now I would have to either learn to play right handed or undo everything I have learned and flip the strings.
I opted to flip the strings, just cannot imagine strumming with my right hand. Have been through quite a few guitars over the years, first few were restrung righties [along with restringing, also need a new left handed nut and possible bridge work]. Did get a Washburn flying V so at least I didn't have the cutout issue that I had playing right handed LP's, had a few more until I finally got a custom left handed Les Paul.
Now I have 3 Schecters [I'm a shredder and these guitars are optimized for shredding] my LP, nice white Charvel SoCal and a PRS, all custom lefties. Have a very nice ESP and EVH on order, and that should do me. Also have 3 acoustics not pictured, including a high end US Taylor. Unfortunately the only USA made guitar here is the LP, others made in Indonesia or SK - I refuse to buy any chinese made instrument. My coming ESP made in Japan, and the EVH in Mexico - Their USA made models start at $3k, just a bit much for me at the moment. Plus being custom lefties they can take time, mine has been on order nearly half a year, sucks.
Recently installed this wall rack in my cave, was running out of space with standard hangers. These allow them to be swiveled and have more standout to fit more - Got 6 good screws in studs on this so am not worried about a collapse. With 6 hangers, cost about $140 shipped.
For amps I have a Fender Mustang 100 modeling amp, very nice and loud. Also have an Orange, and have my eye on a Blackstar that I was ready to buy until the idiot at guitar center told me to turn it down, whereupon I walked out. For travel I have a Yamaha THR30ll, an astounding little amp that is very loud, rich and clear, has wireless and bluetooth built in, settings can be controlled with a phone. Also have a couple nice Line 6 amps which I am in the process of selling. Spider V2 60 is nice, might keep that one. Not big on pedals/effects don't use them often, do have a couple nice overdrive units and a wah pedal.
