Here's some of my gear
This first shot will be of my recording set up and my Carvin Bolt-T kit (Strat copy), Carvin DC150 custom shop order, and Carvin B4 bass. This pic probably shows the Sansamp PSA1 rack unit and I no longer have that. This is 'Electric Geezerland Studios'.

Here's a shot of me playing on my #1 gig guitar, a Washburn EA11 Festival series. It's identical to last year's model EA17. I'm playing it through my Carvin AG100D amp.

My other electric is a Washburn Lyon series 'Fat Strat' I snagged for $50 in a pawn shop! I replaced the stock pickups w/Carvins putting humbuckers in all positions using an M22SD in the bridge and 2 Twinblade pups in the middle and neck. And in this shot you can see my electric gigging amp, a Laney VC30-210. I have a couple of other acoustics, a Seagull S6+ Folk and an Oscar Schmidt OG10CE.

Your golden if you have a guitar teck in the family. It means you can buy a cheapy and upgrade to a very nice guitar. A real big thing at Harmony Central ids buying agile les pauls and upgrading them, They rave about how close you can get to the tone of a gibbson lp after the upgrades. They are kindof fanatics about it to the point of it becoming a joke. "agiles play 75% as well as a lp and are ten times cheaper" is their war cry.lol

yeah, I did the pickup swaps and I built that Carvin Bolt-T kit. I had to swap pots on the Washburn Lyon too, and I added that little mini toggle switch. It's an 'on/off' switch and what it does is when it's 'on' it'll add the bridge pickup to the 4th and 5th positions of the stock 5 way selector giving me 7 pickup combinations. If I want them. It turns position 5 into bridge and neck and position 4 into all three pickups on.
Strat style guitars really lend themselves to learning how to do stuff on a guitar. They are, by far, the easiest to work on. A tremelo bridge can throw some curves at you but typically one can pick up parts and cobble a decent guitar w/o too much trouble.

I have an Agile AL-2000 Les Paul and I wouldn't switch ANYTHING on it (see the "My Family" thread in the Gear forum)...It plays SWEET! I might get the black AL-2000 with the p90's...at $159 they are a STEAL!

Ya,that AL-2000 with the P90s is sweet. I am with you. I listen to guitars with my ears,not my eyes. I don't care what the label says, tone is everything and I think agile lps come very close to the gibbons.
