No, it's actually a vintage 70's Aria Pro 2. My second guitar and the first electric. The photo doesn't show but it has a dragon carved into the body which as I understand is extremely rare.

As much as I beat up on fenders, I gotta say they play like butter. This one has the sweetest neck of any guitar I own. If I could actually play I'd probably have a few more of 'em.

Used to play the piano, and I bought a guitar while I was in Korea but 12-14 hr days and working on my MBA caused me to stop taking lessons.

I plan on taking them both back up when I'm done with my MBA.  Gonna have to buy a piano, but I've been saving my pennies for that :)

I also played the clarinet for a short while when I was a kid, but I didn't really enjoy that too much.  My wife played the piano and flute as a kid, so she'll also enjoy the piano when we finally buy one.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

I played the trombone in high school.

Now I play the marching baritone/euphonium in a local all age drum corps.  Check out our site here

We compete around the country as a member of Drum Corps Associates.  We are looking for horn players and drummers if anyone is interested.  We have rehearsal this Saturday.  Maps are on the website.

I am as tone deaf as they come but I spawned a kid who's rather brilliant on the piano. He's 14yo now and we started him on it at 5yo. Actually he plays three instruments.

                    And daddy is starting to think full college scholarship now.

Played piano for 2 years (forced piano lesson at age 11 and 12) Started playing 6-string guitar at 13. Got a Fender at age 16 and sold it at age 18 in order to buy a train ticket headed west. :cool:   Haven't picked up a guitar since.

I can play a mean Kazoo!

LOL

Played a litle guitar when I was a teen
And I DO mean a little

Took the bass fiddle in grade school.
But only cause I couldnt join chorus for another year.


Used to by all accounts actually have a a pretty good singing voice.
But smoking ruined that

Now I can just play a mean kazoo

:p
