I've been playing since I was 14. Around the time I started getting into music, I started working part-time and spent my first few hundred on a used Epiphone Les Paul at the local shop. Played in a couple bands in high school and early uni, but never really played any gigs, just jammed with friends and wrote some songs that we never did anything with. I live in the city now, in a small place, so my electric and my amp and stuff are all at my parents' place. I'd love to get back into playing with people, though.
For most of the last ten years, I guess, I've just been playing acoustic. This is my main guitar, an Ovation Celebrity that I love with all my heart. Eventually I'll splurge on a nice Taylor, but this thing plays really nice. I used to write a lot of songs in my early 20s, but due to the living situation (me and my partner in a small place, thin floors/walls between neighbours), I haven't done so recently. Still try to play a few times a week, though, even if it's just playing a few songs from my old repertoire.
