I first was a member here in 2013 when I bought a Gibson LP 60s Tribute. But, a few years ago, I sold it to concentrate more on bass, which I play at church along with drums. But, last week, I picked up a guitar that belonged to a friend and decided that I really needed to get back.

I've played guitar since the middle 60s, and my first electric was a Harmony Bobkat which I should have kept as it is worth a few bucks now. But, I took about 40 years off from guitar to work, teach, go to grad school, have a family, and stuff like that.

Since I have wanted a Strat since I was 16 and, at 71, I decided to go for it. It should be here early next week. You can see it in my avatar. I also re-joined Guitar Tricks and plan to get back to learning!
