Behind it you can see a Squier Strat by Fender - Affinity Series and a really crappy Esteban guitar that I had as my first acoustic. Please note I did not buy the Esteban craptar. My grandmother had bought it off HSN for my brother and he wasn't interested in it, so I basically swindled it from them.
Here's my Squier Strat wannabe electric. And the crappy Esteban - please note again - I did not buy the Esteban. Who buys guitars from Home Shopping Network? 89 year old grandmothers, and also my mother for my birthday. That's who. I promptly had my mother return the one she got me. She was really excited to get me a new guitar - so I tried to be nice about it (eg: I didn't tell her how badly the guitar sucked.)
My cheapo Rogue A-Style Mandolin. $50 bucks - no truss rod - action on it kinda sucks - but I bought it to see if I was into the Mando. I may be buying a newer more expensive one soon.
My cheapo Mando again. I still love it, even though tuning it (forget about restringing it) is a bitch.
Life is a song on the beach.
