Cars and Guitars

This is probably the wrong place for this, but here it goes anyway... 80% of my local RX-8 owners play guitar. Is this a trait of the RX-8 owner or is this unique for my area? I've noticed a few on here, including myself that play.

Always wanted to learn the guitar. I'm too clumsy though. It will take me approx 2 min to type just this short paragraph...

What I really should have said was musically inclined... not guitar in particular.

Been playing for about 10 years now. I slimmed my pedal board down as I get several of the effects I want like reverb and chorus off my half stack. Been through many guitars but these are the ones I shred on now, two custom Ibanez's.

Played Bass in multiple band from the late 80s until around 2000. Then I switched to acoustic guitar/lead vocals for a 3 piece acoustic band for 6 years. Don't play much anymore, but still pick it up once in awhile. Still have all my gear (except my lovely Trace Elliot rig I swapped for a Red Head in the late late 90s. Biggest mistake I ever made

I recently picked up an Epiphone SG. I can only play well enough to drive mice away from my house. I sound slightly better than white noise.

I have 2 partscaster strats, a partscaster tele, A breedlove acoustic, and shitty old 12 string and a kit LP knockoff that's terrible. I have a Mesa Boogie DC-3 as my one and only amp.

Previously i've had a Vox AC15cc, a Fender Blues Deluxe RI, a 1970 Fender Champ, and a 1975 Fender Super twin. I've had too many guitars over the years to name off, but the two i miss the most are my Gretsch Double Anni and a Fender Tele Nashville.

Damn, I love Messa Boggie!! IMO, one of the best sounding guitar amps out there. The friggin crunch you can get out of those amps is amazing...I love a MB set up!!

I am just starting to learn how to play guitar.... BUT... my to be father-in-law has moved up to jersey, he left 15 guitars down here. all signed. I have a couple others that I practice on which are on wall mounts in my home office but I am thinking of converting one of our guestrooms into a music room. Hang all the guitars up for show

Apparently we have 2 bass guitars which are 2 of only 8 ever made. I dont know a hell of a lot about guitars as I play sax but from what the in law tells me they are $$$

Played classical guitar for many years, but a slight case of Dupuytrens's contrature has made it very difficult to play.

So for now, I'll just have to listen to the beautiful Ana Vidovic.

I've been playing the guitar for about 9 years now. I've got a jackson guitar, marshall amp, and various pedals. I also have an ibanez for backup.

Redline. Nice rig. I really like the Ibanez guitars also, but my baby is a Mahogany Jackson Soloist with tiger striped maple top and ebony fret board. The Seymour JB4 pickup combined with a Marshall JCM 800... is tone heaven for me. Are those Elixir strings? I prefer D'Addario and I went to .009's, but had to add a spring to my Floyd Rose. Richer tone ya know. How's that Bad Monkey? I haven't tried that yet, but they sure are popular. I also see that you understand the pedal sequence.

That's what all the R3 owners keep telling me... the ones who drive blue ones anyway.
