hey there...i've got way too much gear for the lack of talent i have...i usually "trade up" small gear to get a hold of some nice pieces...i hate payin' full price...you'd be surprised how much your old gear is worth on a trade in...here's a pic of my mini "wall-of-sound"...missing from the pic is my newly acquired fender gdec...ya gotta get one...it has the same technology as the fender cybertwin...it's awesome...

Gibson SG: $350 15 years ago
G&L Tribute Legacy: $500 last year
Soldano SLO: $3500 last year
Soldano 4x12 cab: $1100 last year
1/2 broken Art mixer: free
Computer: $1000 or so, but I already had it when I started using for music...
Hmmm...does the Ford Ranger I bought to cart my shit count as music gear?
I am a computer type programmer like person. I don't make a whole lot. The Soldano has not been completely paid for yet
Money spent on music gear is money well spent...

This is my major purchases:
Edwards LP: 10 000 SEK = $1400
Acoustic Guitar: 2500 SEK = $350
Cort LP: 3000 SEK = $425
Stratocaster copy of unknown brand and origin: 900 SEK = $130
Peavey Bandit: 4000 or 5000 SEK (can't remember) = $570 - $700
As you can see instruments are a bit more expensive here in Sweden than in the states. The stratocaster I got as my first guitar is about as cheap as they come.
I'd like to get some money soon. I've got a lot of stuff I want to buy!
EDIT: oh yeah, and what I work with... Right now I work at a super market, gonna continue my studies soon tho. So I don't have the greatest income.

Started playing 8 months ago - still can't play shit but have been bitten by the equipment bug - determined that what little I do know is gonna sound good:
- Ibanez GRX20L with replaced bridge pickup (Dimarziio Super Distortion) - $300 US.
- Jackson DK2 Lefty - $550 US
- GT8 Modeller / Effects Processor - $450 US
- 2 Behringer Kx100 Keyboard / PA Amps - 500 US.
- Zoom G2 Modeller / Effect Processor - $100 US.
- Few wee boxes to beef things up (Behringer GI100 DI Box X 2, Behringer Ultragain Mic Pre-Amp). $150 US
- Peavey KB1 20 Watt partable Amp. - $100 US
- Cables - $50 US.
Grand Total (so far): $2200 US
I'm in I.T. and my kid moved out last year (meaning I get to spend on myself for a change).

700 bucks for my Flextone II amp, 350 for the POD, 1500 for the wolfie, about 400 for the Les Paul and that's it for me for a long time.
I'm always broke and I'm a cheap bastard, so no guitar expenses on the horizon for yours truly.
