When I'm not wrenching on the Mustang I like to play acoustic guitar, snowboarding, making homemade beer and collecting model cars.

 
I usually build Mustang kits but I built this for my son who is a Titanic nut.

That's pretty cool! I wouldn't say that I am a Titanic Nut, but it is fascinating! I always watch the Disc Channel and History Channel when they have shows on about the Titanic.

 
Hey there are quite a few musicians here!

I am a dedicated guitar player and over the last 20 years became something like a collector. I have about 20 guitars (some of'em vintage like the the 64 Stratocaster or otherwise collectible) and a cellar full of amps and stuff and I play with two bands.

This being said, I gotta log off, as it is time to pick up our singer and drive to a rehearsal......

Gotta feed that tinnitus! :)

I used to play in a lotta bands over the last 20 years, most of them rock bands, some of them very blues based. (Think "ZZTop, CCR" etc)

I also did some "Top 40" stuff, which is what we call bands that get hired to play covers of classic rock and pop songs and the top 40 stuff that is in the charts at that given time. Those are for dance nights on weekends (also New Year's Eve, Carnival, corporate parties etc). Those are a lot of work, as it goes for about 5 hours without a break and you gotta switch styles continuously. ( From Dr Alban to ZZTop in 5 minutes...!)

Right now, I play in two bands, as I mentioned before.

One is a rock band where we play mostly our own material and do one or two covers just for the fun of it. (Called "Pilli Pilli")

The other band is my "baby". It is a tribute band to Melissa Etheridge, where we obviously only play Melissa's songs. It's named "Little Secret" after the hit album from the nineties.

That one is really great fun, mostly Telecasters and vintage Fender amps. (The guitarholics know what I'm talking about!)

As our singer doesn't play guitar, I get to play a lot of the 12 string acoustic too.
