Was in bands from 78(garage) till 87ish(played bars dozen times that summer). Guitars collected dust until about 2005, now i just doodle around, occasionally jam up my friends house. Building all manners of tube amps, telecasters, strats, winding pickups, scratch and pcb pedals(collected few thousand germanium transistors here), has been my hobby since 2005. I think last count there was 35 guitars here, maybe 10 handbuilt, close to 20 tube amps, piles of handmade pedals (sell pedals occasionally on reverb and Ebay), pickups probably a hundred or so strat/tele single coil, few humbuckers. I fix tube amps, convert transistors amps to tube, pedals, multi-effect units, rewire guitars etc,etc. Always into electronics so for me it's never ending and never boring.
Any rock burners play any instruments?

I saw Willie Nelson play the guitar and knew there was no use of me learning as he had it mastered. Tried harmonica until I saw his harmonica player and quit that too. I cant whistle so I gave up

I played the French horn in 4th grade. It was horrible. I was horrible. After that I got a bucket so I could carry a tune. Then I played a lot of records. And then hundreds of cassettes and cds.
