Standout concert: Without a doubt 1978, the original Black Sabbath(tightest I ever saw) and a new group first touring opened for them, Van Halen.

First electric guitar, ordered from JC Penny's catalog in 1972 for $25.00 with an amp. I was bummed, there was so much more to being a guitar god. Damn, how do you tune this thing.
First proper guitar, 1975 Gibson Flying V Limited,I bought it off the rack brand new.Made payments on it, took a year. I still have it.Still very clean and a tremendous all around player.
First Jackson, snow white DK-2
First Charvel, pearl white 1986 Model 2
Favorite guitar(not including my builds), 2007 Jackson DK-1, followed closely by a 1965 Gibson SG Special,also love my old Gibson V.
Holy grail, 1958/59 Gibson Flying V.
Dream guitar, custom built Les Paul Jr,. double cutaway style. Very, very close 2nd would be a CS Jackson King V ,transparent orange flametop with a bunch of way cool hardware. Number of guitars owned, dunno, 12/13+ and some old acoustics.
Current amp of choice, Carvin V-3
Guitar playing style, old school metal, rough, raspy blues
Name one music business person that drives you batshit crazy, .....evil, shithead managers/promoters that steal and lie to the performers.Also fake ass radio stations that "can't seem" to find a way to make money playing all those zillions of songs that don't make the "money rotation chart" playlist. I love you WMSE radio , Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They are my local heroes.
What made you want to play the guitar, atleast play it good,.... Brad Kobbs ,...period. He is my mentor.
First LP record,..actually got them the same time, Black Sabbath/Volume Four and Deep Purple/Machine Head.
