I've only been playing for four years, had a beater lying around since 2007, but didn't really have the means of getting serious with it (something I really wish I could go back and change). Currently I'm kind of in a state of uncertainty as to whether or not I want to continue trying. The six months I went without playing really did a number on me mentally... There are just so many different variables, excuses and other things going on, but I don't want to just quit. That's four measly years I'll have wasted if I just quit, but the struggle to overcome myself is all too real. Anyhue, the guitars in the pic are a Jackson PS3 (currently OoC) and an Ibanez RGA8 with Bare Knuckle Aftermath pups. I really don't have much interest in 8 strings at this particular time but I couldn't find a 6 string that I wasn't willing to make do with. Saw a 7 string on the same site I bought the RGA from, but I was feeling too apprehensive about jumping to a 7, ended up waiting too long and someone bought it. Then I saw the RGA listed with the Bare Knuckles, saw the price and jumped on it. Even though it's really not what I wanted, I'm still happy over the fact I was able to buy something for myself for once. My amp can't handle the F# though and my only cable is messed up and I'm broke, so unfortunately I haven't really been playing much.
