Never played myself, but I do have a style of guitars named after me.  :)

And example, the Martin SP00-16RST "Stauffer"

Wild looking headstock on that.
Martins are quality.

Here is my baby. A 1979 Ibanez Artist (copy of a Gibson ES335) complete with Seymour Duncan pickups. I need to find a replacement pickguard. I spotted this rare beauty in a local pawn shop.

I should have guessed the Paul Reed Smith implication in your nickname. I have always been in love with those guitars, being some kind of dream to never come true. Even some years ago I bought that special book in limited edition that tells the story of the man, the company and the line up. When I went to the US I thought to myself: "this is the time, I will go back to Spain with a PRS in the overhead bin". Went to a music dealer, checked one out... to discover I was as lousy a player as with my cheapo korean guitar, so I decided not to buy until I could justify the expense.


Congratulations on your PRS.

I've currently got a Left-Handed Kramer Focus 1000, which is like the Baretta.  When I get back I'm getting a LH Fender Highway 1 Strat, dunno why, but I've always wanted a Strat.

I'm also gonna have a custom guitar builder down in Aussie-land build me a LH Mosrite Ventures II, customized to be a carbon-copy of Johnny Ramone's Mosrite.  It'll be teh awesomez.  I'll bet it'll be the only LH "Mosrite" in the world.

I have had MANY...
To many to list..
Also many of the many were stolen from me, including half stacks, full stacks, collector vintage guitars, a custom PRS, as well as many other custom things including a Fender practice amp that was supposedly used the night that Steve Ray Vaughn played at Austin City limits with BB King - Rumour has it both of them played it before the show >:(

Anyway here is the latest trusted steed. I have had this one for about 5 years. As you can see the neck is pretty worn in. No finish on the back of the neck. Nice and naked - the way I want my woman to be  ;D

Some think the amp is too small. At 80 watts with a vintage celestion greenback and the GSP Pro21, it can play just about any venue I want. As a matter of fact it is frequently too much for small clubs.  ::)

The Digitech effects processor is quite old but it has a good reputation. How would you rate it? Do you have the midi footboard?

I give the unit 10 out of 10 and yes I have the controller. It also has the updated chipset. I am so rough on foot controllers, I never use it unless I am playing a gig. Usually I am at point blank range to the amp anyway when practicing, unless I walk around with the wireless, which again the foot controller would not help me.  ;D
