Found some pics of my early guitars!
First guitar I owned. Onyx Les Paul with plywood body but it looked and played ok!
I then bought an Onyx "strat" similar to one of Adrian Smith's Jacksons (sort of)!!!!
My first amp is also there, the Gorilla! I still own it! The other Onyx and amp were a friend's! I set his action a little lower but his neck was crappolla!!!!
And last but not least, the first instrument I owned! My Conqueror (!?!?!?) drum kit with a Maxtone snare!!! The pearl wrap had faded bad so I put "Contact book covering" on it to spruce it up and it doesn't look that bad!!! Rotos were a knock-off not Remos, cymbals were all old Paistes except the hats which were Ufips and the splash which was a no name! The 16" Paiste China was my 17th birthday present! Still have it, the rotos and the snare!

Promises made, crying in vain, all empty. Never accepting the blame and not letting go of the shame. A river of tears, as months turn to years, all wasted. On someone not willing to change.Now only a shadow remains!
