hmm...let me try to recall...
- a secondhand black Aria Pro guitar back when i was in high school. body was similar to a Gibson-type. i cannot recall the exact model because it's been long ago and it was just given to me by my uncle. after having it with me for days, i returned it agad to him because it was too heavy for me.
- my tito exchanged this for a brand new red RJ Rokker stratocaster a few weeks after. from what i know, nung time na yun, RJ Rokker guitars were made in Korea. it was a lightweight guitar, mas bagay sa akin. used it during our church's Battle of the Bands where i played rhythm guitar. had it with me for about two or three years. i gave it to my tito when i found myself not having time anymore to do music.
- when i was working already, i borrowed a beat-up red Gibson SG from my tito. am not sure if it was original or what, but it did look like an SG and sounded like one. used it for a company gig. unfortunately, i left it in the office rehearsal room and never got it back again because i since resigned from the company. no one know where it is now
sayang, i could have kept it and restored it.
- in 2008, i borrowed my dad's bluegreen Fender Precision bass MIM with DiMarzio pickups for a company gig, and when i was starting to like it, i found out he was already able to find a buyer for it
- in Dec 2008, i bought a Dean Edge 1 bass guitar which was my first bass guitar. bought from my tito new. used it for a year during two company gigs. sold it here on PM to upgrade.
- a Yamaha C80 acoustic guitar, my very own acoustic as i always borrowed my dad's guitars in the past.
- in Dec 2009, i bought a brand new vintage white Fender Precision bass. used it for one gig pa lang, but looking forward to using it more this year.
- a Fender Telecaster MIJ bought from a friend just the other day. wanted to have both a bass and electric guitar handy so i could play whatever.
yun lang
