Oh yeah, now I remember that post.
Andy, if you have have a Gibson Les Paul, I KNOW you have talent 
I'm of the need it but can't college student variety, so I have my American Standard Fender Strat, and a Fender Acoustic/Electric. My amp is *okay*, but nothing to begin to brag about, and a digital effects pedal (with wah effect).
I have no talent either...I've been playing for six years, but haven't really gotten better since my fourth year. I need an instructor.
Oh, my dad has a Gibson Les Paul, too. It plays NiCeLy.
