I'm interested to see what type of instruments Mac-Forumers play... and pics too!
I play guitar (along with almost everyone else under the sun...)

I own a Silvertone SS11 Revolver - this was the very first guitar I owned:

And an ESP LTD EC-50 - this was my next guitar... and it's incredible for the price I got it:

And I just ordered this - a beautiful Karrera 12 String Acoustic... I'm in love:

I'm so excited about this one, I can't wait till it gets here...

I play guitar aswell, I have been for 5 years now.

These are currently the only guitars I have, but I'm telling myself I can afford another... Desperately wanting a PGM...

Ibanez J-Custom RG8670TB

1988 Fender HM Strat

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e137/Mylo_the_Mad/HMStrat.jpg

I started mucking about on a piano while I was in 6th form and really enjoyed it, so I got myself one of these about a month ago.

That is one sexy Ibanez... If my next guitar (in a long time...) is not a John 5 Telecaster, it will be an Ibanez of some description. I always wanted a floyd rose...

I was a drummer as a teenager, and a percussionist in a (kind of crappy) orchestra for 8 years. I got into that by default as my father and brother (who are both good musicians) played in the wind section.

I fiddle with the guitar and can knock out a few things on the piano - useful skills as it normally impresses girls :D

I am no expert at any of them, but during the course of learning them I did manage to learn to read music, which is kinda satisfying.

Piano and Trombone...

Mine looks something like this:http://www.interstatemusic.com/wcsstore/InterstateMusic/ims/ipt/BBOYBL421G.jpg

I find piano to be much harder in some ways (so much more going on) and easier in some ways (not blowing air, each note gets a key instead of all notes spread between a few trombone positions, etc). But trombone is so FUN! Sports Band at my high school plays at all the football games every friday...

I used to play electric guitar, but sold it couple years ago. Nowadays I'm just happy with Guitar Hero. We actually had a "garage band" with my buddies.

Having finished my bachelor's degree in music in May, I play quite a few instruments. I majored in Piano Performance and minored in Voice and Conducting. I also play the guitar, tuba, drums, and I also compose and arrange. Other than that, I have, in the past, played the trumpet, flute, clarinet, and bagpipes.

Yeah it's called GAS - Gear Acquisition Syndrome. It bullied me into buying Guitar Rig 3 and Logic 8 today :(

It a sad, pitiful condition, curable by only 2 things - Marriage and taxes.

Marriage has definitely slowed my purchasing. In fact, I've sold a lot of gear since getting married. I'm alright with it, I guess. I like everything I have and have (almost) everything I like.

I've tried to limit myself to 6 guitars at any one time. I still buy, sell and trade when I can. That's half the fun IMO.

I'm currently on an acoustic kick. My Ovation Elite and Fishman Loudbox acoustic amp are getting lots of use.

What amp(s) are you using?

A Laney GH50L a the minute. I've had it for about a year so far and I'm still loving it. I use a Digitech Studio 400 in the effects loop, and that's it. I'm kinda liking the whole raw unprocessed tube goodness so the Digitech has been neglected as of late! :D

On your teal Ibby 570... do the stickers happen to be pink f-holes? :p

What are you using for ampage?
