Post your instruments/gear/equipment here and brag if you want.

 

 

My gear:
 

[Spoiler=Spoiler]

 

MIM Telecaster 72 Deluxe

Decent guitar, love the feel.  Alder body, Fender wide-range humbuckers, maple fret-board.   Unlike normal Telecasters it has two volume knobs allowing for some serious on-the-fly tone switching like on a Les Paul.  

 

Marshall MG FX50

Honestly not that great of an amp.  It works for practicing but has noticeable build-quality issues.  Tone is alright, but it is a solid-state amp, so it will only go so far.  The overdrive channel is decent.

 

Boss ME-70

It's a digital multi-effects pedal, but it's convenient as hell.  You're basically getting every digital Boss pedal in one board (for better or for worse.)  It's also got decent amp modeling which can be useful for recording.

My guitarist's rig is at my place, so i'm gonna say it's mine and brag about it like it is because I probably play on it more than he does.

[spoiler=Le rigz]2qsw22x.jpg[/spoiler]

Top cab is a Mesa 2x12 recto, and the bottom is an Orange 4x12 with V30s (don't remember the model name)

Head is a Mesa Boogie Mark V 90watt

Korg rack tuner

He changed the switcher on the rack shelf recently and I don't know what it is.

We've been looking for an Axe-Fx, I love the interface and we'd plan on running it direct through the power amp (which we'll have to buy) to the cab. For live sound we'll probably just run it through the PA and monitors, depending on the venue. A la Periphery :3

I'm more of a drummer than a guitar player, but whatever lol.

Daaayyyuuum son, that's some nice gear.  I'm definitely getting a Mark V (or maybe a Peavey 5150, idk) if I can ever afford it.  I know a lot of metal bands are going digital/direct now, and while I do prefer a more traditional setup it is so much more convenient.  I have pulled a muscle in my back carrying amps, and they were just small combos. 

 

How do like the RG7321?  I'm in the market for a six-string right now, but I definitely want to have a 7 as well to have some diversity in keys.

For the money, if you want a new guitar, the 7321 is one of the better options out there in general. Or, if you prefer a floating trem over a fixed bridge, you could scour on CL or Ebay and try and find a 7620 or 1527 for cheap.

 

But, more on the 321::::::::: The neck on the thing is pretty god damn beefy, it's flatter and really nice for very technical playing. If you buy it new, I'd recommend tossing the stock pickups. They're muddy, flat and the sound horrific- I don't like them. 

 

If you like active pickups, and you mind having the extra battery mounted in the body, I used to run an EMG 81 in the bridge and an 85 in the neck. The 81 is harsh as shit, but running both gives a smoother tone and a nice balance.

 

If you prefer passives, I really like Bare Knuckle Blackouts and Misha's line of BKPs offer real great bass control and nice mid and high-end tones. I've also loved every Seymour Duncan I've put into the thing.

Cool, that's pretty much exactly what I was thinking.  It's a fairly cheap guitar so I could probably justify getting some Bare Knuckles.  But yeah, those stock Ibanez pickups are pretty bad.
