Yeah, I play - my set up is a chair. I have a thin-body Alvarez w/ built in pickup that, run through a dist. pedal and an amp gets really close to Neil Young in his Crazy Horse days. The amp is sweet - a '67 Fender reverb that I got for a song (pun intended) I had the speakers re-coned a while back and the capacitors replaced. No solid-state here, just tubes and the mechanical reverb (if you've never seen one of these, they're pretty cool.) Finally, I bought material that dupes the original and re-covered the front. All the pots work, etc. The amp is fun, but I'm usually unplugged.
Also, I have a Les Paul that I rarely play. It's an '83 and heavy as hell. I also have a kid who can play anything and he'll probably get it someday.
I like all kinds of stuff - Neil, U2, Rolling Stones, John Prine, Cowboy Junkies, Pink Floyd. Stuff on the radio I can pick the basics out in one pass and then it morphs into something I can handle. Even though I'm from Texas, I don't listen to or play much country.
