THAT TOY DOLLS SONG ROCKS!!!! Haha...I love the band and am always surprised when I bump into anyone who's ever heard of them. Pity too...Olga's an insanely good guitarist! Not a pop song, but....

Don;t think there's cdlc for any of these, and their really should be.

Only 7.1 for me. Do I just not buy much DLC?

If your note recognition is fine, use an ABY splitter, mute the in-game guitar sound and play through your amps.

Well, my gear's changed around a bit this year. Some stuff sold, other stuff bought. Will get a new family portrait at some point soon.

You might want to look into a thinline tele kit. Get a tele body shape that's also a semi-hollow.

I don't really play songs, or even bits of them, when trying out a new guitar. I mostly start off with cowboy chords, move into a I-V-IV 12 bar and change things up from that, depending on what i feel like. It's generally enough for me to tell if I like the guitar enough to keep going with it.

Tuners are simple and cheap to replace. You'd be looking under $70 for a set of quality locking tuners. Just check sizing, and they're pretty much a drop-in replacement.

Have a ticket for the mighty Gloryhammer(yea, fine, Blind Guardian are headlining, but so what) in May. HOOTS!

Never say never. When I got my Epi(it's the oldest one in the pic, bought new in 2002), I figured I'd never afford a Gibson either.

Pretty much. Back row l-r: Gibson SG Special, Gibson Les Paul Classic, Ibanez DT-520, Jackson Pro Soloist, Gibson 60's Tribute Les Paul, the 'Les Jim'(kit build bolt-on LP with humbucker-size P90s), Fender MIM Telecaster, the 'Telecrapster'(another kit build, just HBs in) In the front: Epiphone LP standard(pickups swapped out, damned if I remember what's in now), Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster, Ibanez S770, Ibanez SGR200(I think) bass. Missing from the lineup is my MIM Strat, because I haven't finished rewiring it yet.

Here's (most of) the collection. Pedalboard not included. http://i.imgur.com/Fqh8H30.jpg

Definitely try the Epiphone LP's. The Standard plustop and Traditional Pro are solid, reliable(well, there's the traditional Epiphone cheapo switch issue, but it should be a few years before that becomes an issue). For the price, they're difficult to beat - as long as that's the sound and feel you're going for. EDIT: Also, if you like your Yamaha, have a look at the new Variax Standard. The gubbinz are all Line6, but the body and neck are Yamaha, and they're a pretty good buy - again, if you like the feel and sound.
