Yeah, I was a bit vague in my question there. Nice collection there. Didn't know Squire did any hollow-bodies. Just had a look at some. Pretty nice. Is your's the Tele style?
I've got my eye on this right now, but I'm still kinda on the fence.

It was one of the original market testers, before they started importing them in mass. An ex girlfriend got it for me. It was on the wall for just under $1000 and she put it on layaway. I had no idea. She had it 3 weeks later.
I had no idea that there were limited series versions of guitars. I had a guy at my old job that kept trying to
buy it off of me. I'm not sure why. The pickups are the same (double duncan humbuckers) and it looks the same in the pics. Action is awesome though, and the sound is incredible.
I have a behringer acx1000 amp, with triple pedals. I plug in my pedalboard and can get a ton of sounds mixing the amp and the board.
I use a Lexicon Omega Pro to attach to my Mac when I record. I haven't tried it on my Macbook Pro though. When the iMac died (the one I did the review videos with), I got a Macbook Pro. Then I gave that one to my daughter for school, and got a new Macbook Pro about a year ago. So, most of my recording equipment is in the closet.
I have a nice Boss drum machine, and a Casio keyboard, so I can get pretty close to a full band sound. Need a bass though. Can't get that perfect bass sound electronically.
As for recorded stuff, I don't have anything from my old band anymore. The breakup was pretty bad, and much of it was my fault. I got in a fight with John (the lead guitarist). We kept arguing over everything. I told him I was done, and he was out. He laughed and told me that if he was leaving, the band was going with him. I laughed at him, and
threw him out... then watched everyone follow him out. I learned humility pretty fast. Sean (the rhythm guitarist) came back 2 weeks later asking me to be the lead singer for his new band. I guess the band just ended up ending. I was still mad at Sean for walking out, so I didn't join. I've never played professionally again.
I still play for my baby boy (instant sleep time), and the wife (instant aphrodisiac). The kids like to listen when I pick up the guitar. I still write stuff, but it is mostly for me. I don't have the voice I used to. 10 years ago, it just started going. All of the years of smoking finally caught up with me. With
vaping, it has improved, but it is nothing like it used to be.
