I just got a free guitar amp from a friend of mine, only one catch, it's supposed to be broken.  Guess I'm just going to have to buy a guitar, and learn to play, so I can test out this broken amp.  It's probably a more constructive hobby than playing Xbox I suppose.  That, and the fact that I live in an apartment complex, so wrenching on cars is out of the question. Thinking of maybe going with an Ibanez, since they are the most popular for playing heavy metal, which is the music I listen to most of the time.  Maybe I can find a new way to annoy the neigbors, with bad guitar playing instead of artillery, gunfire from my stereo.
