I really don't know what the heck I could label myself as - my closest match is a Hipster and a Pro - but I can't stand Hipsters.....

I dunno, what do you call a guy who fit's THIS description.....

GEAR: #1 guitar is a Jag-Stang with EMG pickups in it, has a large armory of guitars for a non-famous person, all of them either cheap, offset, or home-built. Has a concise if cluttered pedalboard full of pedals most other guitarists find confusing to use. Plays through a hacked-up and modified 1st edition buggy Bugera 333XL with a old Peavey Cabinet that he found at a pawn shop. Uses some non-guitar parts in his repairs and builds but uses them unexpectedly well. The gear is the most confusing.

Technique: I'm a mix of pro and hipster - clean and precise with good phrasing but I'm also a bit angular and avant garde due to my exploitation of the "easter eggs" contained in my gear, or turning into a neophyte Kurt Cobain when pissed off.

Venue: Usually that long-standing downtown dive bar that is the bar version of the ratty rusty old beater car that runs great and is a melting pot for the local scene.
