Shiells Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hi, I'm new to the forum and new to Gibson. I've been playing guitar for about 25 years, and I also play violin. I'm mostly a rock guitar player, but my musical interests include classical, blue grass, heavy metal and outlaw country, among other styles. I grew up listening to punk rock. Yesterday, I purchased my first Gibson. It's a 2016 cherry Gibson Explorer HP. I bought that to play through a Peavey 6505+ combo. I have another guitar; it's a Fender American Vintage 1969 Telecaster Thinline, which I play through a Benson Hotrod Deluxe. So, one setup is for incredible distortion and the other is for pristine clean tones, heaven and hell, sort of. My guitar heroes are pretty typical, I think: Kenny Burrell and Johnny Marr come to mind right a way. Another one is Tony Iommi. Probably my favorite group lately is Tyr.
