Well folks, frustration has gotten the better of me. At long last, and after man years of mediocre playing and wasted money, I'm quitting guitar. That it. No more. Whoever wants my gear can have it. I'll even pay shipping. It's all going. Here's the list of stuff and you're welcome to all of it!
Jackson SL1 Soloist
Jackson SL3 Soloist
Jackson Dinky
Gibson Les Paul Custom
Fender Strat Plus
Fender Strat Fat Strat
Fender Standard Strat
Schecter Hellraiser
Schecter Blackjack
Ovation Legend
Musicman Stingray
Fender Jazz Bass
Axe-FX Ultra
Behringer Headphone Amp
Mackie MR5 Studio Monitors
iMac 24
PC i7 Processor with Windows 7
Toneport KB37
Roland V-Tour Drum Kit
Parker Dragonfly
First come first serve and fair the well!

Can I have all of it?! ... Kidding of course. Ehh, don't worry about sounding good. If you want to play just to wow people, it is not good enough. You should play just for yourself.
You are FAR better than you give yourself credit for. Believe me, I promise. And I dare you to prove me otherwise.

I hope its an April Fools man...
I am on the same path as yours.. I quit long time ago thinking I couldn't really cross that limit and I am never going to be a good guitarist. Please don't give up man. I am even subscribing your youtube channel just to get some inspiration and what fellow guitarists are doing.
Patience is virtue as they say. I am even giving up jobs (work) to learn and become better at this point. But the secret is always practice and PUSH yourself.
Hope you will have some energy after you are back from vacation.

Just think back to why you really started, and how far you've come in guitar. That always makes me feel better when I get frustrated and seem like I'm going nowhere (happens a lot!)
I do hope it's April Fool's too, but if you truly are quitting, I will gladly take the MR5s. 
Posted by: lcsdds Apr 1 2010, 05:49 AM
I'll take the Strats too........
Hey.....could you throw in the Oven Mitts you used in that youtube vid you did as well.....I think it will really help my legato and tapping......

Posted by: Wabba Apr 1 2010, 06:06 AM
No, i don't think you should quit guitar, i really hope that this is an aprils fool or something like that

This better be a joke .. If it is .. then " haha" 
Iif it isnt, .. You just need to be snapped out of whatever it is you're smokin !!
But if you still wanna satisfy the philanthropist in you, then make it a competition rather than giving it away to anyone who won't understand the value of it.
I still cant believe your post. Snap outta it Tom !!!!

That's a nice april's fool!
Nevertheless, I'll take the Pc i7, the Ovation, the Les Paul Custom, the Axe-FX, the Jazz Bass and the Drum kit. So I can finally play all these instruments for real and don't have to program it.
Posted by: Marcus Siepen Apr 1 2010, 07:44 AM
If this is a prank for the 1st of April, ok, we laughed, if you are serious then you better think twice. We all have those moments from time to time, in which we think we don't progress at all, but as long as we keep working we will always overcome such moments. Think about it... and as a thank you I would accept the Les Paul

Can I have your oven mitts?!
Posted by: purple hayes Apr 1 2010, 01:33 PM
If you quit driving, can I have your car?
Posted by: NoSkill Apr 1 2010, 02:11 PM
Thanks for being good sports. My love of guitar will never die! Nor my love of my Jackson's.
Posted by: purple hayes Apr 1 2010, 02:13 PM
But you really don't like driving that much, right?
Posted by: NoSkill Apr 1 2010, 02:17 PM
If I could sleep in my car, cuddled up to one of my Jackson's AND stay married....I'd work it out. LOL
And thank you, everyone for your encouragement. I appreciate the kind words. And to all the addresses that were PM'd to me, go stand out on the curb. The UPS is coming. Really. He is. Just stand there and wait.

The real joke is when a tiny package containing a 1/28th scale model of the guitar you wanted shows up.
Posted by: lcsdds Apr 1 2010, 02:50 PM
I already got dibs on those.....
Posted by: NoSkill Apr 1 2010, 03:14 PM
Nice! If they are gone, you can have the Washburn, that I used to defend myself!

I have a collection of ex-wives. At one point, more than I had guitars. That was something I had to rectify and believe I have done so. You're welcome to any of them. They can't end up hating you any more than they hate me.

At first I thought you might be serious, but then I thought ... hey, he's only had that Axe-Fx a very short while.
Posted by: Marcus Siepen Apr 2 2010, 02:00 PM
I don't care if you were serious or not, I want that Les Paul!!!!
Posted by: NoSkill Apr 2 2010, 03:01 PM
LOL! Awesome! I'll will any Gibson's I acquire along the way!
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Apr 2 2010, 05:45 PM
