I have a Fender Squier guitar (called Zoe ^^), some flutes and my voice...
In comparison to yours instruments mine are only toys... but I can't "control" my tiny Squier 
Will I learn to play music one day??

Time is everything ...
And I think it will take me a few years until I can play my fretless bass correctly :p

I hope so, too! 
When I visit my father, I play his old Gibson SG http://www.gibson.com/Files/img/sgs-hc.jpg. It's old and needs some maintainace, but it works.
Also I hope I'd learn to sing someday...

Hey Mika, nice job with the fretless bass! Im actually going to buy a cheap guitar tommorow to make into a fretless. I can't read French (I looked at that page you made), so if you have any hints about the job it'd be cool to know? Thanks!

Thanks, but you don't have to go through any trouble. I also found this website that has good information about fretless guitars and a lot of links and stuff. Worth a look if you're interested...

I bought a new guitar today! I just got paid for work, and went on a hunt for a RR V Jackson, however they don't come with 24 frets anymore apparently.... so I went and bought this one 2nd hand. Only problem is that I haven't tuned it yet (and Im not too sure how to with the floyd rose, just reading about that now...) I've played it a bit, and it sounds great. My mate and I are gonna clean it up and re-string it soon, so it should be fun!

I'm so called, old school guitarist, I'm using 22 frets only... 24 are confusing and never gonna use them. 22 frets is enough for me.
You should adjust the Floyd in the way where bottom plate is equally with fingerboard or little bit tilted to strings, but never tilted backwards.
This way it keeps in tune perfectly and you can damp strings easily.

So soon after buying the last one, I bought a new second hand guitar! This one is a 7 string with 22 frets and regular trem system. It needs a re-string, but apart from that it is pretty cool and .... well, just a standard 7 string. I'm having fun learning new things. Here's a pic:

Many times it's better buy second hand equipment than new.
If they have been around sometime and been in the good form, it's cheaper and easier customize the to your own desires.
Some people buys an expensive equipment and just after couple of months they are selling them for different reason in cheap prizes, time to hit!
Usually mics change and all the wireing re-do is enough, sometimes fret job and little bit adjustment is allright.

Yeah, I agree. Instead of buying one guitar, I bought 2 for cheaper. Im really liking the 6 string, but I can see why you don't like the middle mic. That thing gets in the way all the time and it doesn't really serve much purpose for me... other than that, its a great guitar. I still need to re-string it, so hopefully I don't stuff up with the floyd rose.
The 7 is pretty good as well. Its a GIO which I think are cheaply made in Indonesia, so it's a good muck around guitar. If I start really liking 7 string, I can buy a better one later. I actually have a story with that though. I was restringing it with lighter strings, and I just left the old strings on the ground next to my amp. When I played on it a while, I put the guitar down and sparks came out from behind my amp. I thought I'd blown it up! I had a look, and one of the old strings had somehow gone into the power socket and the whole thing had blown. Very, very wierd. Im lucky I didn't decide to throw those strings in the bin or I would've eletrecuted myself! Luckily my amp is OK. So the lesson is, throw old strings in the bin straight away!

Well, playing guitar currently, been doing it for about 2-3 years.
Got this ARX-100 --> http://www.alternativasmusicales.com/catalog/images/ARX100_CA.jpg
Got the ARX on this xmas, love it!
And one crappy Ibanez GIO ----> http://app.infopia.com/img/image/fp/vpid/1538864
On this GIO one i dropped the string tune down 1 step to play the few Tarot songs I can
If you think closely Zac, you might remember me from the GIO guitar.
