My wife bought me a Jay Turser 200D with a Tiger Eye finish. (http://www.jayturser.com/jt-200d.php)

I picked up a Marshall MGD10CD amp and medium quality cable.

Right now I'm using Cool (medium - .75) picks. I need the extra grip as I'm recovering from a bad injury to my right wrist and forearm.

I don't have much else except for a carrying case that I use to take my guitar back and forth to lessons.

My teacher (who's been playing for 25+ years) was quite impressed with the JT-200D. She liked the sound, tone and quality -- especially when she found out how much we paid for it.

I'm still playing stock strings but think it's time to get some decent ones next time I'm at the shop.

Speaking of the shop - I'll grab a picture or two next time I'm there and post it.
