This is the only guitar photo I have. I'll try to take more. I'm really excited to see what appears in this thread.

Not a great picture, but here's my babies all crammed in my little den space.
Clockwise from the left: 80's Squire Strat with dual humbuckers, First Act Paul Westerberg Signature model, replica '72 U.S. Fender Tele Thinline w. dual humbuckers, '74 Martin D-18, early 00's Martin DX-1R, and an ancient round bellied European mandolin thing that used to be my brother-in-laws before he passed away. I also have a Little Martin 3/4 model I forgot about but it's in the room where my wife is sleeping. Next time!

Oscar Schmidt by Washburn
Ibanez I want to say RJ series? Traded a Mexican Strat for it and don't know
Epiphone junker for camping and boating
Samick Artist Series SD-280CS with Lacewood top
Alvarez AJ60 12s
Lanikai LPK-T
Fender DG22 Maple top
SGR by Schecter- junker electric included in the trade for the Mexican Strat
The Alvarez 12s is my favourite, it plays like a 6 string and sounds like it's got 24. I do about 70% of my playing on it.
The Samick has incredible volume, it's the same volume as the Fender and it has electric strings on it. Very loud, warm and deep tone, a very baritone sounding dreadnought. It doesn't play easily, and really shines on chords more than notes. Always the loudest guitar in a jam.
The Fender is too bright for me, it's a very pretty tone, but I like the bass tones more than treble.
The Oscar Schmidt plays like an electric and sounds like an acoustic, it's a real treat to play. It does weigh about 6,000 lbs though, so a stool is a necessity.
Pictures without description work, descriptions without pictures, not so much.
Everyone's gotta start somewhere, just got my first a couple weeks ago (starting to learn at 43, sheesh, lol).

Guitar: Gibson Songbird, Gibson 69' SG junior with a single P90, Gibson 57' VOS Les Paul, Martin DX1E
Amp: 65Amps Empire Head (Yes the same as Mike's!) into a custom 2x12 Bruno cab
-Tones are incredible, but of course I still want a McReady LP, a good strat / tele and fender amp
Bass: Fender J-Bass American Early Nineties, and a 2015 Gibson SG Bass
Amp: Orange Terror 500 into an Ampeg SVT410HLF and Orange 2x12 Cabs
-Again I love my setup, but still want a vintage Ricky
FX: Too may to name, but my favorite are Spaceman. If you have not used them, just try and you will be hooked.
Drums:
Tama Starclassic Maple, Pearl Birch Kit from the early nineties, and Roland digital TD8 kit with mesh pads and more cymbals than I know what to do with
-When I actually play I keep my kits pretty simple, just love interchanging stuff
PA: for Vox, Acoustics, whatever I want to mic up and of course my digital drums.
-Makes it really fun to play along with any / all bands (especially PJ)
Didn't even come close to sticking.
Couple years later my brother taught me to make an E chord and then lift a finger to make it an E minor.
I was hooked. Scales and theories and notes are not the place to start, they are the place to go when you want to get beyond campfire quality, but campfire quality is all that many people are looking to achieve anyways. Myself included.
I just wish you could learn to sing through practice the same way you can learn an instrument.

It's amazing how much you can play with just using power chords...
