My Lifelines
Jumbo
First ever Guitar of mine
Meet Jumbo, my first ever guitar. She's a G,B&A Acoustic Jumbo and I do not have much info on her. It's retirement for her. She does not play live but is still a beast for just picking and having fun. Got her around June first week of 2010.
(You get a slight glimpse of some of my other beasts in the pic)
Maple
First Electric
Meet Maple, She's a Squier By Fender California Serires Strat. Maple neck and fret board with an Alder body. The one that started the obsession with the strings.
First Love.
Strings used are
D'Addario Lower Bottoms (EXL140)(10-52). Got her sometime around November of 2010. She still plays and sings like a beast and is always inspiring and fun to play.
Dragon
The first 7 Stringer
Meet Dragon. My first ever 7 stringer. Got her on 15th of November 2018. She's the Schecter Omen Extreme 7. A beast with extreme low ends and a pretty hefty guitar with some signature mad tones. Strings used are Ernie ball 10-52(10 gauge 7 string Regular Slinky usually).
She has a mahogany body with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard. 3 way selector with 2 volumes for the bridge and neck and one tone knob with a push pull split.
An ultra versatile beast.

Mahogany body with roasted maple neck and fretboard. Got her on 10th of August 2024. She's been my go to since then, complementing is Dragon. Strings used are D'Addario (10-59 EXL 110-7) standard 7 string set.
Obsidian
Pick and play but don't forget to tune XP
My latest acquisition. This one's a little special as it belonged to my guitar instructor 'Vats Iyengar'(the frontman of the mighty 'Rainburn').
She's Mad inspiring and a very effortless guitar to play.
All of my guitars have a little fight in them just to keep me control, but this goes the opposite. She the only one that's just pick up and go. Zero fight, zero blocks. She's a RG350EX with the neck and bridge pickups swapped to DiMarzio Air Norton's and Breeds respectively. The middle single coil is the default. After all, barely use the middle pickup on the super Strat XP.
Strings used are
D'Addario (EXL 120 9-42).
She was manufactured around 2008 and I aquired her on the 27th of January 2026 out of the blue (It was meant to be).
Oh, she also comes with the edge 3 tremolo and my first ever guitar with a floating trem for the dives and flutters.
Mini and Bass
Ukulele and Bass
Aside from my above guitars, I have a kala waterman purple ukulele (mini) and a Vault Jazz Bass. Had gotten the ukulele for a few small travels (turns out she's waterproof) and the bass belonged to Abhilash Talapatra, Amrit Talapatra's brother both brilliant musicians and for some reason it just stays with me now.
