I'm with our Belgian friend here. Keyboards (in rock music) make me wince, and you just know that in 5 years time (at best) they will sound
horribly dated, no matter how 'cool' they sound at the time.
Only exception is a good hammond organ or an acoustic piano.

How can you say that? The Mini Moog? The Roland TB303 and SH101? The Korg MS20? All between 20 and 40 years old and still sound as good as the day
they were first built.

The mini moog? Hmm smells like Rick Wakeman to me!!
And that bloke out of Deep Purple, oh aye Jon Lord.
As for the Rolands, I did specify rock music, but IMHO even for dance sounds they do sound very 80s.
The Korg MS20 I confess I know nothing about.
Compared to a guitar though - a Les Paul NEVER sounds dated!!

I'd rather play with her organ than Les Pauls guitar. Sorry, I'll get me coat. 
P.S. My electric guitar's a Yamaha Pacifica.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

You know, I have a Keyboard for Midi input, a fretless Jazz for bass and my Brian Moore i91 for electric and acoustic guitars. Everything else is done
in the PC.
I just don't see the need for this much kit for recording any more.
It's different live right enough

Got to agree with you there. I sold my synths several years back. All I have now is a MIDI keyboard, a decent external audio interface and my laptop,
along with Ableton Live 4 and a few VSTs.
Almost forgot I built a Fatman analog synth at Xmas, absolutely fantastic.

MIDI rules!
This lists my current (mostly retro) equipment and the pic shows my first MIDI hutch:

The key advantage to electronic gear is that you can play all night (through headphones) without complaints from neighbors.
Anybody here mastered the bodhran?

Just give me my Strat, a lead and an amp, preferably without too many knobs on!
