I'd love to learn how to play acoustic, I dunno how feasible it would be at this age, but it something i would like to do.
i started when i was like 19? i had no idea what side of the shiny metal things to even put my finger on, no lessons at all, and 11 years later i can play while jumping up and down

Me to! There were one or 2 things like that that I was going to only find out when it was finished, like how much sustain it would have - I was verging on paranoid about that one, but I had nothing to worry about -it's even better than the Epiphone!

wow, a marshal stack.
i almost bought one actually, my friend has one and i love it so much
i am also a fan of ibanez guitars, love their necks. My gibson's neck is very similar to my old ibanez, very shallow.
marshall and mesa boogie halfstack
sustain comes from the wood type and thickness basically, les pauls for that very reason are very excellent for sustain and fullness, but I hate how the round fat necks feel and they are SOO heavy, no way am I playing a hour set with a 9 lb guitar, **** that.

Small Marshall Valvestate sounds great at low volume, good for the small church's we play at.
Big Triple Rect'o'fire (Mesa Boogie Stack) used like 5 times at outdoor events (Montgomery Day, Orange County Fireworks spectacular etc.)
New Orange amp that seems to be an awesome merger of the two, got it's own sound and great at all volumes.
All three can do great all around if you work with it however...
Bottom left: Les Paul Ace Freely Edition. Easy to play, good with any amp.
Bottom right: Gibson ES135, cool clean channel, I personally love the color and how big it is.
Bottom mid: Martin D35 Acoustic; took over a year and many, many acoustic guitar "tryouts" to find the one worth spending money on.
3 on the wall: Donor guitars, really gay ones I play on and fool around with.
^^^All of the above are my brother's stuff. I barely play, I'll get there. I have an Ibanez that's not too bad for $300 :P
