Ist Post on Guitar Noise - Introduction

I'm new to the forum. Been playing 45 years; learned everything the wrong way; I am studying everything from the beginning and working my way up. I practice a minimum of 4 hours a day (playing) and another 2 hours on theory, etc. I'm actually a middle intermediate. I am giving myself 1 year (from July) to see how much I can accomplish. So far, so good. I read music; I know theory fairly well. I play blues, rock, jazz - pretty much anything that sounds good on the guitar. I have fair equipment - I'm still building it up -

Washburn acoustic
Epiphone PR-5E acoustic
no-name Chinese acoustic
Epiphone G-400
Epiphone Sheraton II
Fender 900 Deluxe amp
Crate 4X12 cab
Line 6 Spider 2 150 watt head

I am working on setting up a nice rack unit. I'm looking at a Crown 6000, Eleven Rack, etc. My wish list is long and expensive.
