Hello all Jon sacco here

Well hello,

My name is JonSacco, I am new to the marshall family in picking up a JCM 2000 yesterday off of a friend who has dedicated his life to being a amp/guitar tech. I grew up with the Drive Thru records scene in my area of NJ. As some of you may know of The Early November, I am from the same town from where the band was formed and been friends with them guys from what it seems to be forever, and spent almost my whole teenage years carrying half stack for my friends playing shows. Now that we are getting older Ive decided to finally get my act together and play.

Through the years I had many hardships, I lost my father in a hunting accident when I was 5 years old and was raised by my brothers so my mother could work to provide me with the things i needed and wanted as a child. She kept a roof over my head and is the greatest women in the world in my eyes. She bought me my first guitar a cheap Ibanez and little 15 watt create. In 2003 I had a head on car crash at the age of 18 that they thought I may never walk again or may have more damage, but I proved them all wrong and pushed through and got better as fast as I could. Then onto my latest near death experience I was at a show in Atlantic City and was at a Man Overboard show and got punched by a kid attempting to start a mosh pit, I dont understand why they feel the need to kick and throw punches during a pop punk band, but when I confronted him about almost hitting a friend of mine he felt the need to sucker punch me as I turned away and I hit my head on the ground causing bleeding on the brain and needed half my skull removed, doing so it allowed my brain to swell and it healed, again very quickly and had my skull put back in this past april. I am lucky that I can still walk and talk, I only had a 40% chance to make it with the surgery. Without I would have never woke up. So like I said I havnt lived the easiest of lives in this world.

Ive been playing the guitar since I was about 14 years old now being 27. I am a solid rhythm artist. I write very simple songs and love to write catchy songs that you randomly think of out of nowhere. I love to sing along with playing hate singing alone. Here is a list of my past equipment over the years of trading and selling.

Create excalber half stack 90's (traded)
Ampeg 50 watt all tube head (traded)
Marshall 900 lead cab (sold)
Mesa single rec 50 watt (sold w/900 lead cab, will be getting it back soon)
Line 6 spider 3 150 watt head (for sale)
Line 6 spider 3 400 watt cab (for sale alone with the head $450 for both)
Marshall Jcm 2000 DSL 100 watt head. (keeping forever)

Standard cheap Ibanez (smashed on stage after input jack crapped out on me during a show at my highschool battle of the bands)
B.C. Rich warlock cheap model (sold)
Unknown Jackson guitar bolt on neck (sold)
Gibson Les Paul 2 (sold and miss it)
Tom Delong fender strat (sold)
Jackson Rhoads V cheap model (sold due to floyd rose)
Gibson SG voodoo (sold)
Schter c1+ (sold)
Fender Jaguar Mexican (plays awesome and sounds good keeping for now)
