3/4 size Airline guitar (Montgomery Wards brand) I got in 5th grade. Don't know what happened to it, but found an identical one for $10 at a garage sale a few years ago. Not really playable, but wanted to preserve the memory.

Yes. While I was away in the military my mother sold it in a garage sale for $5.00. It was a very inexpensive classical with the name Zim-Gar on the label, distributed by the Gar-Zim company. True story.

Isn't a "first love" guitar a bit different than your first guitar? My first few guitars were, frankly, not worth keeping but my "first love" guitar is one that I still have...my Larrivee J-09. I've had (and have) subsequent loves but that first one was always, and still is, special!

Not the first love, just the first, an old Hi-Lo strat. I kept it, but have not reached for it in ages. First love guitar was my Taylor 714ce, Helene gave it to me about twenty years ago, reach for it regularly.

I cut my acoustic teeth playing my Yamaha FG180 to Neil Young records. I played it to the point where I had trenches on the fret board that showed what my favorite chords were. I sold it to the brother of an old girlfriend. I'd like to have it around for sentimental reasons but I got more than my mileage out of that one!

A late 60's Lyle Hummingbird I picked up in a pawn shop in Junction City Kansas in 1974. In '77 I went through some really tough times. I wish I could remember what i did with it.
I've been watching Reverb and ebay. Sooner or later someone will be selling a case queen. I can wait.

First Love was a Stella in 6th grade. But I dumped her pretty quick.

My first guitar I did not love. It was a Stella my dad ordered from the Sears catalogue or maybe Wards. At the time it didnt matter which store I just wanted a guitar. I was a dog, not set up, I didnt know about such things and sounded terrible. I kept it a long time for sentimental reasons until my daughter either lost it or sold it.
But after I got back from college I got a Gibson which I did love. I dont know what model but as I remember it was a B25 natural, maybe an LG2. Anyway not one of their big guitars and it was fun. I used it a lot with a group that traveled. It was in a dog of a case but I think that may have kept it from being stolen. I wish I still had it but I dont remember the circumstances under which I sold it. I probably needed money for bills, that was the situation with so many of the guitars that I have owned. In fact I need to sell a couple of guitars now for that very reason, I live above my means. |
