Interesting perspective "Brand name loyalty" personified !

I appreciate all guitars as musical instruments. But the ones I want to play connect me, somehow, to the albums I listened to, and the musicians I went to see, when I was a teenager and young adult.
In those days I always noticed the guitars I saw being played, even though it did not occur to me that I myself would or could ever play. Now that I play a little (you could say "butcher" and not be far off) I am drawn to guitars that elicit these connections for me.
Now, I confess that I can see myself getting an electric guitar other than a Fender or Gibson: Gretsch and Rickenbacker make those connections too.
