Still have my Yamaha FG-180, which my parents gave me as a Christmas gift in 1975. Cost $125 at the time. I had a new nut put on it years ago to accommodate strings for "Nashville" tuning, and I use it on almost every home recording I make because it adds that great high shimmer to a regular six-string track. Its tone (if strung with regular strings) would not compare to the high-end Martin and Taylor I have, but I have to say that its neck is incredibly familiar and comfortable because it's all I played for years. Great sentimental value, of course.

It was some no name Les Paul knock off I found in a pawn shop. Between the string height and the telephone pole sized neck I easily decided to trade it in on the Larrivee Stat copy I still have. I can't recall if I bought my first acoustic before or after the trade.

The other five guitars I own/owned are either still with me, or I know where they are.

I voted "Don't have it but kept if for a long time."

But in actuality, after 35 years I gave my Ovation 10th Anniversary Legend to my Daughter soooo... I get "visiting" rights.
