Location: Boise, Idaho | My first new acoustic was the 1976 Matrix, bought in 1977 and still have.
I've never had a new electric guitar.
Second new acoustic was the OFC, bought 30 years later and then the LAV Koa.
All the rest have been used. |

After playing it last year, I can see why you would want to hold on to it.
But if you should ever sell.... :D . I am really dreaming, aren't I?

In 1976 I bought an almost new Gibson LP Custom from a guy who had just bought it a week before, wanted an acoustic instead but didn't want to get ripped off by the music store selling it back to them. Mint for $650 bucks. Lucky me. I still have it and I can guarantee it forgot what mint meant a long time ago.
What's important about "New" guitar purchases? Just curious. Nothing really other than it a big momment for many. |
