The best guitar ever was the first one my parents bought me back in 1971...It was a no-name nylon string we got in Venezuela where we were living at the time. I had been learning on my mother's old "student" steel string and this was just the best birthday present ever. Someone swiped it during a break at the first coffee house I played a few years later, and it was recovered with some pretty big damage. I've had others since but none ever sounded as good or meant as much, at least in my memory. Bitter-sweet memory of a great guitar!
Do you still have it? |

Nice when you achieve your goal and have the guitars that you really want.
Well done! |

Location: Nahant, MA | I came across it -- in pieces -- when we cleaned out my parent's house before they moved a few years back. It was a total wreck and made me sad to look at. Away it went to the dump, but not before I showed it to my husband and son.
When the police recovered it after the theft, it was still playable...and the Florham Park NJ police had a ritual at the time that all recovered instruments must be played for them before they will release them. So I serenaded the squadroom. One of those silly high school memories. |

Location: San Francisco, CA | I had the priviledge of playing three different Pre War Martin D-45's (one of which belongs to Stephen Stills). All were stellar instruments, but all were off-the-wall unaffordable for me. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I've not found "the" guitar yet. I know what it will be.. I'm just not there yet. I've come real close, but no one has actually made it yet.
A Neck-Thru 2 pickup (H - H) with both pickups split so I can go single coil. With a Fishman Tremolo bridge w/pickup and a blend like on the VXT. Custom Moser/Baron 5-position varitone switch.
So basically the wiring of my Moser Genesis on my Carvin 400T with the addition of the Fishman bridge and VXT Blend control. That would do it. |
