What guitar that you still own has been in your possession the longest?

[Otisblove]

Here is mine. 1991 G&L ASAT bought new in scenic Plainfield, Indiana. Not my first guitar, but my first true love. You don't HAVE to post pics of yours, but it'd be cooler if you did.

Easy enough. I bought this while I was in high school and have had it for well over forty years.

First PRS I've had for over twenty years.

Old Blue...'96

My first electric six-string - Magnatone "tornado" X-15. Bought it from a friend in high school a long time ago...

Electra-Westone bass kit. Again, from a long time ago. I went through probably 6-8 different other basses before I bought this one... Really wish I had kept a few of those others now...or at least still had pics of them...

Great thread btw...

My Hollowbody II. Ordered it in 2002.




I had a mid 90's Strat and original Ibanez Talman I held onto for 20+ years, but finally let them go since they didn't see much play time anymore.

Yellow card. No pics.

The guitar I still have is the one I learned to play on. The Belden acoustic my dad bought new in 1941.

What's a YELLOW card

 

[Otisblove]

Foul. Penalty.

I still have my very first guitar ever...purchased in 1978...a surprisingly capable "Premier" strat copy. She's been modded innumerable times over the years, currently in David Gilmour mode...(included some PRSi eye candy in the background to stay out of trouble...)

Guitars number 2, 3 and 4 are lost to the sands of time...but #5, my first and longest tenured PRS (PS # 222) is still with me (and played at least weekly). Sorry if you've seen it before...

Black onyx & tortoise shell?

Black onyx & tortoise shell?

Tiger eye finish.
Inlays are black onyx w 14K gold outlines.
Braz board and HS overlay.

To this day one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen/played.

Bought new in 1965. I had it modded to add the tune-o-matic in 1970.
