1994 MIM Fender Strat. After sticking with my grandmothers beat up acoustic guitar for the summer, my father took me to Don's Green River Music in Auburn, WA and let me pick this guitar out for my 14th birthday. At this point the only thing that is stock is the neck and body. Stickers kind of just naturally happened as I would play shows in hardcore punk bands and be given stickers.

Sorry that I'm a little late to this party, but I did have to think about it, '88-'89 Ovation Thunderbolt. I really do love this guitar, say what you will. It got a lot of stage time back in the day and held up VERY well, as you can tell. Don't play much acoustic, on stage, anymore, but this is the first guitar I played for my wife. Lots of memories in this baby. Yes, I'm a rocker of the 80's.

Really enjoying seeing these guitars! It's very cool that some of you guys have had them for so long - some longer even than I've been alive!

Say hello to the Pirate! Here's an older Peavey Patriot that I've had since the late 80's. For some reason I love this guitar! It has always been the one guitar that I play when practicing at home or noodling around. I just recently installed a JB in the bridge, updated all the wiring and shielding, installed a new cable jack and CTS 500K pot and gave her a good cleaning. Believe it or not the neck on this guitar is one of the best I've played, at least in my hands. It's always straight and feels great. Overall, for a beater this guitar sounds so good that I have actually used it live a few times. The sounds resonates very well and the sustain is great. Not sure if it's the really light weight body or soemthing else but there is something special about this guitar, at least to me.

1973 gibson sg standard. bought it brand new after high school graduation. satin finish.. bigsby.. ebony fretboard.. bone nut. it was also the first year that paf's patent ran out so gibson came out with a new humbucker called the super and it was only available on 1973's with bigsby's.. or so i was told. that's what's in mine. just re-set the action and intonation on it last week. still plays and sounds great.
i've also got a '78 ibenez cn 100 with super 80's. it's also very nice. i traded in something for it.. don't remember what.. but i've had it for around 35 years.

The guitar that I've had the longest is my 2001 Gibson Les Paul Classic. I purchased it in 2002. It has been my main go to guitar ever since. I've lost count how many times I've changed the pickups in it, but it's always delivered the sound and feel that I wanted to hear. It's the only guitar in my stable that is in absolutely no danger of going anywhere. I'd say that I will be buried with it, but in truth, when that time comes it will be passed to my daughter- who I hope will enjoy it as much as I have.
