Got him for Christmas new in 1978 when I started playing. Still love it! Goya L6-S copy. My parents picked well. Same as my Gibby L6 but lighter. 24 fret narrow thin neck for a kid with small hands. Excellent guitar to learn on. It has it's age marks.

1983.

Around 1997.

That Goya is a nice guitar, and imagine at that age still going strong! Lots of sentimental thoughts running through your mind when you look or pick up that guitar Eh?

Yes there are. Some great gig memories.

Man, my first guitar was awful - and it still is. Congratulations on getting a good one!!!

Nice that you got those old photos!!!!

I'll play along.

I started with a 1959 Sears Silvertone in 1977. I fitted it with a Duncan Quarter Pounder and Chinese characters copied from the menu at a local restaurant...LOL



I evetually got this Mako Traditional TB-1, which was a kind of Stratocaster, but a big step up from the Silvertone. I think it came from The Music Source in Visalia, California.



More recent gigs...these are from 2021:

Those were from video. But I had a friend with a good camera get some excellent shots of the big outdoor show in 1983. They are in the garage still in a box.
