Unfortunately, not too many people ever kept the first guitar they ever got, especially if it was in your kid/teen years. But then again, sometimes they do, just like this one

Yes, my parents gave me this 1959 Sears Silvertone when I was 8 (1973) and we still have it. It's on display in Mom's studio.

When I was gigging with it, I was running a single Duncan Quarter Pounder that Steve Morris at The Music Source in Visalia, CA., overwound for me. It was over 15k and sounded massive. Rather than shield the chambered, beaverboard guitar, I built a copper "cup" that the Quarter Pounder sat in.

Nothing about this guitar that I miss. I restored it in 2011 and gave it back to Mom on Mother's Day.

Very cool! I guess I'm too damn nostalgic about stuff and RARELY ditch gear ( have sold a few amps that I actually later regretted lol). I didnt touch that guitar hardly after getting my next one for at least 20 years, but got bored one day and decided to tweak it. Ended up liking it once more, go figure lol
