Guitars I was glad to get rid of: 1968 Fender Jaguar, 1962 Gibson SG.

Guitars I sold, and miss once in a while: 1986 Fender '62 Reissue JapStrat, 1971 Gibson LP Studio

Guitars I still own, and hope to never part with: 1984 Yamaha SBG1000 (TWO of 'em! :D ), 1985 Washburn A-20CS, 1984 Odyssey Custom V, 1998 Yamaha RBX 350 bass.

There's a lot more out there than Fender & Gibson.

Your tone is in your fingers! Find a guitar that makes your fingers feel at home, that makes your ears want to smile, and nothing else matters.
