Is that Ed's old Suhr with the 'go-faster-stripe' guitar strap hanging in the background?Kiwiaxe wrote:Ok here's mine
1991 Gibson Celebrity Classic (only 200 made). I bought it from what was then Musical Sounds in late 1991.
Lost the pick guard forever ago, and changed the pickups to BKP Rebel Yells (original pickups are somewhere in my storage still). I have done many many gigs with this lovely lady.
Anyone here who can beat nearly 27 years?

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Ah, let me see, the guitar you've had the leastist y'say? I win then. Just twelve hours.
Unusual finish on this one.

I should get my Dad to sign up on this forum, man he has some great stories to tell. Saw Rory & Jimi live handfuls of times and has played and/or recorded with Knopfler, The Ivy League, The Tremeloes, Manfred Mann and a number of others. He bought his Gibson ES355 the year that I was born... and I'm 41 this year.Kiwiaxe wrote:No shit?Slowy wrote:You're not even close.Kiwiaxe wrote: Anyone here who can beat nearly 27 years?
Ok, looks like you're gonna win.

Re: Show us the guitar you’ve had the longest
I had a Yamaha FG411 acoustic I bought new in 1991, but I just donated it to the local school this year.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...
