Didn't everyone start off with one-at-a-time Black Diamonds?? (Personally, I think they had a separate supply of Gs for girl customers; they kept breakin' and I kept going in and asking for them g-strings...)

My second guitar was my sister's hand-me-down Harmony Sovereign (circa 1962) and it's still my main baby! Spruce and mahogany. Sliced my fingers to ribbons, but at least no one else ever wanted to borrow it in a session ...
