The guitars I had in the 60's/70's started with a Sears Silvertone ($24.00 on Dec. 1, 1969). I got a harmony a couple years later, then a Madiera (Japanese knockoff of a guild). In London as an exchange student I bought an Eko Ranger 6 for the five months I was there (paid 40 pounds and resold it when I flew back for 10). I later traded the Madiera and a banjo for an Alverez tree of life guitar. Then the 80's hit and I bought a Fylde Orsino and GAS took over.
