Thread Name: Best guitar you've owned yet...
Subject: RE: Best guitar you've owned yet...
45 years ago I bought/traded for a 1962 D-21. Nicer than any D-18, D-28... that I've ever played.
Last March I turned 80 and my arthritis is settling into my thumbs, so I've found myself playing my little 1950 LG1 a lot more. I still keep the D-21 on a stand right here beside my computer, so I can play along with YouTube or join a Zoom open mic, but when I leave the house it's usually with the LG1.
My first ever guitar was a 1958 Goya M-26. It's a dreadnought, but Levin called them "Goliaths". I bought it in 1960 for $75, but It's still a favourite. It's not my best guitar, but it's great and has major sentimental value.
