I got my first guitar when I was 16, now, I'm over 30 and still wearing jeans...A used Gene Autry low end box. Over the years I have had, a Kalamazoo, a couple of no names,a Yamaha 12 string, a Gibson J-45, a Mossman, a Guild D-25, a Guild d-50, a Martin D-28, and, finally, a TAYLOR 810!! I also have a custom made 12 string by Apollonio. I play with a flat pick for the most part, but, some basic finger stuff, and, I play the 12 with fingers.Although I do folk, there is a country influence from my mis spent youth. I regret to say that after 50 years I'm still no threat to Doc Watson.
