My first guitar

by Todd Farmer on March 22, 2010

This is a much higher quality guitar than the one I own!

I bought my first guitar over 10 years ago.

It was relatively inexpensive (about $100) and worked just fine.

Within a year or two, my son – a toddler at the time – decided that he’d accidentally drop something heavy on the neck of the guitar.  ( I don’t remember what it was.  I just know it was smashed! )

So, with the neck of the guitar smashed, I went out to buy a replacement.

What guitar to buy next?

When I went into my local Guitar Center store, I saw the same huge inventory of expensive guitars, and mid-priced guitars.

…and I saw my first guitar, with that low $100 price tag.

There was nothing wrong with that “starter guitar” – until the neck got smashed, of course.  So, I decided I would buy the exact same guitar.  (Why spend the extra money?  I’m not playing in a band, or recording awesome live music, right?  I just need a guitar that sounds good.)

So, I re-bought my first guitar.

I’ve had it ever since, and I’m still very happy with it.
