What is your oldest guitar?

[maguchi]

A 1989 Washburn WT-90 or a Washburn DC-60 Lexington that's either a '88 or a '89, both bought new in '89. Back then a local medium size mom and pop music store name of Guitar-Guitar in Sherman Oaks, CA carried a complete line of Washburns. Sadly that store closed down several years ago like a lot a other music stores have because of internet competition. But anyways I digress. Washburn made great guitars in the '80s and '90s and I still have these from 35 years ago.

My oldest is a 2003 Burny RLG 90 that came out of the Tokai factory. Absolutely killer guitar, especially with the Manlius Fat Diane pickups it came with.

My 2004 Burny RG85VLD is also killer. I think this one has custom shop burstbuckers in it.

Based on year of manufacturing: my 2 70s Ibanez lawsuit models.

The longest guitar I've owned; this MIJ heavily modded RG470 I've had since 1999.

I'll post up my second oldest just because it's a pretty rare/unusual guitar

1991-1992 LACS Starfield Cabriolet

Best high gainer out there in my book

I've got the D120. Couldn't be happier with it.

I also like that cab. I gigged my Sig:X with a FatBottom 2x12 for a couple of years. It was a truly versatile amp that covered all the bases.

I still have my Fatbottom 2x12 but I really don't like it that much tbh; not a fan of the P50E's

Not only do I not like the sound but I've had one of them blow for no apparent reason

1971 Gibson Flying V.
The original owner took the Medallion that was on the top fin.

"I had one of those! Got it in a . . . deal . . . where someone needed some . . . spices! Wasn't my thing, but what I traded for it was about $100 cost to me and I could recognize it was worth a lot more. Ended up selling it for $200 when I was hard up for cash in the 90's!! Neck through body US made Dean and I couldn't get more than $200, shame! Doubled my money on it, but still, should have been able to fetch a lot more IMO!! Great lookin' guitar!!! I think mine might have been a "Baby Z" if there is such a thing."

There's one for sale on eBay right now for $5,500.

Mine is coming along Testing it but more to do.

 

[Yeah]

Hey everyone just came across this forum for the first time the other day and joined!
My oldest guitar is my first guitar. Kramer Focus 1000. I believe I got it in 1987. I still have the receipt somewhere too! I got it at Robbie’s music barn in Mahwah NJ and I think it was around $435 new.
