What was the first serious guitar you bought with your own money?
“It was a red 1968 Fender Mustang with the racing stripes across it. I had to mow yards in my neighbourhood where I lived and my dad said if I got enough money, he would match it. I had a pretty cool dad. So I got that Fender Mustang with the whammy bar and I pretended it was a Stratocaster. Before that I had two acoustic Silvertones that I bought at garage sales.”
What was the last guitar you bought, and why?
“I bought a guitar yesterday! It was in Northampton, Massachusetts, at a local guitar store. It’s an Alvarez acoustic from the 70s and it reminded me of my brother’s guitar that I used to play while he was throwing papers to by ZZ Top or whatever because I didn’t know chords. I mean, I’ve got a lot of guitars, but this one was the exact guitar my brother had, so I bought it yesterday.”
