Here's mine: it was 1976, I was fresh out of the Navy, got a job and decided to go guitar shopping. I was planning on coming home with a Martin. The store had Martins, Gibsons, Guilds. I played all three. To me the Guild was clearly superior in both appearance and sound. The mahogany on the back is beautiful.
The Gibson was nice too, but I came home with the Guild. It has since been to a thousand weddings, campouts, jam sessions, nursing homes, churches...
With a brand new set of strings it sound like angels singing from on high. And it has bug punchy lows.
Louise, she's aging well. Age 46. Sometimes I remind Ma Dread that I've owned this guitar longer than I've been married to her. (But not often.)
It knows intuitively where all the John Prine chords are.
