It was an acoustic found in my stepfather's mom's attic with two rusted strings and tuners that didn't work. I was told learn to play that and I might get another.
After months of making racket with that POS I gave up. Six years later a real killer guitar player friend of the family, that made the all to cliche transition from metal to bluegrass, lent me his first guitar a Yamaha Pacifica 821 with a Floydrose trem and locking nuts (and strings.)
Now I currently own a nearly mint Ibanez AF120 hollow body (all original) I'm working my buns off trying to learn music theory and the blues. Oh, and a Fender DG10-CE NS so if anyone wants to purchase my two string "attic special" I'm looking for 10 cents O.B.O.
--Hunter kudos on the Martin. Still have it in tow?
