Guitar Nostalgia

I guess this is the nostalgia part of my blog. It is too cold and windy to fly the freshly completed FMS Easy Trainer from MOTIONRC, in the PNP version, so I'm going to post pics of a few of the guitars I have owned and played over the years. I bought my first guitar in Lubbock, from a pawnshop, when I was a freshman at what was then Texas Technological College. That purchase really started something! I don't have any photos of that guitar, but I do have photos of the guitar I bought after that, a Bruno Conqueror, from a music store in my hometown, while I was back there during the summer. The first pic is one I found on the web of that guitar:


Nice looking guitar! Pretty high quality. It had a bolt-on neck but played well and sounded good. I played it through a little Alamo amplifier.

The following are pics of me with that guitar, taken that summer:






There seems to have been a bit of a Buddy Holly influence going on. I took that guitar back to Lubbock with me the following semester but used it as a trade-in on a Candy Apple Red Fender Jaguar-- this pic is one I found on the web, since I have no pics of that Jaguar:




This guitar does look just like mine. Later I acquired a nylon string classical guitar, a Regal. I have a photo of me with that guitar:




I'll have more pics, documenting most of my other guitars, in a few days...
