My first "real" guitar, 1985 MIJ strat, though the only thing that remains original on it is the body, neck, and tuning keys. Got it new when I was 16, and will have until I join the big band in the sky.

Wow, 2 years ago I started a YT channel to put out guitar song tutorials of many of my classic rock favorites. Basically making a library of videos for what my 15 year old self would have wanted when I was discovering guitar. One video a week, 2 years on, and I'm grateful that there are others who appear to like what I'm putting out. Just passed 50k subs tonight! Humbled! https://youtube.com/
