What's the oldest guitar you own?

[KeeperOS]

hmmm, my 1994 Washburn MG-122.
Not very old really but in mint condition.

[Lewguitar]

My '36 Rickenbacher lap steel (I have three - one is a Ricky silver Hawaiian) are the oldest guitars I own.

[theboatcandream]

I have an Aria es335 copy from the late 60's. I think it was from 68 or 67, the particular model was only made for two years.

[StillLearnin']

Oldest is a 1938 National Lap Steel followed by a 61 Epiphone (The one all the way to the right in the pic)





I play both of these all the time.

[glassman]

Oldest guitar I use: late 80's MIM Strat...the only new guitar i ever bought.
Oldest guitar I own: ???? Univox, looks like a Les Paul Jr...neck joint is so weak that it won't stay in tune. Sorry, no pics of them here at work...not that they are that interesting anyway.

[JOLLY]

I've got a Kramer bass from 1986.

[ES350]

1940-42 Epiphone Century; sort of a early ES150 knockoff with a similar tone.

My oldest one is a 1999 Aria acoustic.
My oldest electric is a godin SdXt, which I will always keep since it is my first electric.

You guys really have some nice vintage guitars! One day, when some time has passed, I will be as cool with my main guitar that will have reached a nice age. I have to say I was quite impressed by a few of your guitars that I hadn't noticed you had before, like Luke D's gibson semi hollow with the chrome soaps.

[Kosh Naranek]

My first electric, a '79 Anniversary Strat. When I think of "vintage" I think 50's and 60's so I don't exactly consider this one vintage.

Bought new when I was a sophomore in hs, in '79. It's in real good shape. I've gotten a lot of other guitars over the years and haven't played this one much since high school.

I also have that Renaisance guitar (can't post a pic now cuz I can't access photobucket here) that I put up a thread here about in January. I got that used in 1980. I have no idea if it predates the Strat or not.

A 1992 Fenandez Valencia

Neat thread idea! Some really nice guitars posted so far. My oldest axe is one I bought last year for $100 and spent $150 upgrading it! 1999 Korean-made Squier Standard Telecaster. Very comparable in quality to my MIM Fender. The neck feels quite unfinished and is already showing long hours of use, most from its previous owner(s) me but I've contributed some.

Oh dude! You became 33% more Tele since we last spoke!! Well, I'll just have to buy a Strat to compensate hehe. Haven't seen you online in a while bro.

1968 Stratocaster...







Cheers..................................... wahwah

UGH!! FORGOT TO MENTION!! That Strat is forbidden in this thread...so pretty!!

I got my info from a website that doesn't seem to exist anymore. I'll let you know if I find it, but you might have more look playing around with google.

87 and 88 charvels:

[Vasshu the humanoid typhoon]

Would have been my 1966 Tele I used to have...traded it for some Brit amp some 20 years ago....
Today it is a strange 1985 contemporay Squier strat with one humbucker.
