“To all the (guitars) I've loved before...”

I thought today I'd make a list of all the guitars I've owned since I was 12. Mainly just to see if I can remember them all. I have had a long history of buying, selling, buying, selling. I love buying them, but can't seem to justify having a huge collection of instruments I don't play. Regretful? Of course! If I had the money, I'd try to buy back several. So here it goes, by the year:
