It had cracked in about four different places. I didn’t think anything of it until the morning I heard something that sounded like a gunshot in my room. When 2004 turned into 2005, I noticed I was getting dead fret sounds on one string. The more I played it, the more I liked it, until I decided it was coming home with me. I dropped it in a bit of an odd tuning I started favouring around the time of OH YOU THIS (D# A# C# G# A# D#) and the guitar took it like a champ. I found it at Riverside Music in late 2004. But the first really good acoustic guitar I got my hands on was a Washburn D82SW. It’s in my bedroom as I type this, leaning against my closet door. The first acoustic guitar I ever bought that wasn’t a hunk of junk was a Simon & Patrick 6CW Spruce. You know what isn’t a sad thing at all, though? Having the chance to reacquaint yourself with a guitar that’s led a troubled life. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again (and again, and again): blog neglect is a sad thing.
