1. Ovation Acoustic Guitar from JBMusic Harrison - bought December 1993 - hiniram ng friend hindi na binalik; will forever be my first love kasi dito ako naunang matuto magitara (katabi ko to matulog same with number 2 below)
2. Lumanog (Langka Wood) Acoustic Guitar from Raon (back when Lumanog Guitars had quality) - July 1995 - was my workhorse acoustic guitar up to 2005 (repaired back split kasi nailagay sa trunk, repainted the back again, retired from gigging because naglift na yung saddle nya enough to slide a piece of paper due to tension and changes in humidity/environment, naibigay na sa pamangkin ko as her guitar) still 20 years old and playable pa rin, I think this is a feat!
3. Fernando Electric Guitar (Ibanez S copy) from JBMusic North Edsa - December 2007 - sold to a PM forumer after I upgraded to:
4. Ibanez AJD91C (Cocobolo Wood) from Audiophile MOA - August 2009 - My first and only semihollow guitar. Sold and shipped to an Australian musician non-forumer who loved Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead. Sold it because the sound was not what I was looking for and man, the pundits are not joking, Cocobolo wood was so heavy!
5. Ibanez Artwood AW40ECE-RDV from Audiophile Ali Mall - July 2009 - Best acoustic guitar I owned so far; great sound and great looks and specs (tree of life inlay, solid top, Fishman electronics with XLR out), had to let go because of cash issues and space and sold to a PM forumer
6. Ibanez SA260FM AMB from Audiophile San Juan- September 2009 - Sold to a PM forumer
7. Fender American Standard Stratocaster SS from Yupangco Main - July 2010 - Still with me; SRVish!
8. Charvel SoCal USA BLK from Yupangco Main - June 2011 - Still with me; my gig guitar for strat and classic rock sounds
9. Fender Standard Stratocaster MIM AW from Yupangco Main - May 2012 - Sold to a PM forumer because of cash issues and space
10. Ibanez RG3XXV LB 25th Anniversary from Audiophile Main - October 2012 - Still with me but currently up for sale for now
; if I had to bring only one guitar to a gig, I bring this because of its great sound, reliability and versatility.
11. Ibanez RG550 RFR Genesis Collection from Audiophile MOA - March 2014 - Still with me; yet to bring to a gig
In between I had some other music purchases. The buying spree all started when I joined PM in 2009. Alam na.
Pamana ko sa son ko and I hope he will be a better guitar player than I am.
