In Switzerland while I visited my brother I saw the very first guitar I owned. I got this Ibanez when I was 15 years old. 23 years ago. I bought this particular one because I looked up to a leader who had also a black guitar. I wanted to play like him. Therefore I had to have a black guitar.
This Ibanez was in many "Jungscharlager" (boy scouts camps). I led my first worship time on it and in 92 it went as far as Cambodia on my first mission trip. I also played my very first Beatles song on it. I remember playing "Yesterday" without even speaking a word of English at the time.
I got all nostalgic when I picked it up again. Those good (or sometimes not so good) old times.
