No, Sgt. Pepper didn't teach the band to play. Better than that.

It was 27 years ago today - on Valentine's Day of the year 1990 - that my girlfriend at the time gave me a made in America, gorgeous, black Fender Stratocaster.

I didn't even play guitar. She just bought it for me because she knew I loved music. Wow. A Fender Stratocaster as a gift. I sure was not going to have her waste her money so I made darn sure I would learn how to play the thing. 27 years later -- and I now have a total of 17 guitars -- that Stratocaster is still my best and favorite guitar. It really is. My first guitar - a Strat - is my best guitar.

Like a fine single-malt, it seems to be aging quite well.

Rawk on!

Sounds like you kept the guitar and lost the girlfriend??? Seems like a standing golf clap is in order...

She's a keeper. And the guitar is nice, too.
