Got my first real six-string…

“My dad was a musician and he had two really beautiful guitars around the house. One was a 1953 Martin D-28 and the other was a custom-made guitar by these brothers in Tennessee. As we started to get more interested, my dad was like, ‘Enough of this! Leave my shit alone!’ He bought me a Lotus Strat copy in black and white.”

This old guitar

“I think it was Neil Young who said, ‘Every guitar has a song in it’ and I feel that. I’ve had times where I would get a guitar and I would be able to write some great stuff on it and some guitars would just sit there and I couldn’t connect with it. [In recent years] I got these really cool Martins that were designed by this guy George Gruhn. He had gotten these two Martin guitars made that were based on two 40s models that he had. They’re great guitars and I was able to write songs on those.”
