While cleaning a bunch of stuff out of the attic in preparation for our move, I found my first guitar. It was a Harmony classical guitar, almost unfrettable from the day I got it.
Headstock of my first guitar, a Harmony classical strung with nylon strings.
As you can see, I treated it with great reverence. In addition to the sticker “enhancements,” my dad recreated the bridge after the original cracked and pulled off of the guitar (probably too many weird Sonic Youth tunings?) He also added a knob to the heel for a guitar strap.
Angled view of the bridge, which my dad hand-made.
A knob for a guitar strap.
I wish I remembered why I put some of the tuning pegs on upside down?
Another shot of the tining pegs, emphasizing the upside-downness of half of them.
There she is, in all her beauty. Thank you for everything, and safe travels.
