I initially started with the idea with only one Les Paul and one Strat... turns out that I can't really keep that promise to myself and now I'm up to 9 guitars in my collection which includes historic Les Pauls. I guess I might look to going for that single "one" in the future but not right now.
I was given a very old guitar at the age of 6 that barely played or had any strings on it, but it surely inspired my to start playing actively in school and I'm still going strong! Definitely never too early.
Thanks for all the info! Happy to see that there is so much history to these reissues. Never had one but I might give them a try if I find a good guitar for sale.
Happy NGD! That's a very good looking top and color! I've never doubted new historics purchses plus there is always a good market to move it if you decide it's no longer "the one" at some point.
I'm currently using these straps: https://straps.constant-bourgeois.com/en/
I believe they're a French company. Very comfortable and very high quality leather.
Like the others already said - who looked at your guitar? Have you had it inspected by a luthier? I would say that this is the first thing you can do for now.
