I have a lot of guitars, man. None of them are outrageously priced when compared to other guitars, but compared to a block of wood with strings on it, well…..
Did I ever tell you the story of my broom guitar, though? We might be friends because of it, actually. I went to NYC on my first street music tour with my fancy acoustic guitar, and...nobody noticed me. There's a million acoustic guitarists in the world, and put next to the statue of liberty on stilts in Times Square, well, BORING! I went back next year with a cigar box guitar that I had built, and people started to talk to me in the subway, on the street...everywhere. THEN I made a broomstick into a guitar. Props to my brothers for making sure it was pure broom, and not a weird guitar hybrid. I put a guitar string on a broomstick, along with a a tin can, and an electric guitar pickup, and plugged that bad boy in. Girls even talked to me, man. I'm such a fan of innovation! And I think it cost me a whopping nine dollars.
