$15 Silvertone

This is a picture of my first guitar. It doesn’t hold its tune very well and it doesn’t sound that good. It is the stories that are told about this guitar that make it valuable, at least to me. Also each time I pick this guitar up I feel my fingers are connecting with the fingers of my fourteen year old self at the moment I strummed my first chord. It is this guitar that you hear on the recording of Malaguena on the audio essay.
