conrad
BTW...per your photo...I do believe that Conrad is the EXACT model I had back in the day. Brings back heart-jerking memories. Never thought I'd see one again.
My dad had a guitar when he died (at age 35) in 1958. I was 5. Grew up wanting one, but a cousin ended up with it. Rumor had it that he destroyed it. Not sure if that's true. I bought the Conrad on the cheap at the pawn shop in 1972. I think I paid $50. May not have sounded good to someone who knew guitars, but it sounded great to my 19 year old poverty-stricken ears. I played that thing to death until the bridge came up. Didn't know back then that it could have been fixed. Didn't have the $$ to have that done anyway. Bought my first new guitar a year later...Yammie 12. Wore it out. Bridge problem again. The one I got for Christmas last year? Another Yammie 12 (FG-820-12.)
