  when I saw this guitar it really brought back memories..my first guitar was a patrician [blond] that my dad bought for me from his friend in a pawn shop..it was in rough condition when I got it..I was about 11 or 12 years old..it started my love affair with guitars..and I've been playing ever since..I'm 59 yrs old now...
