Does a Martin guitar from the 1940s count?
- dhosek 6y agoI was thinking that the oldest stuff I have that I use (aside from furniture I inherited from my grandfather which I have no idea how old it is) are musical instruments. I have a ca 1969 Gibson EB-3 bass which is my oldest instrument. Of the stuff I've bought new it'd be my first guitar, a cheap classical guitar I bought for around $100 in 1986. The oldest electronic item is probably the Roland D-110 module I bought used and likely was made in 1990–91 and the oldest electronic item I bought new would be my Roland A90EX keyboard which I bought in 1999. I don't think I have anything musical less than 19 years old.
- julianz 6y agoI think so! I've got an "Aloha" branded mahogany parlour guitar that dates from somewhere around then, it's tricky to narrow down any further than that though. Still sounds fantastic.
