A 1964 Gibson SG

When I was in college I didn't have much money. I also played guitar in a band. One day I was at the guitar store with some friends, down where they kept all the used equipment. I found an old SG, which I really liked because it was very lightweight.
I didn't really know anything about guitars, and nothing about SG's, other than that my friend Mike Mattingly owned one and liked it. The SG was only $45 so I bought it, and ate ramen for 3 or 4 weeks to pay for it. I played that guitar for years, until my wife bought me a Les Paul a few years ago. I let me boys play with the SG when they were little, only taking it away when they started jumping on it.

Imagine my surprise when I checked on eBay and found out that 1964 SGs were selling for well over $1000!
