I have been playing guitar for 50 years but have always had mediocre or downright poor instruments. When I retired, in 2013, my wife bought me a quality instrument as a joint birthday and retirement present. This guitar has been my "Inspiration" to play more, to practise harder and to start jamming again. I thought it would make a good subject for this competition.

Ask yourself, "What's most important for the final image?".
