When I was a kid in the 1950s, we still had electric tube radios, some were older from the 1940s. When they were on, the tubes heated up, some even lit up, but they were hidden from view unless you looked at the back of the radio. Enclosing their backs was this early form of thick cardboard, that resembled graham crackers, in color and texture. The heat from the tubes, made that cardboard become warm, and it generated a sweet smell, kind like toasted bread. This same old cardboard, was used in suitcases, too. Even our old suitcases gave off this sweet toasty smell. Their exteriors were covered in a fake leatherette. A faux leather looking material which predated vinyl.

My 1st Guitar was a used Yamaha 'Nippon Gakki" that I bought around 1980 for $20 - and put .008 gauge electric strings on it - which made the action so responsive everybody that played it tried to buy it from me - it was a great old guitar. Now I have a bad shoulder - so I play a Kala travel guitar (1/4 size) that allows me to play without extending my arm to fret - never had an electric - or a classical

My Epiphone Hummingbird has mahogany sides and a spruce top. I ALWAYS stick my nose in the hole and smell it when I take it out of the case. It is a common thing. I worked at Guitar Center, and whenever we’d get Martins in, we all would smell them.

Conan once performed as musical guest on his own (NBC) show because the scheduled guest couldn't make it and I've had trouble finding the clip. The only lyrics I can remember are "ever since the world began", it was a high tempo rockabilly song, and he was singing lead. I figured one of you might know the name of the song at least, thanks.
Creative across several mediums. That's such a blessing.

I totally relate to Conan saying he favours an old Yamaha. My husband and I both have Martin and Gibson accoustics and they sit in the cases, and we favour a 70s Takeharu Hummingbird knock-off and a 90s Simon and Patrick spruce solid top. You have to play what sounds and feels best to you.

Michael Åkerfeldt of Opeth I think uses Martin guitars and they sound amazing but I think I tried one once just for fun and it was too weird and mellowy for me. this also might not have happened at all. it's one of those strange memories that I can't tell if it's real or not.

My first guitar was a cherry-red Hyundai (yes) *fretless* bass. Go figure, right? I was big into Gary Numan, Japan and the likes. I figured I'd teach myself bass and start with a fretless so that I could get "that sound" with the chorus effect. I'm a keyboard/synth player by trade though and let me tell you about the smell of the wooden end cheeks of my Oberheim OB-X8.

Back in the early eBay days when you could do this (not sure it's allowed still), I bought a 1 penny guitar, super cheaply made, very colorful... and then you paid like $16 shipping or something so that's where the rules have changed I believe. But anywya, $16 guitar and I loved it. I wrote and recorded the weirdest stuff on it, it had a sound that was so bizarre and twangy but sounded really interesting at the same time. Absolutely no regrets. I think it eventually fell apart haha

I never really warmed up to the guitar as a kid. My first "piano" was a cheap, wind-driven "chord organ" I would practice my piano lessons on and would never be ready for my lessons. To this day, I'm nostalgic about the Wurlitzer electric piano my folks graduated me to a few years later.

I also got glasses in second grade and never wore them because I knew of the nerd label that would befall me. When my mom let me get contacts in 12th grade I realized that people had features and weren't just a blur. Somehow I managed to squint my way through classes and still do well.

I'm not surprised at all that he got a $400 guitar (in 1970's money, 400 in 1970 is over 3000 in 2022), a Gibson, regardless of wherever it was made, for a present. And lessons. I and many others had to get a job the day they turned 15 and buy their first guitar for $100 a few paychecks in. ($100 in 2022 would only be $13 in 1970)

suggestion to the cast and crew here? if you go off on a tangent with like guitars and what not... just do the tangent. don't bring it back until you need to. then make the guitar talk its own episode or sidecar or segment. Dana Carvey and David Spade had Bill Burr on their podcast and the entire last 20 or 25 minutes is them just talking drums. Carvey and Spade did a commerical break, then introduced the segment and said, "if you don't want to hear about drums, you're done with the episode." And let me tell you, it was a blast.! Who says there should be a time limit? Adam Sachs? Fire him!!!! FIRE HIM

I loved this! Talking shop! 😂 and the cherry on top 9:09 😭 that reminded me of Murphys bit but a LA calabasas 👏🏽 Ps. My first guitar was technically one that traveled through a Civil war in El Salvador and made it’s way to LA in the 80’s to end up in my hands in and out until I got serious about it, after having tried out the drums, bass and then infinity looping back 2 the future and voila, Guitara Acoustica! Self taught around circa early 2k’s. Thang was janky and super warped and the bridge was raised and I used to cut my fingers because I literally had no clue how, BUT here I am. Saved by the strum, which keeps my heart ruppupumpum. ❤️🩹 😊 Anywho- Big ups for sparking nostalgia!
