My first kit was a Slingerland. Not sure what era, as I got it used. According to this website, it's late 70's early 80's?

It was a student model kit. Mahogany shells, with a candy apple red wrap. Currently it's owned by one of my former students.
I miss Slingerland, and because it was my first it will always have a special place in my heart. Had they not gone under, or been overpriced and tossed aside by Gibson, I'd probably still play them today.
