My first electric guitar is finally back in my hands… a Kent 595 from the mid 60s, made in Japan. This Kent 595 was the guitar I started on at 12 years old, and now I’m thinking about restoring it.
There’s something special about getting your first electric guitar back—especially a vintage Kent 595 with this much history. Should I restore this Kent 595 or keep it original?
If you’re into vintage guitars, beginner guitar journeys, or guitar restoration projects, this one hits all of it. This is where my guitar journey started… and it might be getting a second life.
