“I learned to play everything on it. We wrote our first song as Jonas Brother on that guitar”: In the mid-2000s, the Jonas Brothers exploded onto the scene as a guitar-slinging band for teens – Kevin Jonas looks back on the guitar that started it all

The phenomenon that was – and still is – the Jonas Brothers has been going on for two decades, and the brother triumvirate – Kevin, Nick, and Joe – have been in the limelight for just as long.

In 2005, the trio recorded their first song, Please Be Mine, which caught the attention of the Columbia Records president at the time. Tours with artists the likes of Kelly Clarkson and the Backstreet Boys followed, with the teen band going from strength to strength and quickly becoming Disney Channel staples.
