What was your very first guitar??

[Musician78]

Mine was some no name classical acoustic thing that I borrowed from a family friend. It had the nylong strings and they sucked ass (being new to the guitar thing). I learned what metal/grunge I could on this for a couple of months until I got Epiphone electric. But I almost didn't stick with it thanks to those strings.....

A BC Rich Bich....didn't have an amp and got discouraged. I was in the Marines at that time and never stuck with it enough to learn much.

Mine was out of the JC Penny catalog. Got it for Christmas. I think the name on the guitar was Harmony, but not sure. Anyway, the guitar and small amp were $99. The amp didn't even have any distortion! But... I was only 11 and that was the greatest Christmas ever.

a brand new 1982 candy red,white pick guard, maple neck HONDO strat. that son of a bitch was heavy/ les paul heavy.it looked good and sounded like tin though a 10 or 15 watt peavy decade. you coulda killed a bear with that guitar. kinda wish i still had it now and put a charvel maple neck on it, the sustain would be insane.

1986 - 12 years old - Black Hondo H76 strat with a Ross 8" 15 or 20 watt amp. I got the Ross instead of the Gorilla because it's my last name. $150 out the door. And the only brand new guitar I ever bought.

white 86 Charvel Model 2 that I got when I was in the Navy. I still have guitar and won't sell it.

Crap behringer strat copy and a Behringer amp to go with it. A year later I painted it pink, turned out pretty nicely but the neck sucked.



Here is a pic. To the right is a B.c Rich I also painted at same time.

I have no Idea why I chose those colors ><
The Warlock, would be my main guitar for a few months and actually wasnt replaced as my main guitar until 3 years later when I finished my King V (The warlock has been seriosly modified tho, its white now, with sperzels and Dimarzio. There is a picture of him in my signature)

a cheapo Kay acoustic from the little music store in my town, I was 11

I literally never learned to play it and I think I gave it away before going to college and then really learned how to play on a 1984 Fender Squier Tele MIJ.

Early 1985. Aria Pro II RS Classic. 3 whimpy (4K?) single coils. Amp was a Gorilla TC-35 "tube crunch".

Horrible tones (I wanted metal), but you learn by being a newbie. Wish we would have had the web back then. People nowadays have it easy.

I didn't start playing until I was 19 (that was 1992). A friend of mine was needing money and had a 1987 Washburn KC-60V superstrat and Crate 10 watt amp for sale. My parents bought it for me as an early Christmas gift. Thankfully, I still own it. I have other guitars that are nicer, but it still holds its own and has a certain mojo to it. I still play it a decent amount.

Mine was called a Johnson Strat knockoff. I think it was johnson actually, but not completely sure. It sucked ass, and I FUCKED up the tremolo unit SOOOOO bad.
