What was your very first guitar??

[wetrx95]

I think 1983...Cort LP copy; white with black pick guard. Don't remember amp. The deal was, I stick with lessons for three months and I could get a new guitar...I then started leaning Sabbath and Deep Purple on my own...learning more than the lessons. Canned the lessons, got an Aria Pro II ZZ Deluxe; blue/black sunburst; two hot blades hums (standard!); rosewood fretboard; the only change was swapping the standard trem for a basic Kahler locking nut. Later got a Peavey Backstage Plus which was my amp for over 20 (!) years. I took the guitar out of storage late last year and played it for the first time in over ten years...sweet ride.

Peavey Backstage Plus was my first amp too...full saturation and an Ibanez TS9 with everything on full...no noise gate, so once I started playing, stopping wasn't an option...not even between songs. Our set list was more like a two hour medley.

Some 40 year old piece of shit Soviet made 7-string acoustic guitar that my father owned. A friend of us put better 6 string tuners on it.
But the action was ridiculous, holy shit, but it made my fingers strong.

a black 1976 fender strat with a stock trem and routed for a humbucker no less, it was the shit.

[Sunbane]

A black Hohner strat that turned me off of strats forever. The fucking piece of shit.

Mine was a black strat style guitar with a white pickguard by Bradley, I paid $50 for it used from a friend in high school back in 1995. I was dying to learn the Fade to Black solo soooo bad... I still have it at my brothers house, I'm pretty sure he wants to give it to my nephew.

First guitar was a black and silver striped (ala EVH) Hondo strat with a Gorilla amp. Got it probably around 85-86.

[Spivonious]

Black Yamaha 120SD. An odd guitar...tele shaped but with no pickguard, two direct-mounted humbuckers, and a hardtail bridge. Still got those bright Tele sounds. I think it was a maple body. I think I paid $300 for it scratch-and-dent at my local music store (it was dropped while unpacking). I think it was part of the Pacifica series, but it didn't say it anywhere on the guitar. Just a big YAMAHA on the headstock, and the model number on a sticker.

I played through a DOD G6 15W, 8" speaker practice amp back then. Surprisingly, it could compete with a loud drummer with only a little bit of (extra) distortion.

edit: just like this one but with black hat knobs with white numbers, not chrome. http://guitarhunter.blogspot.com/200...l#comment-form

1983, Westone Raider 2, blue and yellow glitter finish. I was 13, bought by my parents as a bribe to go on holiday with them rather than staying home alone. I still have it, I did post a pic on here once and some of you fuckers said it looked like a Culture Club guitar, so I won't be posting any more. Fuck you!

Oh, and I was such a pain in the arse anyway, they never wanted me to go on hols with them again. The next year I stayed at home, lost my virginity to a 24 yr old (woman, you sick bastards), and developed a life-long dislike of brandy after drinking enough to float a battleship. One morning I staggered out of bed and went downstairs, saw that guitar and decided to give it a nice thrashing.
This brought my next door neighbour round complaining for the first time ever. He told me his Mrs was going mental after listening to me partying and shagging all night and they didn't want to hear my shitty guitar playing, and if I didn't STFU he'd tell my Mum & Dad when they got home. Then he gave me a wink as if to say "Go on my son!"

The old dog never told my parents either!


Happy days.

Frets are worn down and the front pickup is dead and it's be refinished about a dozen times before I got it.

[wilkinsi]

My first guitar, bought for me as an Xmas prezzie, was a Fender copy, can't remember it's name. Ugly Chesney Hawks-looking thing. Red with white pickguard. Quickly parted it for a dark blue Hohner with slanted board.
