What was your very first guitar??

I started out playing classical guitar at 8, I think, and my parents actually rented a guitar for me at the local music school. I got my own at 10 or 11. It was a Japanese classical Spanish guitar and I still have it. It's pretty banged up, though. I guess I didn't respect wood back then I bought a cheap electric guitar at age 13 and then saved up to buy my black USA Strat. I still have it.

An Epiphone EPI Strat...

That was my second guitar, lol.

Mine was actually decent. I had a 1996 MIM Fender Strat. I still have it. Sounds good (Especially with the Vintage Noiseless pickups) and stays in tune well. I still use it for clean stuff.

Sears Silvertone guitar and amp. I paid $69.00 for both of them at Apex Pawn Brokers in White Plains, NY. I played that crummy guitar with action 1/8" off of the neck and that crappy SS amp with an 8" speaker and a cardboard cabinet for 3 years. I used to crazy glue the cuts in my fingers so that I could keep practicing. After 3 years I graduated up to a crappy Electro Harmonix distortion box plugged into my parents quadraphonic stereo.

1985, i was 11 years old and i wanted a killer rock guitar - like a kramer. my dad came home with my first of several vintage gibsons (1985-87 were sorry years for vintage gibsons), a sunburst 335 with horrible vibrola tail piece. i was so disappointed!!!! i played it through a cranked up reel-to-reel with lots of echo. it sounded great for my dad's rock-n-roll, but sucked monkey balls for my desire to be iron maiden....later i traded it for a modded, red ESP 400 series strat.

Ooh I wanna see that Boy George sig guitar!

Whoa whoa whoa!! I didn't say it was a Boy George sig guitar! It would have to be shaped like a pie, covered in chains, with an extending bit that shoved a cock up your arse if it was.

Black Airline from Montgomery Wards with a white p/guard. Had a kinda LP shape. Single cut-away style. Late 50's early 60's era.

A crappy sears catalog strat copy was my first guitar that was actually mine. It was a pos. I took it apart and painted the body red. It came out really nice. That was late 70's maybe 1980. I have no idea what happened to it. The first guitar that I ever played was my fathers 1950's harmony acoustic. It looked like a violin with the f-holes, trapeze tailpiece, and tortoise pickguard. The action was super high. I dont know where it is either.

'83 Gibson Explorer. I broke the neck on it otherwise I would have still had it.
