Members Lonnie99 Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 Here's mine. New 2001 Squier Standard Series HH Strat. I was 39 at the time. I decided to try bass for a while back in 2003 and sold all my 6 strings. Duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cratz2 Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 My first electric was a hand-me-down that was exactly like this: The first guitar that was bought for me was a Japanese Fender in 1984 (though I couldn't swear to the year of the guitar) that was pearl white, H/S/S, rear routed, black headstock and had a 5 way switch rather than three mini toggles. I've looked around for pics of one exactly like mine and have not been successful but something like a hybrid of these two: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fuelish Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 Looked like this, HOLY SHAT!!!! that's the exact same guitar I cut my teeth on back in, oh...mmmm...'68-ish. The neck got broken in a change of residence, and I pitched it in the trash - this was pre-internet/eBay days, had I known I'd be able to easily score a replacement neck, I would've kept her. I loved that thing. At the time, I thought it was a pos because it wasn't a Gibson or Fender, but it played amazingly....now that I know better, it was really a pretty decent instrument, especially for a 10 year old kid So, yup ... that ol' Harmony H15 Bobkat was my first as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members edremy Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 The Pacifica 112j on the left. Still have it- I use it for alternate tunings since they're a PITA with the Floyd on my 921. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HairwayToSteven Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 I have it's righty twin: 1978 Strat. It was everything I didn't want in a guitar at the time. 21 frets, no humbuckers, and no locking tremolo, but it was the only thing my dad would help me out buying. I'm very glad he is a stubborn man. I know a lot of 70's Strats play and sound "dead", but this one is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Henry Path Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 It was some kind of no-name sunburst semi-hollow, real cheap, with a tremolo that worked alright but made an excruciating creaking noise when used. Fed back like a bastard. VERY microphonic pickups - you could shout into 'em and have your voice come out of the amp distorted and really loud.

Members HP Hovercraft Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 It was a Hondo Strat copy that looked just like this: Circa 1988. I've since had an aversion to both Strats and Candy Apple Red, but I'm coming around on both. Yes, it took 24 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 A 1966 Framus acoustic My Dad bought it for me new back in the day when I was around 10 yo. Practically unplayable at the time, high action and very small frets. I later discovered how to lower the bridge, but it still takes a highly skilled acoustic player to make it sing.

Members grungehack Posted July 13, 2012 Members Share Posted July 13, 2012 Rok Axe black strat copy bought at Walmart. It was a total piece of {censored}, bought in '97 with money from my 1st job. Being a newb, I had no idea how to set it up, I'm sure the action was pretty high. Didn't even have an amp at the time, I used to crank it through the mic jack on my stereo, sounded like a combination of bees and a chorus of whoopee cushions.

Yes, it took 24 years. this is exactly what my first guitar was. same color and everything. small world. my guitar teacher at the time ended up buying it off of me, refinishing it in a gorgeous british racing green and modding the heck out of it. it sounded amazing when he was done. of course, he was a great player.
