Members keNz Posted July 12, 2005 Members Share Posted July 12, 2005 Ibanez GRX20.. cheap as hell, but it was solid. What a mistake to start out on an Ibanez though... all other guitar necks afterward feel thick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Krillicx Posted July 12, 2005 Members Share Posted July 12, 2005 Surf Blue Hagstrom II. Smells like a basement, needs electrical work and has a broken bridge(made a bootleg piece it works so-so). The neck owns though. Like that only surf blue of course.

Members Blackbelt1 Posted July 12, 2005 Members Share Posted July 12, 2005 A "Strat-o-lin" purchased from Woolworths Department Store, with a terrible little amp, for $70. Had strings like telephone poles and action so high a city bus could pass underneath. Probably long consumed in someone's fireplace during a harsh winter's night. ~Blackbelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members oggy Posted July 12, 2005 Members Share Posted July 12, 2005 I had an old plywood Hondo, man that was a POS. Now that I look back i'm glad I had that guitar cause it taught me how to do a setup. It needed so much work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nateguitar Posted July 12, 2005 Members Share Posted July 12, 2005 POS Squier acoustic with the action literally a quarter inch off the fretboard (If you've setup a guitar before, you know that is {censored}ing high) Good thing I rented an electric, another POS Squier.. there was so much buzz I couldn't hear the notes, but at least I knew there were guitars out there that were playable!

Members 2M4 Dale Posted July 12, 2005 Members Share Posted July 12, 2005 I got my first guitar in 66 or 67. It was a Made in Spain ARIA classical guitar ..... my first electric came in 71. It was a Aria A-1932 SG copy. .... I've got some pics of it somewhere .... I'll see if I can't scan 'em and post 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dean Medlock Posted July 12, 2005 Members Share Posted July 12, 2005 I got some POS, $15 Strat/Jaguar mutant copy...don't even know where it was made...for my first guitar. My parents got it for me at a garage sale when I was 15 (1978). I also got a $10, no-name, POS amplifier that was better at shocking the crap out of you than amplifying what I was playing. My parents went this direction because they figured that me wanting to play guitar was just a passing fad and that I'd tire of it rather quickly...so they didn't want to be out a lot of money. Well, to make a long story short...I played that POS every day for 3-5 hours for a year...my fingers bled, blistered, calloused, bled again, blistered again, calloused again... When my 16th birthday was approaching, I asked my parents for a new guitar and amp...it didn't have to be anything spectacular, just something decent (at that stage anything would have been an improvement). Imagine my surprise when on my 16th birthday my parents surprised me with a new, black-and-gold Gibson Les Paul Custom and a new Yamaha 30-watt amplifier. I guess in this case, persistance paid off. 27 years later, I'm still playing poorly...but I'm still playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members u6crash Posted July 12, 2005 Members Share Posted July 12, 2005 Mine was an Epiphone Strat copy with a particle board body. I like that the headstock is painted black to match the body, but it doesn't play well. It is in a gig bag in the closet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
