Members Alex_SF Posted November 24, 2009 Members Share Posted November 24, 2009 Was also my first -- a '63 Fender Jaguar, which I found in the attic and appropriated from my father, who'd put it up in storage many years before and wasn't using it. I didn't appreciate it so much at the time, though: it was (and still is) heavily reliced (naturally), and the pickups were not so great for the hard rock and metal that I was mostly into at the time. I went the opposite path of many here by "upgrading" at age 16 to a plywood-bodied Hondo II Rhoads copy, which I bought with my paper route/lawnmowing money. Glad I didn't sell the Jag to buy it -- it's a good thing I still considered it my father's guitar at the time (and have all along, even though he recently told me he'd pretty much given it to me when I appropriated it).

Members guitarman3001 Posted November 24, 2009 Members Share Posted November 24, 2009 Depends...not sure what would qualify as a "good" guitar. Take a look at the guitars listed in my sig and tell me if any of those qualify and I'll tell you when I got it. That said, I do have a Takamine santa fe nylon string acoustic that I paid 1200.00 for. It's my most expensive guitar and definitely qualifies as a "real" or "good" guitar. I've had it about 15 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Muddslide Posted November 24, 2009 Members Share Posted November 24, 2009 I had a couple of cheapie junkers to begin with, then a Peavey T-60, then a '73 Telecaster.Of all the gear I've bought, traded and sold, that Tele is one of only two instruments I regret parting with. Best neck I ever felt on an electric guitar. It played and sounded better than a '65 Tele I also had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dwerlin Posted November 24, 2009 Members Share Posted November 24, 2009 Martin D-16RGT (I'm really an acoustic player at heart, have 6 acoustics...I only own 1 electric and 1 amp)orMartin DX-1...I think it's a 'good' guitar, but I know many who think otherwise (due to body material construction). I got the DX-1 about 2 years before the D-16RGT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Orange Jackson Posted November 24, 2009 Members Share Posted November 24, 2009 My first guitar was an ibanez acoustic in 1992. still have it and really enjoy that one. My first real electric was one of the original Jet kings by ibanez, sold that one and wish I still had it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dougie.Douglas Posted November 24, 2009 Members Share Posted November 24, 2009 My 1st 'proper' guitar was my Dean ML. My dad bought me it on my 15th birthday, 2 years after I started playing. I very rarely play it (Recently found out that I much prefer playing the blues, and Jazz). Its nice to look at though, in the corner of my room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metallica_00 Posted November 24, 2009 Members Share Posted November 24, 2009 My first was the squier affinity strat pack I got for Christmas in 7th grade after much begging to the parent.After 2 years, they chipped in to help me buy an ibanez rg3120 prestige. In hindsight, very much the wrong guitar for the player I ended up being. And it didn't hold value very well, sold it for about half of what I bought it for. Used the proceeds to help buy my 535, much better guitar across the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crisco Posted November 24, 2009 Members Share Posted November 24, 2009 1988 Fender Strat with the Floyd Rose and locking nut. Nice vintage sunburst color. I wasn't playing much guitar then as I was playing bass at the time. I bought it off this guy I was stationed with who really pushed it on me. How could I say no?
