Just curious..Some people seem to have a sentimental attachment to their first axe. I have a sparkly purple Yamaha strat. haha.

I pick it up once in a while and shred some stuff out on it. Takes me back to the days when I first started. I remember one time, I started crying because I somehow turned the distortion off, and I couldn't figure out how to turn it back on.

My first guitars were a Squier Strat and some cheap Yamaha acoustic. No idea what happened to the Strat, and I loaned to the Yamaha to a friend of a friend and never saw it again. I still have my first REAL guitar, though: 1992 Gibson Les Paul Studio. I don't really play it that much any more, but I can't really see myself ever selling it.

My Yamaha Strat knockoff is my first guitar, and it's between my drawer and keyboard as we speak. I ain't getting rid of it ever. Two reasons: 1) I'm so attached to it; 2) Who'd buy it :lol:

Even though it's all broken in pieces I still have mine.


heheee. I've got my second guitar, the Epiphone SG...Or rather, I have the body of it. When I tell people I have a body out in the garage, they suddenly get like :ugh:.

Yes, still have my first guitar though I've ripped out so much parts it's not even funny anymore. It was a crappy B.C Rich Warlock from the bronze series.

But still, first guitar is just something you don't sell IMO.

I dont have either my first acoustic or my first electric. Honestly, I cant remember what happened to my epiphone acoustic, it wasnt all that great anyway.

And I traded in the jackson dinky to help me buy something better.

Squier Strat, just like a lot of people. I'm planning on keeping it until I die. It's currently where I practice my guitar repair skills :lol:. It's partially (and badly) scalloped, has no strings, and I'm pretty sure the truss rod is just rattling around inside.

my first guitar that i bought is sitting in a guitar shop in the used section... i honestly can't go to that store anymore, because every time I walk in it's still there and it just pops out with it's bright red color (the place isn't very busy and the guitar doesn't really fit with their main clientele), it's a bit eerie actually. ltd-h201

Yep! A very low-end Epiphone black SG copy, now rendered unplayable. Good times with that thing

Acoustic: Yes. Still have it.. Its a Greg Bennett :lol: But it only has 5 tuning keys. and the strings havent been changed in 7 years. :lol:

Electric: Still got that one too! Its a dean avalanche. BUT I took it apart, repainted it (the paint kind of sucked), so I Rerepainted it, put a new pickguard on it, the next day, the paint flaked off :scratch: so I sanded the finish off.. and it sits under my bed at the moment. I even have the shitty 10 watt amp it came with.

first guitar that had ever been given to me was an old Peavey T-60. wish I still had that thing.

But the first guitar I got when I became serious about guitar was a squier HH strat that I ended up putting EMG's in. it actually played nice for a squier. I would still have it were it not for a house fire taking it from me...
