Played my uncles acoustic for a little bit before my first but here goes.

1. Squier Strat - Black - Currently in bits with the body reshaped/refinished, bigger frets going in and swapping out s/s/s for h/s/s. Work in progress.

2. Ibanez IC400 Iceman - Black - One of my favourite shaped guitars ever, really love playing this one bar the neck dive it suffers. Needs pickup swap

3. Epiphone 'Goth' Flying-V - Matte Black - Great guitar to just pick up and jam, probs my most comfortable to play standing up. Does have a few small manufacturing flaws which dont effect setup or playability so really a non issue, could do with some new pups too.

4. LTD MH-250 NT - Dark Brown Sunburst - Love this guitar, great quality instrument for the price and a great all rounder. LTD EMG copies could do with replacing.

5. Ibanez RG7321 - Black / Natural sides and back (tung oil) - Really happy with how the refinish came out on this, wood grain on the back of the body is actually suprisingly nice, EMG 707's fitted. Could do with some fretwork/set up but still shreds.

I've only had 4 guitars so far but I'll post anyway.

Some shitty black shortscale acoustic (I think the neck warped and I got rid of it)
Ibanez RG120 (Got this because Dragonforce played Ibanez :facepalm: sold it cause I stopped playing it)
LTD EC-200QM (I was going through a Les Paul phase and this fit the bill, I still occasionally play it, needs new strings)
1986 Charvel Model 4 (I'd been GASing for an 80's metal guitar and this one came up, plays nice, needs intonated badly and I'm not getting along well with the Kahler)

First 5 Guitars ive actually owned since I started to play, not including the other 12 in the household...

1) Yamaha erg 121 (Argos starter pack- cheap jobby)

2) Ibanez RG350ex (knew nothing about guitars really at this point but research into price/quality made me go for this as it a had a floating trem to try)

3) 1964 Jedson es335 copy (lovely guitar, tuning was a pain though, its now on a collectors website here Jedson Semi-Hollow Electric Photo Gallery by Mark E at pbase.com )

4) Twin neck Gibson copy (needed it for a cover of Zanadu by Rush - cheaply made but after a setup was great)

5) Ibanez RG1527 (discoverd 7 string guitars, liked the idea of having more range - to play joanna newsom&classical music- so went for a prestige)

since then 7 I havent looked back really, purely 7's since

1. Sx strat copy. Not terrible but is now without strings or saddles and hasn't been used in 2 years. I'm going to get it back playing but I don't have much use for it anymore.
2. Epiphone Les Paul. Actually pretty decent guitar and still gets played alot around the house.
3. Jackson SL3. Great guitar, gigged it for ages but it could with a bit of work to get it back to gig ready condition.
4. Jackson SL2H. Best guitar I own and I'll never sell it.
5. Schecter C7 Hellraiser. My first 7 string. Really solid guitar and another one I've gigged a load. My bandmate uses it for our shows now and it still plays great.

I still get a lot of use out of my first 5 and I haven't got rid of any of them. I share the first two with my brother, we half paid for both.

Unknown Super Strat Copy Pile of Shit - Got it when I was 13 from a pawnshop, played this living shit out of it, everything on it had been repaired much like a trailer park. Friend dropped it off my porch by accident helping me move years later, neck snapped, rage happened.

Ibanez RG720 - My first semi-real guitar. Sold it to my friends little sister who was learning to play as I was leaving town, haven't seen her or it since.

Fender DG-22CE Blonde/Gold Acoustic - My first acoustic. Only guitar I kept when I moved across the state. Played it for 13 years or so. Sold it to an old friend who was on hard times. Still see it every few weeks. She still gets played and is well pampered.

Schecter Damien 7 - My first 7 :noplease:, could've made a better decision with more input but my impatience got to me. Traded in at guitar center, the first in a long line of trades and deals.

Agile Septor Pro 272 - Loved it. Couldn't find anyone who would even jam with me using a 7. Eventually sold it locally through craigslist.

1. Yamaha CG-120-A

Nice little classical guitar, sounds and plays great for a < $200 instrument.

2. Washburn D10S12

12 string guitar that I never really got into. Recently I've been using it a lot because its the only steel string acoustic I have, but I did take half the strings off :lol:

3. Alhambra P7

Absolutely gorgeous classical guitar, purchased to aid in the completion of my classical guitar studies.

4. Squier Fat Strat Standard

First electric guitar. Great versatile guitar, has served me well for 5 or 6 years now, and it still gets a lot of playtime because I only own 2 electrics and they couldn't be more different.

5. Ibanez RG7620

Don't really need to describe this one :lol:. Bought it on a hunch without even touching one.

1. Squire Strat - Later became my goto test guitar for mods, pretty much unplayable anymore
2. 1980 fender F-85 acoustic handed down to be by an Uncle of mine for my 16th birthday
3. 2006 Ibanez SA2120 FM Prestige - The first guitar I ever bought for myself, which I am quite proud of. It is one of the few MIK Prestiges that were ever made
4. 2009 EBMM JP6 - In no way do I see myself skilled enough to have one of these, but I worked my ass off and saved up for it myself, and proud of it
5. 2010 Schecter Loomis C-7FR - My first seven that I bought, and gets loads of abuse daily :shred:
