My very first guitar was a Kay SG copy....piece of ultimate shite guitar.
It was presented to me by my mother along with a Crate CR-12 amplifier (the orange crate looking things).
For some reason those things are worth a lot of money now, so i am told. I just never saw that coming or i wouldn't have destroyed it when i got my Les Paul...
What really sucks is that i paid $750.00 for that Les Paul NEW and probably couldn't touch that guitar today for less than $5,000.00.
Do you have a guitar in mind that you are planning to buy?

A '92 Epiphone S-310 that looked kinda like one of Eddie's old Kramers. I still have it.

Honestly, no but I am open to suggestions. I'm still a "beginner" when it comes to playing guitar (I've had my accoustic for almost 2 years) so I'd like a good "beginner's guitar." Also, since I'm a poor college student , I don't want it too expensive either.Originally posted by Cathedral

Ibanez has some decent axe's that are very affordable for the beginner that don't play like coffee table rejects.Originally posted by Crmlcrm216

The Mexican Strat idea is a good one as well, although i don't really like ebay for guitars.
I like to play them before i buy, personally.
Play a bunch of guitars before buying one so you'll find the one that fits you best is what i recommend.

I think mine was a Hondo II that would've put Edward's Frankenstrat to shame if they were propped together side-by-side. That fucker was so butchered, I'm not too sure where ANY of the parts came from. I think the only thing I bought new for it was a new set of tuning keys, new knobs, and Ernie Ball strings. The pickups were ratshit third-hand humbuckers that'd seen the inside of about a half dozen different guitars. The bridge was so fucked, the whole damned thing went flat about every third chord. The guy that owned it before me took a woodburning knife to it and burned a coyote howling at the moon next to the tailpiece. I plugged into any amp that someone carried in the door - Crate, Randall, you name it. I think the best damn thing about it was the strap.

Fender Heavy Metal Strat.
Still have it.

I had a black and white Les Paul copy, (cheap) made by some company called "Amena" ..... I bet nobody has heard of them,
I dont think I have since.. (Korean maybe ?)
It looked cool, but the neck was fucked. But I didnt really care at the
time as I was only noodling around the first position and sometimes daringly up near the fifth fret...
The first electric I bought that I actually loved, and still own is my 85 Ibanez Destroyer II...

Vibra Les Paul copy, piece of crap, I think the neck
is still in my parents basement somewhere.
85 Kramer Striker - what a piece of shit.
If I was starting out today I would look around the $400 - $600 range for a good used guitar and then pay a professional to set it up for you.

Well, I ended up buying a Squier Affinity Telecaster the other day and I'm very happy with it. Here's what it looks like:
I'm currently learning how to play "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love".

Nice axe, I like the tele's..........
By the way, this is a great topic. I enjoy seeing and knowing i wasn't the only fucker here who started on a guitar i was NEVER happy with, lol.
I still have my first. Ive been playing for about 7 months now, self taught. (yeah I still need practice big time) I have a "GK" whatever the fuck THAT is. I just picked up a nice 1990 IBANEZ from the pawn shop for $200. Much better.

Ive got a Vibe amp, but I spotted a sweet Peavy at the same pawn shop for under $200, so thats the next purchase. Separate foot switch for reverb, which will go nice with the MT metal pedal, Stereo Flanger, DD6 Delay, Phase 90 shifter and Dunlop Cry. I want the stereo chorus next. Fuck Im greedy. Anyone want to add to my list of what I might want to add. Or not?
Got a KENT SG COPY for Christmas in'84. Traded it in on a MARTIN STINGER TELE COPY in 1986 at HERB DAVID in ANN ARBOR. I would love to get another one, for the sake of nostalgia. Should have NEVER gotten rid of it!!!!!!! It was a piece of shit, but, in hindsite it was kinda cool.

Im not anymore. The fuckin thing was sold, no less to a buddy of mine that runs the dj spot at the titty bar. I still got the vibe. Used amps dont happen often in my hick town.
any suggestions on one?
I just remember the words Peavey and Bandit. The guy said it was 100 watts. Looked fairly new. I dunno. Maybe 5 years old. He wanted under $200 for it. Prob could've talked him down more.
Ok, now that this thread is active again : my first electric was a les paul copy (Yasuki), a piece of shit with the action so high I could get my hand between the strings and the fretboard. My second was a strat copy (Daytone), then a real strat, then a Kramer Pacer, and my fifth a Kramer Stagemaster wich I still have. I must've had between 25 or 30 guitars after that. I only kept the best ones!
I'll take that pacer off your hands. I have a strat copy now.
Ibeenhad roadter 2 series. what a piece of shit. traded it for a Rick bass. Like the black & white on Mike had on the 84 tour.

Sold that Pacer 15 years ago. Man, I'm getting old! Actually, I've had 3 Kramers American Series : a Pacer, a Stagemaster flattop and a Stagemaster archtop. The Stagemaster flattop is the superior guitar and still in my posession!Originally posted by Big Troubles

ohh by the way my first guitar was the eddie van halen model kramer baretta...a few years ago i bout it to a guitar shop to have it altered to sound like eddies guitar and its awesome but a little to 80-'s sounding which i think is a great sound and should be bought back
Had a no-name Telecaster copy. The action was so damn high off the fretboard that it played like a steel-stringed acoustic. Cost about $50.
Eventually took a bunch of acrylic paints and dripped them onto the guitar to try and make it look cool, and of course it came out looking like vomit.
That was back when $500 was a lot to spend on a new guitar. Remember Jackson and Charvel were the first I had heard of breaking a grand for a brand new axe in the mid-1980s.
