What was your first guitar?

[Crmlcrm216]

I'm planning on buying an electric guitar and I just wanted to know what everyone's first was.

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.

Get a used mexican Strat from ebay for a couple hunderd bucks...

[alexpgrimes]

I had a hondo flying V. Still wish I still had it. I guess it was rare. Who knew??? lol

I had a Hondo Mad Cat. crappy Tele copy. it was not rare at all.

My friend has a Gibson SG - Angus young style guitar, sounds nice n looks nice, not too expensive, but then again not too cheap.

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

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've seen those Guitars.......They are more communist than China....

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.
