my first was a strat copy made by Becker. absolute piece of ****e!!!!!!!!!!!!! i actually walked into the shop and said "i want to buy my first electric guitar, and know nothing at all". i got ripped off, as i should have! I learnt to do my homework from then on.....
My first guitar was Harmony accoustic bought from Sears by my parents for a Christmas gift, and I still have it.
The first guitar I bought for myself was a 1985 Takemine N-25 (basically an all rosewood, spruce top, N-20) jumbo accoustic. Only 500 were made. I still have it.
My first electric guitar was 1987 Fender USA Stratocaster. I wish I still had it. I have since owned a variety of Strats (Roadhouse, Ash, 50th Deluxe, Highway One) but none sounded or felt as good as that '87 US Strat.

Parents bought me a nice Daion Classical when I was 6 (still got it).
They insisted I learn classical, so it was the Daion for 10 years until I stopped lessons and wanted to be a 16yr old Rock Star.
First Electric was a Washburn, but traded it on the Satch.
Still got the Satch.

Mine was an 3/4 size acoustic nylon no namer.
First electric was a Hondo 2 Les Paul copy - that was a pretty cool guitar, though had some major fret buzz issues. I sold it after a few years to go halves with my father for my next electric.

First guitar ever was a Yamaha nylon acoustic at the age of 7.
I still own it though I'm 31 now...
First electric was a 1979 Ibanez Musician MC300 Limited Edition. Awesome guitar, but guess what - sold it lately in favor of the purchase of another Ball
...get it ?!

Hohner Strat 59 copy, sold it for 30 Euros
My first was a black Series A (Strat knock off)
I paid $119 for it at the time.
It was actually a great guitar. I lent it to a "friend" asI was buying Kramers and Washburns at the time. I never saw it again, but am sure he still has it. He's a cheap s.o.b.

I still have my first guitar (acoustic) - it's an old, beat-up Takamine. So old, in fact, that the bridge has lifted off of the body and is now held in place by a thru-bolt
My first electric guitar was a cheap red Aria Pro. I wound up getting rid of that one about a year later when I picked up a Gibson Flying V (which I still have). After that I added a Kramer American Pacer Deluxe and started forming my own stable. A few years later I added a custom 7 string to the mix, and over the past 3 years I've added a lot of Balls.

I still have my first, a super nice Rosewood ASS
I'm an old fart Baby Boomer starting late in life. I'm lucky that I stumbled into EBMM before I made a mistake buying from that "Life Style" Co.
I'll never be any good, and I struggle a lot, but the journey is what its all about and it has been fun.

A Charvette (by Charvel) in 1990. At that time I thought it is good, payed 900 DM (=450 €). Nowadays I can´t believe what crap it is. It has bad PUPs, no sound, because it has a very little body and a short scale. Plus the headstock was ultramodern at this time. Unbelieveable.
I don´t play it anymore, but would neer sell it. I would get nothing for it and it is a great memory

I remember that guitar. My brother had a Yellow one with a reverse headstock.
My first guitar was a Hondo Explorer, before said brother put his foot through the neck. So no, I don't have it anymore.
