Your first Electric Guitar was a .......

[roburado]

1989 Fender Strat Plus, Gun Metal Blue, Maple
Still have it.

 

[fbecir]

an Aria Pro II. In fact, it was my brother guitar.

The first one I bought was an ESP Horizon Custom. Nice guitar for Heavy Metal, but you cannot use it for anything else ...

 

[Warg Master]

Ibanez RGX20

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

Aria CT2 Jackson style Superstrat. Had the softest fretwire ever!

 

[Astrofreq]

It was a Lotus crapocaster. It was red with Black EVH type stripes. It did have a double locking tremolo, surprisingly enough. I wish I still had it for sentimental reasons. Sad thing is, I was in my parents hometown in a guitar store about 5 years ago and saw that exact SAME guitar on the wall. I laughed about it and didn't buy it, even at $100.

Biggest regret ever.

Now I feel a bit embarrassed as you guys had some pretty decent first electric guitars...here's some pics of an identical guitar to the one I had. My Rockster came in a starters pack with a 0.5w amp, curly lead, strap and pick!!! Oooo yeah!

That lasted me a year and then I sold it to get a Washburn MG42.

Thankfully I've come a long way:

My First guitar was a 1957 Les Paul Junior that my grandfather bought in 1957 and later passed it along to me when I decided to play guitar. I later purchased a Peavey Raptor because I thought the Junior looked ugly... after the broke and I sent it in twice I gave up on having a new guittar and returned to the Les Paul.
Shortly there after I was given a custom Gibson Explorer by my uncle which I played the heck out of...

I then gave up playing for 8-9 years and gave everything away except my Les Paul...
When I returned to Playing I bought an ESP Eclipse simply because the Les Paul was too heavy to play, and then I bought an OLP MM1F and then a month later I bought a 1980's ESP Custom Shop Strat...

And Now i'm building my own Strat (like) guitar and I will one day man up and sell everything and buy a EBMM...

THAT GUITAR RULES!!! IT'S GOT DRAGONS, SKULLS, FIRE, AND LIGHTNING!!!! I'VE ONLY DREAMED OF A GUITAR THAT COOL, AND YOU ACTUALLY GOT TO PLAY ONE!!

It's actually so outlandish I might have to find one.

My first guitar was a black Kay Les Paul copy from a home catalogue in the early 80's. Awful, you could drive a truck between the strings and the fretboard. Had me in tears trying to learn barre chords

Second was much better, one of the legendary first Japanese Squiers, a wonderful butterscotch Tele. Wish I still had it to sell now, worth a bit nowadays. Traded it for an equally early Squier Strat.

Only years later did I get through enough other guitars to realise just how good those two were.

Just wish I'd made it to EBMM ownership long before now!

looks to me, most of us have learned the hard way. But we have all ended at the same conclusion (except for Foggy)

[jongitarz]

Gibson ES 125 Single P90. My Dad bought it for me when I was 5. That would be 1959. I wish I still had it.

 

[rmh925]

1983 Fender Strat in 3 tone sunburst with a vol and tone and where the other tone knob was suppose to be was the jack....fender was trying something new, but was the last and only year they produced them...Guitar sounded great, but did not like the jack where they put it so i sold it.....

 

[wolfbone07]

Epiphone acoustic. Then Ibanez 540S. Both gone. First Ball was a Morse in (what else?) Morse Blue.

 

[jeffrey]

Some horrible Lotus Les Paul Studio copy that sounded like crap, played like crap and stayed in tune like crap.

Needless to say, it was crap!

tell your students!

 

[slukather]

Man my first electric was some cheap red strat copy, with the action set that high on it, it was almost impossible to play, l had an nylon acoustic before that.
