I got my first electric guitar at a pawn shop. Ibanez gio series Gax70. it was 90$. I had to work my ass off for that guitar because my mom supports the family (dad's in jail) and its really hard for my mom. My first amp was a 10 watt Diplomat... Now im in this school program thats pretty cool. I have to go to these classes and they pay me money if i attend those classes. But they're fucking boring as hell though. I give my mom half of my money and save the rest. And i work at exxon as a stock boy
