where is you first guitar, and would you ever get rid of your first guitar?

i personally wouldnt, becuase its my first, and im sure i will get more in the future.
but as crappy as it is, its my first guitar and i hope to keep it forever.
if i got a custom ran along with my current guitar and i then had to get rid of one of them for some reason or another, i would get rid of the ran...simple as that.
i could always get another custom later

yea this is a pointless thread, but the board is a bit dry at the moment and im bored

neways, yea, what would you do?

My first guitar was a Kramer Striker. I played it some, not enough, and then bought a bass so I could play ska. anyone remember ska? like 98-99 ish?

anyway haha, I ended up attempting to mod the kramer and failed because I'm impatient. scrapped the body, bought a new body on ebay, bolted the neck to it and that's as far as it's gotten. It's still in the corner waiting for some love, which it will eventually get.

so there you go, my first guitar is in the dump. well the body anyway.

My first Guitar is a DKMG so its way too good for a first guitar but even if I buy more guitars in future I will keep it.

all i can say is you guys were lucky to even have a good make 1st guitar
i had a session pro stratocaster in red with kinda scalloped frets
and to prove how shit they were they were manufaturers of drum kits.

Mentioned this in diff threads but...

First was a pawn shop Ibanez EX
One humbucker and two single coils.

I paid under 150.00 for it 5 years ago and of my 3 elects....is my best axe.
It stays in tune 10 times longer than my Epiphone or Squier.....I'll keep it forever I hope.

\m/

my first axe was an custom build by a dutch guitar builder

its was CRAP, not becuz it wasnt build right, but the idiot who designed it (my dad) gave it a thick neck, imagine a 7string neck with 6 strings

andyway, that wasnt rilli MY first guitar, my personal first was a washburn, just some cheap cap thingy (eventhough it was good for the price)

then a jackson warrior xt
then a ibanez rg prestige 7string
now.. a jackson warrior usa

I had an Epiphone G-400 that would'nt stay in tune for anything ... I know how that is. I'm still loving my Schecter.

yeah your schecter rules big time

I started with an Epiphone SG standard. . . I wouldn't have gotten rid of it and I haven't yet. . . My ex. . She and I had our names engraved in it because I was going to keep it "forever". Four years would make you think so but alas I was thrown a curveball on the path of paved shit we call life. I paid like 189 for it, the next week I got detention(for the first time.) As a bribe to keep me out of trouble my mom bought me a Crate 15 watt amp. . . I thought that was pretty cool but like 2-3 years later I was kicked out of school. . .that kinda sucked. Now of course, I've went from Ibanez RG 570(before the 1570 models) to a PRS santana SE(this one I will definitely keep. . . specially since I plan to eventually use mostly PRS) then I got an ESP EC-1000(in my opinion better than any Gibson les paul out there). I guess my true "first" guitar would be some piece of shit Yamaha SJ-180, it was like the only thing my dad left for me. . . it has the greatest sentimental value since it's all my dad ever gave me. . . as usual I'm rambling.

My first is a Yamaha ERG-121. And i would not get rid of it, because it is and always will be my first.

my first guitar was a rockson series, but in my opinion you should never get rid of a guitar, no matter how old or broken it is

why the fuck not? you mean you ain't suppose to sell guitars either?

I don't actually own my first guitar... I'm borrowing it from my uncle

__________________

Mine was a vintage. Don't know what model, but looked like a squire strat. It was in sunburst.
I gave it away to someone who was starting, I had no use for it any more and it wasn't really worth anything.

I got a tanglewood baretta jetstream, which I sold a few months ago.

I currently have an Ibanez rocket roll II, which I'm very fond of, and a vintage wraith - which I don't especially like.

I took apart my Epiphone and sold all the parts, body, neck.. ect on Ebay and made twice as much as it cost new. I destroyed my Squier... litterally. Still have the body and parts of the neck.. I wanted to see what was inside the neck.. I found a crappy truss rod and a really sloppy truss rod route.

Hi! my first guitar (and the only one i have!) is an Alhambra and i dont think i ll ever want to get rid of it...The first guitar you get is something special, especially if you had difficulties to get it(like i had). I even know ppl who give their guitars a name...

Didn't I answer this somewhere before?
Probably - years ago before most of you cunts were around.

Anyway - the first guitar that I ever had was a cheap, little accustic that is in my cupboard somewhere. You have to love small children with small guitars that are still to big to get their little fingers around the fretboard - and their little arms around the body.

damn you guys are luckey... i got a piece of shit Behringer strat remake... 3 extra shitty single coils, never stays in tune, and it feels like shit to... i hate it but il never get rid of it... its my first... i might break it though

__________________

My first was a crappy little Bronze Warlock. It came in a starter pack. Guitar, 10W amp, strap, bag, strings, picks. It had a humfucking pickup in the bridge position, and that was it. No neck pickup. I don't even think they make those anymore. I shouldn't have sold it, it might be a vintage some day. haha.
It was actually pretty good for the money. The whole package for $200. I sold the guitar and the amp to my lead guitarist for $100. It played pretty good for a cheap little piece of shit, good action, great playability, and it sounded pretty good too. Still does. I got rid of it because I bought a Bronze Warlock with two hum fucking pickups, because I wanted to have a good clean sound, as well.
I also have a LTD Explorer EX-102, and a Mitchell accoustic. The Mitchell cost $130 and it plays awesome!!! I have never played an accoustic with such low action. The strings are so fucking low, they almost touch the fucking neck. It does tend to have a bit of a buzzing sound if you don't put your fingers in exactly the right spot, it is very unforgiving. But that's a good thing, because it motivates me to strive for perfection. Full bodied mahagony top, sounds badass as hell. Steel strings.

It's four feet away from me on it's stand and no I will not get rid of it...

my first guitar that i possessed was some peavy wackjob rental that played like shit. The first guitar that i bought was an Ibanez rg370dx, which i still have. I dont think i'll ever get rid of it just because it is my true firstborn.

I named it pussy.

__________________

i love that guitar!

rg370dx is sweet, cant wait to get mine...if i get it

get it, its definately worth the 300-500$... i got mine for $399, and it was definately a huge deal. I bet the binding, custom inlays and whammy bar alone are worth that.

I havent found another guitar in that price range that has such a nice feel --i need thin necks so gibsons and stuff are out of the question... fucking small hands.

The only thing that i found came close is a Jackson Warrior... i dont konw which one, but it was like $800.

__________________

wow, you got a really good deal
its like £250 over here!
o well, still worth it
the bindings the inlay and the whammy bar are good features for the price



same ere, i hate gibsons and epi's and guitars like that because 1.) theyre ugly 2.) fat necks 3.) small frets
well theyre generally like that

i love super THIN necks, the wizard necks are perfect for me. i have massive hands but i love thin necks

btw, im not too fond of jacksons, only the customs and the high ranged ones are good

my first guitar was a peavey raptor.
bought for £80. and at that price its a fucking beauty.
now i have 2 ibanez, (rg550, rg1720) and a gibson sg (proper one) im getting more soon.

since i bought it, i have taken it apart, painted it with gloss paint, drawn with permanent marker all over it, ripped the electronics out so i could see what was going on, and grown up.

its currently by my bedside, with its guts all hanging out,
I would never sell it, even if i could get £500 for it. (its not worth£10)
£501, now thats different. make me an offer.

I don't think i will ever sell this one, emotionally attached...

My first guitar was this Ibanez GSA60.
http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dba...s/51/519536.jpg
I liked it at the time until I bought my Epiphone Goth V... then I sold it for 150$ to my buddy's brother.

My first guitar is this random custom brand i bought 2nd hand with a peavy 30w amp and lead n shit for $200. I was stoked, nice lookin, nice to play, sounds pretty good. Has a humbucker and 2 singles, and a floyd rose bridge. Still got it, and never gonna get rid of it, when i get a new one (hopefully soon) its gonna go up on the wall.
I want to find a cheap 2nd hand strat, or the PRS santana that i saw looked pretty good for its price, someone mentioned one in this thread.

My first guitar was some like $50 kids electric which i had wen i was like 5 lol, i never played it tho, never learnt. Im not sure where that went, i think we mighta given it to a charity or somethin with a bunch of other crap. I have a little 3/4 acoustic which was my moms, its pretty shagged now but, bridge tore clean off it the night i put steel strings on guess it wanted nylons.
Now i have a pretty crappy sonic acoustic, but i can manage.

My first guitar was the worst guitar you can ever get. It was a Yamaha set, with a cheap 10 watt amp. Ever since I bought my new Ibanez rg series I let the old one rot somewhere in a cupboard collecting dust.

My first was a CSL Deluxe, basically an Ibanez, Gibson Les Paul studio copy.
Right now, its in a case and a tool box as I'm "restoring" it to a nicer condition.
The pickups are custom built and sound very very good. But, the tuners and bridge are pretty much at the end of their life so they'll need replacing.

My 1st Guitar was an acoustic Ural (did you ever heard it )

my first was a vintage strat copy, sunburst, it was a pile of shit. I destroyed it because I wanted to see what was inside of a guitar haha.

can't remember if I posted here yet.

My first 'real' guitar was a mexician fender strat. Quickly upgraded the bridge PU to a SD hotrail, still plays like a dream.

My first guitar was a Red Fender Squier Strat nothing special cost me £50 i will keep it always. It's abit battered a few dents and scrathches but i'm keeping it no matter how many more guitars i get.

my first was a shitty epip jr. i sold it.

My first guitar was a very cheap Jay Turser Jaguar copy with a humbucker. Everything was cheap, the guitar sounded ok for certain sounds. Otherwise a piece of crap - I have no sentimental attachment to it.

Mine was a Yamaha erg121.. still have it.

my first guitar was some acoustic from the swap meet, bought it for $40. i didn't have to think twice about trashing it too, it totally fucked my fingers up and the action was way fucked up. i had a special moment with it though before i used it for bon fire wood.

Is'nt this an old thread?

my firsr guitar was my flying-v, it's fuckin sweet! i still use it usually but right now my pickups are jacked up pretty bad

lets see...... my first was a yamaha strat nock-off.... i sold it for like 50 bucks haha

yea, tru, i dont really like "grave diggers", but i guess its better than people making the same threads again

my first guitar is lying in pieces under my bed. And I could care less about it. It was an "audition", it had some wierd metal pickup, and sounded like a monkey farting in a can. But now I have my LTD 7-string ,and I'm about to get a used Ibanez for 125$

__________________

I think parts of my first guitar may be in a mate's shed. The components are in a box with other guitar bits in my bedroom. It was just some Strat knock-off and no great loss. It's been many, many years since I've seen it.

this is my first guitar..

its my dad's, he designed it himself, and had a guy build it custom, that same guy is now building me a custom axe

My first guitar was a crappy Aria sunburst strat. I customised it with a new pickguard and a SD JB humbucker int he bridge, but I took it out when I bought my new guitar. I still have it, It lies in the corner, without PU's and strings, but someday I might buy a Invader or something and play it again, even tough it's still a crappy guitar with a warped neck.
I would not even bother selling it, it was sooo cheap..

I had a harmony strat knockoff. I bought off some punk geek.

Hails, Mi first guitar was an acoustic guitar i think that the mark was gilb or somthing like that. But now for me it's a treasure.

__________________

yeah first i had this offbrand deal called "rocket" the head was sweet wasntr a bad guitar playing wise , it had some gay bridge ( the ones u would usually see on a fender strat) and i cant remember the pcikups i wasnt into guitar enough to notice ,and never came out of tune cost 100 bucks.
then i bought an ltd m-10 i thought i was in heaven rofl after that i loved ltd stuff then i bougt ibanez rg350exbk and ie been playing that for liek 8 months and ive never played anything better when i play gisons they feel liek crap same with ltds now mostly what ill play is jackson adn that ibanez
http://www.ibanez.com/guitars/guita...del=RG350EX&z=y
and im on my way to a jackson dxmg

My first guitar was a Kay strat style copy. It was 70's brown sunburst with one of those old bigsby style trems that looked like car suspension. The neck was nice to play but the pick-ups were these strange sardine tin looking things and I had a cheap amp so it sounded like whales farting in a sea of manure! I didn't mind as it was cheap, I learnt my first Sabbath, AC/DC and Maiden stuff on it. About 6 months later I upgraded to a Hondo SG copy and a Marshall 15 watt then after that I went on to several Les Paul/SG copys, Yamaha RGZ and RGX, a Hohner flying V and Jackson RR.

__________________

Mine was a Epiphone Les Paul Special. It was ok i guess for a beginner although the wood was shit.

It was some cheapass M7 warlock...the electronics broke within a month, and i didnt play guitar properly til i got my ESP ltd Ex-351, a year later.
those wasted months....

ive still got my kay sg lol

Samick Strat copy. Didnt wanna lose it, threw in 2 Dimarzios and a SD Hot Rails, changed the pickguard and tuners, fixed up action/truss.

It's my current main guitar since my jackson's out of commission for a bit (getting it set up). It's reeaaaalll nice.

Plays nicely but it needs stronger pickups. I played a lefty Ibanez RG570 and some bits I preferred my Yamaha to. I was thinking of dropping a Bare Knuckle Warpig into the bridge. Either at Christmas or in March my second comes: Schecter C-7 Blackjack lefty cometh.
