First guitar was a 2-string nylon acoustic that I played for 6 months before realizing that 6 strings might be better than 2. Oh well, I learned all of Green Day Dookie on those 2 strings!

First electric was a Tempo that I bought from the classifieds. L&M appraised it at a stellar $75, but I'm looking for a 2nd opinion...

My first was a used cherry-red "FENDER Squire Bullet" that I got for $180. I never had a teacher on guitar, I was self-taught. But I did go to Jazz College, so do those teachers count? - Sat, 8 Jan 2005 2:22am

First guitar was a 1987 Japanese Strat, still got it kicking around...Mr. Dire Strait himself is my guitar teacher, which explains my affinity for playing Mark Knopfler tunes haha... - Sat, 8 Jan 2005 11:29am

I learned how to play both bass and guitar on my brothers sunburst squire bullet (not strat style - two switchable humbuckers). I then got an Epiphone Accu-bass Jr (p clone) and used an old stereo with some jbl studio monitors as a bass amp. My first guitar was a Yamaki Acoustic i got many years later, and my first electric was a MIM Fender Telecaster. - Sat, 8 Jan 2005 11:39am

First purchased guitar was a black mid-90s-something SG. Sounds neat, but is a bitch to play (top heavy) and a sucker for stable tuning. I still own it, but I've loaned it away for a time.

Bought a US Strat-plus with locking tuners and I will probably not own another guitar unless someone wants to give me a Musicman or a PRS.

I love guitars but now that i've found a comfy and stable machine, no further need exists for me in that department. - Sun, 9 Jan 2005 12:31am
