Really cheap Les Paul knockoff made by Global out of China circa 1980.

Fender DG-7

Played the old DG7 for a few years, and then moved on to a Guild DV-52NT.

I've also owned the following:

Martin HD-28
Taylor 512ce
Martin 000-15
Blueridge something
Guild GAD something

Now I have an 80's Japanese Greco knockoff version of a Gibson ES-335, and a Córdoba classical, solid rosewood b/s with cedar top.

My holy grail would be a vintage Guild Starfire (Westerly) or Gibson L5.

Some piece of shite that was given to me when I was 10

Had 3 different types of strings on it

But that's what I learned on. It's destroyed now unfortunately. My first electric was a cheap Ibanez. I still have that. I will likely save that and fix it up for one of my nephews when they get older.

An old Alvarez acoustic, probably one of their cheapest ones. It's still on my rack, just don't know the model, but I got it around '93ish. It's pretty much my ski house/camping beater guitar these days.

It was a Hondo"Little Suzy". I don't guess Hondo is even still in business,but that was a pretty good guitar.

a squire strat. I think my brother has it.
Also a cheap Yamaha that I can't remember the name of.

Have now upgraded to a Gibson Les Paul that I'm in love with.

I learned on something very similar, an Alvarez classical guitar.

Franken-strat that I put together myself in 1983. 25th Anniversary Strat body, Schecter solid maple neck, Floyd Rose-style tremelo, Fender pickups that were pre-wired in a pickguard. Added new pots, machine tuners, nut and switch. Bought it all in pieces and assembled it on my parents patio. Still plays like a champ, wouldn't part with it for the world.

Some POS Peavey Electric.
Then I bumped up to a Gibson SG
Now I have a Fender P Bass

The first doesn't even compare to numbers 2 and 3. It may as well have been a cigar box with a hole.

My first was a 1969 red Stella Harmony. I gave it to a college girlfriend when I upgraded to an Alvarez.


My first was a Harmony Rocket, two pickup hollow body. Probably got it in 1969, ordered it new from the Montgomery Ward catalog. Traded it for a acoustic guitar a few years later. Actually know who has the Harmony today, but the SOB will not sell it back to me.
