Your first guitar and your favorite guitar

Not my pics, BTW:

Favorite:



I still have a 1960's Gibson Classical with a Kalamazoo sticker in the sound hole.

Sounds like honey...

Crappy, generic Sears guitar my Mom brought home from a Pawn shop.

My friend and I Frankensteined this POS the best we could, but it was still a piece of crap if you were into Metal...

---

A friend of mine has one almost just like that, made by a Japanese company named Tiesco or something like that.
My first guitar came from Sear's too. My parents bought it because was pretty, they didn't know any better. It was a piece of junk but it was pretty.
My favorite guitar is quickly becoming this Epiphone Masterbuilt Frontier that I've had about 6 months. This guitar gets better every day.

Favorite: 1982 reissue of the '52 blackguard Telecaster.

First guitar: Roy Clark TV special acoustic
Favorite guitar (for now): Harley Benton 12-string electric

Been enjoying this one lately, but I like all the ones I have for different purposes.

First guitar was given to me by my uncle - a 1965 Gibson LG-0 flattop (center in this pic)



First one I bought (or my parents bought me when I was in 8th grade) was my 1981 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty…



Favorite is my most recent - my 2018 Jackson Mick Thomson Soloist (center in this pic)…

When I was in about the 7th or 8th grade my brother bought a Fender Squier. I started learning on that. I saved some money and bought my first guitar not long after. It was a fairly cheap Jackson Dinky. Wish I still had it but I eventually sold it to upgrade. I then bought an ESP LTD MH-100. If I remember correctly it was about $400 at the time.

That MH-100 is still my favorite guitar. I had a couple of others including a Takamine GX-100 and an Ibanez Gio. Both were given to me. Those were unfortunately irreparably damaged in a flood along with a lot of my other gear.

About a year ago I decided it was time to start playing again after about a decade of not playing much. Other than occasionally picking up my Yamaha acoustic that I’ve also had since high school. So I upgraded the humbuckers on the MH-100 and rewired the whole guitar. Found a used Marshall amp online. Strung it up and started jamming again.



I’ve been consistently playing again. So I think it may be time to start looking for a couple more. I should have enough room on the wall for 2 or 3 more.

First: (used) Guild D-35, circa 1980 vintage

Favorite: 2004 50th Anniversary Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster

1st: Some $100 Fender acoustic
Fav: My 1997 Guild F47RCE made in Westerly, RI before Fender moved production to Cali and screwed up the brand. I occasionally take it to someone for repairs and just about every luthier that has worked on it has offered to buy it from me. I know one guy bought one off ebay because he liked mine so much.
