Your First Guitar/Instrument
 

What was your first guitar or instrument or set or whatever!

Mine was my Fender Stratocaster... got it a month ago... I love it.... amazing guitar!

Ibanez g-10 bass

I got a Yamaha acoustic guitar when I was about 10. I didn't like it and it was huge (I was only 10). I kept it anyways and really started to enjoy it about 10 years after I got it.

I got a Fender Strat (American) when I was about 12 back in '86. I still have that guitar as well. I got a Takamina Electric Acoustic about 3 years ago. Man that guitar is easy to fret for being an acoustic.

my first instrument was a recorder in 3rd grade. then i started playing alto sax in 5th, bassoon in 6-7th, clarinet in 8-9th, tenor sax in 9th, barry sax in 10th, crappy begginer acoustic guitar at 18, got my crappy electric a couple years later, bass guitar a few years ago. i think i'm gonna actually buy a tenor sax in a month or two and join a jazz band. blah, i hate music.

The Recorder! What a horrible instrument! I mean, c'mon, it's fucking plastic. Oh I'm glad I'm not back in grade school listening to 40 kids try to all play a song together on those things!

After that I moved on the Trombone(r). Now I just play the guitar. And, if I may say so myself, I play it very badly.

And I once taught myself to play piano.

My First guitar was an ovation back when i was 13.

my 1st guitar was and deville stratacaster copy it was ok

You guys got Strats as your first guitars!!!!...bastards.

I built my first electric...my first guitar was an "ANJO" acoustic when i was 10....i wish i still had it,it was real loud.

Now that i can do good setups i would love to have my "shitty" guitars back!

My first instrument was a flute. Played that fucker for 7 years. Then I got a guitar 5 years ago. Never actually played it, but just messed around. I just recently bought a grand piano and I'm having a good time with that.

My first bass was a lime green Series A bass. I still use it on occasion for the odd bit of punk I play every now and then.

i played recorder. then the violin.

my first instrument was a trombone, 4th through 6th grade. my first guitar was a yamaha acoustic i bought... a month ago. i'm having fun learning ;)

my first instrument was a dinky little toy piano when I was like 5. My first guitar sucked beyond comprehension. I own significantly better equipment now though.

Recorder, From about Grade two. Still have it, enjoy pulling it out every so often to piss people off :)

squirer pbass standard 3 tone sunburst ... now i have a warwick.... big change dont u think???

Crappy black les paul knockoff with action you could drive a truck under

epiphone acoustic bargain buy from guitar ctr. pretty much a piece of crap, but it got me up & running!

huh. my first instrument was a lil 3/4 size violin. then i moved to a full size. then i bought a real nice 1400 violin that came close to 3000 including case and bow... and it's sitting in the closet :( i've also gotten a harmonica, recorder, ukelele, and washburn d10 acoustic. i want a nylon string classical guitar but just don't know how often i'd ever pick it up..

a $125 red Westone electric

i still play it to this day (among my newer guitars, of course!)

My first instrument was my mom's old Silvertone classical guitar. Yeah the Sear's brand guitars. Really easy to learn on classical guitars because they don't hurt your fingers at all. Then I got my first electric, a Washburn Lyon series strat-copy, about a year later. Then got my Yamaha Pacifica 912J probably a year and half after that and I've played that one almost exclusively for about 6+ years since then. And I also got a Takamine A/E for my 18th birthday, that's a nice sounding guitar, too bad I don't play it that much. Electric is just more fun for me.

My first instrument was a trombone back in 5th grade, didn't last long. Last summer I got a Hamer EchoTone Hollowbody, in cherry red, it was fuckin beautiful. Also picked up a Fender Hot Rod deluxe amp along with, I loved the way it sounded. Sadly, I don't know how to play guitar at all, am tone deaf, and can't read music. So, on top of all that, I couldn't make rent last fall, and I had to pawn both the amp and guitar. *Shed tear* BUT! My girlfriend's brother said he might hook me a up with a bass guitar for free, and give me some technique books too! So, hopefully, I'll be able ot learn on that for a little while before he wants it back, if at all :).

My first instrument was a rented squier p-bass... Now I've got a beauty of a Fender Jazz bass, but I'm not that good.

My first guitar was a classical, and personally I thought it was a pain in the ass to learn on. The strings were not only very far apart, they were also really high off the fretboard. Then I went to the opposite extreme. My brother loaned me a mini electric that was like 2 feet long.

First guitar was a Kay acoustic, then came a Fender Mustang. I don't have either anymore, and guess which one I wish I still had?

Started with French Horn, dropped that when i went into high school, now i have a Ibanez GSR200 Bass in Metallic Blue - the best thing ever!

Cameo electric guitar, 100 bucks at a pawn shop and i still have it

Samick bass guitar

Guitar. Jackson/Charvel. It works for me. =)

Black Squire II Fender. Mexican year. piece of crap too. Was glad to move on to an Ibanez Eargodyne, jule blue. Great sound.

My first guitar was actually my brother's POS plywood fender acoustic. It did it's job, but going back, it sure was a pos

i think so :D

dont forget the specter.. poor little guy

i play an Ibanez SDGR bass..

My first guitar was a Fender Stratocaster 68' reissue. These were made in Japan and are truly fine instruments. Mine has a natural finish on ash body, and a maple/maple neck and it simply feels amazing. I'm gonna drop a Duncan Custom Custom in bridge position and then it'll be my main axe :-)

My first guitar was a red Vantage "fake-strat", which I got when I was 12. Funny enough had a real sweet humbucker for the bridge pickup. Cheap as hell guitar though, body was made of plywood! :P Played that for a couple years before I had saved enough money for my first "real" guitar, a 1985 US Fender Strat. Quite a difference.... still play the Strat as my main axe now, unaltered since then except for the gk2a hex pickup I installed so I could use it with my synth and vg-8 systems.

Cort GB-34 bass.

Because bass is the monkey's guitar.
