I remember when Sam Goody carried guitars.
They had a black hondo strat copy I always wanted.
"Santa" never left one for me.
Now I have 6 strats.
hahaha
My first guitar was a black Hondo Strat copy. I sold it when I was in high school but I got it back about 5 years ago and fixed it up. :)
My first is my grandfather's 1930 Martin acoustic. Had to put nylon strings on so I could fret. Learned folk music in 1959 and enjoyed group sings and high altitude adventures since. Love watching a young at heart guy enjoy his collection. You enhance my life.
Dig it...
Takes me back to 1978...and a black Memphis Les Paul copy...probably the worst built guitar in history...but it was mine.
Ended up destroying it by putting smoke bombs in the neck pickup cavity and pretending I was Ace Frehley.
holy hell hahahaha 😂
Cerebral Nomad it went out in style!
What a legend you are 🤘🏻😂
Just, so much enjoy hearing the stories behind each of your Guitars! You do a great job of sharing your passion for each of your Stringed Memories!
Your first guitar is always a very special thing. I'm so glad I still have mine - a Takamine acoustic in a crimson red sort of color that my mom bought for me in 10th grade after YEARS of wanting a guitar. I'll never get rid of it. I wish I treated it a little better though in high school, but at least I still have it and it still works! I gave it to a guy I knew so he could do some cosmetic repair and I almost didn't get it back!
This was an awesome video that sam goody in the mall here on staten island has so many metal memories this was amazing to hear especially since ive been a fan for sometime. thanks for sharing.
My first guitar was a squier strat I seen hanging in a pawn shop window. I begged my mom to get it for me. I was so excited, cuz back then I didn't no anything about guitars. And all I seen was Fender written on it. But I love that guitar. Still have have it 21yrs later!
Best vid yet, everyone loves to hear a back story regarding something and nice to know that with all the gear you have it's that you'd keep, keep it up dude
Thank you so much for sharing that special memory, great story.
Great video TTK. Thanks for letting us share a little bit of the ride with you! My first was a white Samick....I don't mind not having it anymore. :)
Thanks for sharing. My very first guitar was a copy of a flying v that my Mom gave me for a Christmas many years ago. This brought back good memories.
Thats cool. Mine was a Fender Black Strat w/Tele headstock factory too. & a Fender practice amp it was a transistor, Thank God for Tubes!!!. I wish I still had it. My 1st petal was a MXR Phase 90 because it sounded "cool" lol , I remembering drooling over The Sears Catalog @ that copy of an Explorer yea The One w/"Built in FX" lol I finally got to play one, & it was a Crap Gtr & the FX was like 8 bit. Doug Marks Taught me how to play in just two hrs!!! No Joke in less than two hrs I learned Barr Chords Maj. min. & Dom.7th's Tapping Hammer on's pull off's volume swells pick slides.... My friend who had been taking lessons for a YEAR still could play Freaked out when I came in & did The Boogie Woogie riff e.g. E-8x A-4 x's, and B-8x's, (i didn't know how to turnaround yet) I also learned 2nd pos. Pentatonic scale, a Trill, a little Tapping & ended w/a Pick Slide! LOL It was Rough but I knew it just needed a LOT of practice (I still do.) My friend ask HOW did you do That? I said it just came to me : I didn't tell him I had scored the Gtr & Amp & Lessons , Thx Doug Marks - I'll never forget the look on Danny's face :) Priceless Memories Thx Tone King for sharing the Guitar that started IT. REVIEW IT PLEASE!!!
I enjoyed watching this video about your first guitar. Thank you.
It reminded me of how much I have lost over the years... Fourteen guitars included
I will never ever sell not one of my guitars or amps I buy or have bought they all have a special meaning to me and will stay that way. im glad you kept yours.
Nice guitar, nice story, long story short I was playing a aria pro zzb custom bass and a westone pantara x750 bass, I took a drive with the drummer of my band to get some drum sticks and there on the wall was a BC Rich WARLOCK platinum series bass, plug it in, turned it up, loved it, told the guy to put a sold sign on it and gave him my drivers license told him I will be right back with the money, from that day its always bin my number one guitar.
That is very cool ! Mine was a black strat also and I sold it which makes me very sad.Glad you kept yours.
My first guitar was a black and white Fender Squier for my birthday, i cried like a baby when i was finally left alone with it..i was just so happy lol i said to my family if i snuff it bury me with that one, not my Jackson, not my B C Rich Deluxe etc but my Squier, it has too much sentimental value, said if i ever woke up down there i'll be happy then....nice first guitar matey, awesome.
nice story :) i still remember my own first guitar but its far gone ...but i still have my jackson dinky which i love the most and i wont sell it ever ...great vid King
That's awesome dude. I know exactly where you are coming from. My first was a Yahama G-65 from the 50s that my grandpa played and then my mother and was my first guitar. It's irreplacable. The first guitar I ever bought was an epiphone dot-eb. Those two guitars got that magic you know. Many hours spend just getting muscle memory in and over the curves and breaking barriers
Very cool video, T.K.K. The first one is always an extra special one!
My first guitar was a fairly battered second hand Washburn BT-2 maverick series in black,with 2 P90 pick ups, and I still play it all the time, no matter what, I just keep coming back to this battered old guitar which cost me £100, but to my ear sounds like something that costs way more than that. I learned pretty much everything I know on that guitar and it has never let me down, it is a real workhorse and while it is not in any way a fancy instrument, and while it lacks all the bells and whistles found on many guitars, I just love that old thing, nothing compares.
Peavey Wolfgang! Black with the stop tail given to me by my dad for my 14 birthday. Still have it and cherish it.
My first guitar was a black squire strat. Played the living shit out of it and then decided to sand all the black off, took four days by hand. Looks pretty damn good now and still love it to pieces. Worth absolutely nothing but tons of sentimental value :)
My Dad took me to a 2nd hand store and bought me a sg and a gorilla amp. Lots of love for those 3.
My first guitar was a Dean avalanche playmate start copy. I now have a schecter v-1 (hellraiser), epi G-310, a Washburn db100 and a classical which my great grandad gave to me.
First guitar was a Memphis Strat, sunburst w/ maple neck. It was beautiful. Bought it new at my cousin's music store back in 1980 for $199. Played many a Sabbath song on it. It was stolen in 1983. I played a Squier Strat after that. It had the two humbuckers and was bright red. Got hooked on Ibanez RG's and after 15 of those, I decided to build my own Strat like my original one. Something about sunburst strats and cherryburst Les Pauls. You just gotta have one!
It's great that you still have your first guitar. I still have my first electric guitar---a Framus Strat copy circa 1974-ish. Horrible really, but I loved it at the time. I was living in Germany and actual Fender Strats were very expensive. I used to go downtown to a music store and just look at a real Fender Strat kind of like a starving boy might look at bread through a bakery window. Those were the days of mystery and desire and dreams. Now I can buy any guitar I want which takes all the fun out it!
My first electric guitar I bought myself in 2010 after a bad car accident ruined my high school wrestling record, I had previously been a bass player (dad's a bassist and got me my first bass when I was 8) and while in rehab and laid up in a wheel chair I decided I wanted to learn to play a 6 string since it's smaller and would be easier while in the chair. I went to my local Sam Ash (40 mins from my house) and browsed around for an hour or so, was pretty dead set on getting a Fender Telecaster when I rolled it, but ended up leaving with a Jackson JS32RT Dinky in Gun Metal Gray and was absolutely ecstatic. Fast-forward to 2017 the guitar still sees light of day after all the upgrades I've made over the years (Graphtech Tusq nut, Schaller locking tuners, tone pro TOM bridge, and after various sets of pickups settled most recently on the Seymour Duncan Duality) and that thing is my main backup. It's been on 3 tours with me and will always stay as a spare!
I just noticed that the metal V piece on your guitar is like just a tailpiece and the ball end of your strings just catch the end on it. So unlike a copy type V or a guitar that's made to look like one from the 50's where the strings go thru the body an up our of the holes in that metal V tailpiece. Gibson did do this in the late 70's model Flying V II guitars that had a much smaller metal piece of Gold hardware that the ball end of the strings just went in there and then over the tune-o-matic bridge. The guitar also had those Boomerang shaped pickups that Bill Lawrence designed for Gibson/Norlin when he was working for them. In any event I like that guitar and man would I have paid the price for it like your parents did. Just a well made guitar that has no brand name on it. Man am I so glad you kept this and also in the condition you still have it at.
Lou, that's a great guitar. I love Flying V's between those and an Explorer and the Gibson Moderne. Those 3 guitars are infamous or shapes as they came out in 1958. However the Flying "V" God I had wanted one of those for years and years. I finally got one in 1978. It's very much like the reissue that Gibson did back in early 1970 like the one that had the Gold Coin in the upper cut of the "V" where it had it's "Serial Number" for those guitars. You have one that is a combo of that model and one from the 58 or 59 that has the V metal piece and the strings go thru the body. What a cool looking guitar.
So heck yeah, I am so glad you shared that story and you showed us that guitar. Dude that one is without a doubt a player for sure especially after all of the upgrades. Very much a keeper for sure. I'm going to have to dig out my Gibson White Flying V from the mid 80's that is a designer series it's an all White finish with an artist's signature of SS and he did 50 guitars for Gibson 25 Red Splash Flying V's and 25 Blue Splash Explorer's. I have 1 of each and they both came fitted with the then NEW Gibson Super Tuner Locking Virbrola's systems on them. The V's came with Chrome Hardware and the Explorer came with Gold Hardware. This is WAY COOL....there will be color pictures and blood. LOL!!!
I got a an old fender starcaster acoustic, fettled with it and got it nice. I still use it 2 years later, I'm developing into a good acoustic guitar player.
My first guitar was an Yamaha RGX 112. It was well played and abused. I now have Ww guitars and one is an Yamaha RGZ612 as a reminder of were I came from since I'm all Steinberger, Les Paul and the others these day! They all bring me the same joy.
Ww is 22
Very Cool thanks for sharing !
Liked that: "the most meaningful guitar". I have two, a 1970 Global LP project that is perpetually undone and a 2011 Fender Squier with pickup tones that twenty other guitars costing considerably more haven't been able to match (some have come close, some are Squiers too).
The Global got me into repairing/building guitars, the Fender into playing. Always wanted to be that 15yo kid getting a guitar, but didn't get the first one until 40's.
I don't have the first guitar I ever got as it was a complete piece of crap however I do still have the first guitar I ever bought myself. It's an old black Ibanez RG 320 that's beat to hell. It needs a new bridge and tuners but still has the EMG set I put in it years ago. Still sounds great and plays great and I'll never let it go!! Nice job TTK
Awesome stuff man, that is a sweet guitar. Haha it's nice to see a guy with so much sweet gear, that appreciates his roots. My first guitar was a Fender Squire Affinity when I was 12 and i still have it to this day. Guys at my local shop love to rip on me because I still bust it out and jam with it every now and again. I've sold and traded so man since then but my baby will stay with me until my kids take it off my hands.
Thank you so much for sharing. Very touching story. 🙂
Very cool you kept your first axe! One of our local malls back in the 80's had guitars hanging in a record store too. Not exactly sure, but I think the brand was Arbor. I still have my first electric as well.... SG copy I bought from a buddy for 10 bucks. lol
My first guitar was a Peavey Raptor plus exp in hot rod red. Still play it today its mint. Walked in to the music shop and there it was as soon as I saw it , every other guitar around me faded into background, it was like an imediate connection between me and the instrument I knew I had to have it right there and then I had my brithday money. And went with my dad spent £ 110 on the guitar, cable , strap, marshall mg10 amplifier and 6 picks.. guy gave us a good deal.
My first guitar I bought was an ESP M-2. Back in the late 1980's.The original owner put demarzio super distortion pick ups for the bridge. The same guy was selling a Les Paul Studio. White with an ebony fret board for $250 around the same time.I wish he could've waited a week for me to buy it from him. That Les Paul studio would have been my first guitar. I was 18 and didn't have a real job. My last guitar I bought was a gibson SGJ.
My first guitar was a white (like Hendrix!) strat copy by Encore, when I was 13. It played well, didn't sound too bad, and the bug bit. I went through a few guitars (Westone Thunder, Epiphone Flying V) before I got a Charvel 275 which became my main guitar for nearly a decade until it broke and I got my first Ibanez.
My first guitar was a Series A Tele knockoff. I still have it and I use it for just sitting by the computer strumming and working out new stuff. It has no pickups or electronics in it anymore. The stock single coils were junk. I got this guitar in 1982
That is how i feel about the Ibanez RG760 My father bought me. Im still searching for that guitar or its brother.. thanks for sharing
Cool first guitar. Mine was a strat-model for one day, then flipped it for an LP-type with three humbuckers. Still wish I had that one.
I know this is an older video but wow, that really brings back memories. I love hearing how you got it. Mine was an all-black strat copy for 99$. I got it from Shopko. This was back in 1986. I was 15 years old. I sold it for a better model that same year. I wish i would have kept it like you kept yours. Unfortunately, i lost the guitars i had in my divorce. It's taken a bit, but ive been able to create a new "mini" collection. I'm mostly into ESP and Ibanez although i do have other brands.
My first guitar was a 81 harmony my dad got me for my 16th birthday. He ordered it out of the Montgomery wards catalog. what a piece of junk it was, lol, but I wish I had it today go figure. Great story Mr. King , I enjoyed it.
My 1st was 6-string a Silvertone from Sears in 74(I was 13) Used it as a build -experimental guitar because I learned after a yr Bass was a lot easier for me So a Musicman Bass like in 76 I believe. Started playing in bands in late 80s up to 2000 .had to always trade up so only bass i have left is a Hohner 1pc 4-string active. Always wanted a V because of Kiss alive lp photo lol..Great channel. Use it to teach my youngest 14...
Well said TK, it beats my SEARS Les Paul copy. Great story. I don't think there's any many better feelings than opening that first guitar. I have since been lucky enough to own a few Am Strats and a couple Gibson's, but that first guitar... yeah that was magical. Great story.
Before I got my first guitar, I started out playing games like Guitar Hero. Was in love with the game and was great at it, playing expert and just dominating at the game. Just loved the guitar so much, that my parents ended up buying cheap used Starcasters and a 15W practice amp for my brother and I (his black, mine red) for Christmas. He never really kept playing, but I stuck with it, and have been building up my collection. Still have the same guitar, as well as two ESP's (one, which I got for Christmas since my parents saw how much I loved guitar, and how my current one wasn't that great, and the second I bought myself).
A proper esp or was it one of the ltds. Both are great guitars
@JYZProductions
geez give the dude a break , he's just a guitar geek , hobbyist , enthusiast , collector etc.
My first electric guitar that my mother when I was in Junior High is the 1960s Teisco Del Ray ET-220. I hardly played it because it needs a tremolo that was hard to find until I got lucky one day that I was able to get the original tremolo parts that I needed from Ebay. I am hoping this year that I will be fixing the frets, get the pickups waxed potted by Seymour Duncan and install the tremolo parts. This is a keeper and this is the first vintage guitar that I own. Peace, Flood!
Thank you. I still have my first guitar - a white '85 (probably) Kramer Beretta. It's got the floyd. It's left handed and I'm never selling it.
It is a Hondo Flying V, Japanese. I had one, white. Got it for Christmas 1984. My first guitar was a Kay (I think) es335 copy, 3/4 size.
Great story!
My first guitar came out of the Sears Catalog. It was red, it had one humbucker pickup, and a speaker built in powered by a 9 volt battery. Body style was similiar to a Charvel. It fell apart a couple years later, or I'd still have it.
awesome man freaking awesome!
THanks Jason!
Thanks for sharing! My first was a piece of junk Memphis, that was pretty much unplayable. Soon after that I got my first "real" guitar a red 1980 Ibanez Destroyer 'll, just like Adrian Smith's in Run to the Hills video. I got in 1983 and still have it. I just used it the other day and it's still the best sounding guitar I have! I'll never get rid of it!
My first guitar was a squire strat, I've been playing about a year and since then i've aquired an epiphone Les paul and and I still play the strat often! now all I need is a guitar with P90's and I'll call it good!
very cool!
Man that's a really cool guitar! Thanks for sharing :) I love stories like this \m/
haha, cool! Glad you dig it!
***** I bet you could get endorsed by Hondo Guitars & Black-Diamond Strings. Just Kidding , but seriously have you Ever tried to play those THINGS made from Barbed Wire they sold as Strings? worst strings ever. Hey TK do you know the scoop on Guitar stings I've heard some say that there's only a few string factories that package for NAME Brands. I know this is true to an extent but i've never have found out just who makes their OWN strings & who don't that would be Nice to know I've been playing Dean Markley for since the 1st pack I've tried others D Addario seems to be a Good string , while Fender & Gibson must have Black Diamond make their Stings, cause they are Terrible, never understood that but @ least years ago Fender & Gibson broke would not stay in tune. But Dean Markley's takes a Whammy & stays in tune. Could you do story on Strings sometime? Thx

My first guitar was a Epiphone Zakk Wylde Camo, I got a few years ago (I'm only 15) and I use it the most, I take it to school, to my uncles, its been many places
Killer guitar!!!
I have a V to. Man they sure look epic.
Great story TK. I have kept several things that belonged to my parents that are now with the Lord and I will pass them on to my children. Dad collected guns and coins which got me into stamp collecting which I haven't dabbled in for 20 yrs now. Might have to update my USA collection :-)
Dude! That is EXACTLY like my second guitar! I'm in the middle of a complete rebuild on it.
Bought my first guitar at Sam Goody too, in Crabtree Mall in Raleigh NC. Although, I lived in Staten Island for 20 years.
Mr tone. U have awesome gear. I would like to know how u record your music. Interface/daw/mic? Thanks. I have a home studio and would like to know how record. Ur videos are awesome even for a seasoned guitar player.
my first guitar was a samick strat, not the best guitar and originally was my brothers but it got me interested in making music. roughly 14 years later i have an ibanez RG and have written well over 100 songs and broadened my talent to bass and drums and everything else i can get my hands on.
My first guitar was a dean vx. My brother gave it to me on my 12th birthday. I love that guitar. I have two now. My new guitar is an esp 2011 explorer my dad got me for $99 used.
my first was a fender 1969 tele with (modded) with humbuckers in the bridge and neck.
My 18th Birthday, 2012, I was into guitars for a long time but i never really had one of my own, I was into the whole double cut away body like on a stratocaster and was about to buy an ATX Guitar for 100 bucks when i saw an 1997 Epiphone Les Paul 100 model guitar in a local music store, i picked it up and played it for a few min, a week later my Dad, (who has never liked metal), bought me this guitar for 200 bucks, its a
Heritage Cherry Sunburst and it had stock Epiphone Humbuckers that i later put GFS FAT PAT's in and then later threw the Active EMG KFK set in, i have since changed the original pots, tuners, and replaced the bridge with the Gibson counterparts, this guitar despite the money i threw into it has never once dissapointed me, i have bought more guitars at cheap prices and sold them and even bought an Ibanez S series guitar which i love playing, but the connection i have with my Epi LP 100 is different.
Nice one tone king. I still have my no name strat I got for £60 back in 07, I stuck a cheap humbucker in it recently and re-wired and re-finished it. Still plays like arse but it sounds good for punk rock stuff.
My first guitar was an ibanez rg350mp I put dimarzio evolutions in it. Sounded amazing but now I have a jem 777v
Technically, my first guitar was the classic Yamaha student grade nylon string I took my first lessons on, but for me it's really the 1966 or 1967 (information seems to vary) MIJ Fender Stratocaster reissue that my parents bought me for Christmas, 1989, when I was in sixth grade.
The deal was this: if I stuck with guitar lessons for a year and showed at least a little bit of potential in terms of making it a long term thing, my folks would get me an electric. I had flirted with some of the off-brands I saw in the Sears catalog, which my parents actually steered me away from, but I ultimately said I wanted a Strat because my teacher's Stratocaster was the first electric guitar I ever played.
My parents talked to my teacher about it, and he went out and scouted the shops for them, finding the white Strat in a shop about 20 minutes from where we lived at the time. For my mother it was a done deal, but she wasn't sure my father would go along. Still, they went to the shop to check it out. My mom told me that the second my dad (a solid Stones fan growing up) saw it, he was all in. The shop threw in a used Squier 15 practice amp, which I blew up a year or two later. Every once in a while, I check eBay to see if one's for sale.
That Strat is still the guitar I pick up 90% of the time when I'm looking to play. It's had a number of different pickups in it and the wiring and some of the hardware has been replaced, but all the memories that have with it can't be modified. And I wouldn't want to. :)
My first was a stagg acoustic, my first electric was a Gibson Les Paul standard in m dinghy manhattan blue.
Dad had a pretty decent dreadnought Alvarez that I pretty much took over, but MY 1st guitar was a Danelectro singlecut with lipstick pickups, that I thought did metal just fine. lolol. I wish I had that thing back. Your 1st guitar was fucking awesome. Cool story man
I started out right - my first guitar was a 1986 Gibson SG Standard I bought from an Air Force buddy for $500. This was in 1987. I figured, this is gonna be hard to learn how to play, so I'll be more likely to stick to it if I have a good guitar! I didn't even know the strings were of different thicknesses... hahaha I had literally NO knowledge about guitar at all, I just knew I loved music more than anything.
My first was a peavey t40 bass. My cousin had it new in about 78 or 79. In. 80 he pawned it and his mom kept paying intrest only thinking he would eventually go down and get it. So around fall of 85 I went into the pawn shop and asked to see it and they brought it out it was all dusty and the strings were trashed. But I loved it. So that Christmas my grandma went down paid it off and gave it to me. I loved it. Played it constantly. I had always had a thing for bc rich's infact the same cousin in about 78 we were looking at a magazine and there was an add for a bich. He pointed and said that there a "rich bich" is the best guitar in the world. I never forgot that statement. So in jan 87 red nj bich showed up at the same pawn shop who had my bass for so many years. I diched School and was standing at the door when he opened I went in with every bit of cash I could find but I was 50$ short. So I tryed to work him down I showed him every scratch and nick and befor I got too far he jerked it out of my hands and said sorry the guitar is not for sale. You will never be happy with it. And set it back in the window. I turned to my buddy and said man I need 50$ could you please help me. So we went to his bank got the $ and went back and I bought it. I loved em both so much I played them all the time. Unfortunately I got really broke in my 20's and sold them both. The bc rich I have replaced with a better one but the t40 I have not. Who knows maybe one day I Will have a t40
My first guitar was an Alvarez classical guitar that used to belong to my uncle in the 70s. The bridge has pulled up over the years, ripping a substantial hole in the top of the guitar, rendering it unplayable. I'll still never get rid of it though. My second was a 15 dollar Squier Strat with a neck bowed more than a banana. It gave me an irrational hatred for all Stratocasters for years until I finally bought a decent Mexican one last year. Now I want more...
Very cool sentimental vid . My first was a Dean Baby Z. Truly awful I'm afraid. The e string would continually break, the pickup switch snapped and I had to re-pin, the bridge pickup would unscrew itself & fall into the body. I sold it in 2002 to a friend for about £90. Within a month, one of the tuners snapped off and it I think he sold it on. After that I got an Ibanez RG7321, which I still have. That will not go and I should probably give it a bit of a clean & care session soon. Partly the reason I've become more comfortable playing 7 strings instead of a 6.
My very first guitar was a Samick superstrat. I was playing with a les paul copy that i borrowed from a friend, and one day (my 13th birthday, i think) my dad took me to a music store to buy a guitar. So, since i am a huge Metallica fan, i looked into what looked more like Hammett's guitar, and that superstrat with humbuckers and floyd rose got my attention, i still have it, to this day, and i still play it, on a regular basis. And that was.. 20 years ago. almost. :)
Samick once made the Most Guitars On The Earth. They still Might ? Yea I had two Music Store owners tell me that. I had a 24 chn Samick mixing board our bands 1st board w/PA speakers & forgot the Power amp it took us a Minuit to figure that out we Need a Power Amp lol , I had almost forgot about Samick nice guitars.
my first guitar was a squire start... a beginners guitar in ever sense of the word but it got me through for the longest time.. it has the best sunburst i have ever seen in my life but god this thing cannot stay in tune for the life of it and it plays like crap but its still my first guitar and i love it dearly
My first guitar is an ibanez gio, not sure the exact model, got it for 100 bucks at richies music shop in rockaway nj (also got my first drum kit there) I love that guitar, I still play it alot, I have an ibanez rg450dx and I play both just as much, It's got a ton of scratches on it from the years, I've had baritone strings on it to tune low, I recently put normal strings on it, that thing stays in tune so well, I'm getting emotional just talking about it.
What brand is it?
My first guitar was a acoustic which i still have and its by a brand called Oakman, would never sell it! First electric was a Bc Rich Warlock M7!
My first guitar was an Epiphone Sg ! Natural brown finish !! Sick Videos! Gave you a shout out in mine ! :D
I still have my first (electric) guitar it's an ibanez grg140 and I'm really enjoying it! It I thought it was good value for money (£149) and felt better than the squier guitars I played
I was getting some real deja vu! My first was an epiphone flying v black with all black hardware. I too had an invader and then EMGs! I resprayed it redburst myself (Badly), now it has pride place on my wall. It never gets played anymore but after watching this i think i'll pick her up again...
it's really tempting to sell my first axe to put money towards a new one but i'll always know that i'll be in this position glad i kept it all along.
My first axe was an Ibanez lawsuit pl 2660...I'm something like the fourth owner...its all dinged and scratched but still plays like a charm. I will never part with it.
All the pickups you had in the guitar are the exact same pickups I wanted in my first guitar.
I really wanted to have such a guitar as my first (a Bc Rich Speed V in Snow White) and I loved it the first time I picked it up. But my dad wouldn't let me and instead bought me a Vester Stage Series which was half the price. Now I am, what, 3,4 maybe 5 years later and I am some what building a career and even though the Vester is in fact a good guitar for the money, it had it's days and is nothing more than a wall hanger now. Bought a VGS Eruption Pro in Relic Honey last year and am looking to buy an Esp Ltd Ec-500 as my next guitar! :D
M8 save for the EC-1000
It's better
My first guitar a Les Paul tobacco sunburst 1982, I was in the military and it was like jimmy Hendrix I slept with it chained to the bed, I sold it the weight was killing me, I wish I never sold it but what are you going to do ,funny thing my next roommate was named Hendricks and he played a Les Paul copy I got stationed in the same division as Elvis ( I visited where he ived while in the Army )and I was shocked that one of the guys stationed with us played with the commodores or Ojays or some huge band after he go out of the army crazy how things happen.
Awesome story man. Still have my first, going to retire it soon, the frets are gettin wornnnn. Im going to restore it shes got some booboos but her face is clean. Its a jay turser strat. Starting to look a little vintage. Could have a 5000 dollar guitar, if I had to choose one it would be my first and always will
Heheh, I actually bought my Ibanez RG350 without thinking of the specs, and also for some reason that is the only Ibanez guitar on the wall so...yeah. I just am really obsessed with guys like Steve Vai and Joe Satch so I saw that blank looking white guitar on the wall and instantly grabbed it, tried it, and asked my parents to get me the one Ibanez guitar on the shelf. And so they did buy me the RG. For two-three years this guitar has been with me, and it is actually my only guitar. I want to get another one though, because I am not satisfied with only one guitar.
My first guitar was a $300 2006 Epiphone les paul and I still have it all my guitars are my baby's,but my first guitar I bought with my own money was a Fender Stratocastor and my most recent I spent $2600 on a 1973 vintage telecaster olympic white. (I have 7 guitars in total).
that's the spirit! I think everyone who plays guitar and don't quit within the first months, should keep their first guitar. It's important, at least to me, to be able to look at it, and see "wow, that's what I started with." I have played for 10 years now, and I still have my first guitar, and I'm not done with it.
You should have seen my first guitar. I hated the thing so much I literally wanted to set it on fire the second I got a new guitar. It was some bootleg no brand 18 fret acoustic piece of shit and it was seriously unplayable. you think I'm over exadurating it... no I couldn't even play the F chord... The fucking F chord.
😂😂😂😂
the first guitar I played was a Yamaha acoustic, but my first guitar was a Squier Bullet Strat.
I have a Kramer Aerostar that will remain with me forever. Not because it is a great guitar, but because it was my first guitar. Great video.
i wish i still had my first guitar, me and a friend took it appart to customise it and made a mess XD ive pondered buying the same model to tribute it
