I was just wondering what Guitar the Guitar players on Facepunch started with.
If you play Acoustic and/or Electric and/or Bass, post your first of each type.
My First (and current) guitar is a [URL="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Maestro+by+Gibson+-+6-String+Double-Cutaway+Electric+Guitar/9365652.p?id=1218092152724&skuId=9365652&st=MESGWRCH3&cp=1&lp=1"]Maestro by Gibson SG[/URL]

I Received it as a Christmas gift and 4 months later I still love it. Although I would prefer an Epiphone, this will do until i have some money.
I didn't really like the Volume and Tone knobs so with a little gorilla glue I put some coke bottle caps (the plastic ones) on and I like the way it looks and feels.
So Post and discuss your first guitars, and if you've bought others your current and favorite guitars.
Some red Ibanez, I don't remember the model
Ibanez roadstar 2 RS-1500

Got it in 1999, started playing in 2008. (pic is recent, when I restrung it for the first time lol)
If I ever get the time and the money to get it properly fixed (electronics wire are all ripped off in the back cavity) will finally hear how it sounds. used it unplugged all the time sounds really great.
some shitty ass 3/4 scale acoustic, black I never played it, just strummed it like a retard then the neck warped and I sold it.
First electric was an Ibanez (lots of people got Ibanez for their first)
Hmm... Some acoustic whose brand I forget, back when I was a wee little 'un. I wasn't serious about it at all back then, so I don't count that. My friend gave me some Carlo Robelli acoustic, but I didn't really start playing until my Ibanez RG120.
Yamaha 120-A, like this one:

I really wish Ibanez hadn't discontinued the Roadstar series. My friend has one and it's fantastic.
Guys, we've got a thread for this.
I played a year with my father's '90 [url=http://musikaster.com/shop/images/Fender%20Telecaster%20American%20Deluxe.jpg]Fender Telecaster[/url], then got a [url=http://image.nettix.fi/extra/itemimg/730101_730200/esp-ltd-mmv-06-730116_b_c4bd872ae5bcd7e1.jpg]ESP LTD MMV-06( Alexi Laiho model )[/url], which sucked horribly.
Now, 2 years later I got a [url=http://www.upload.moogen.org/uploads/whitespace/Kitara 024.jpg]Schecter C-7 Blackjack ATX[/url] and I fucking love it.
Some lovely cheap acoustic which sounds really fantastic.
I had a shitty starter pack squier strat.
playd like a dreem
Squier Affinity Series Strat, and now I have an Epiphone G-400.
Cruiser Strat by Crafter (black) still my only electric until Jet King comes on monday
I started with a Squier Bullet Strat, but I really started playing when I bought a second hand Epiphone SG from my guitar teacher.

Holy shit, I love you for the music theory on your wall. When I move out I am going to do that.

Yeah I normally have my laptop sitting on the desk which is just lurking out of the shot underneath the theory stuff when I'm writing, so having all of that on my wall is handy for when something slips my mind or I need some ideas
Fender Squier Acoustic
Absolute first guitar was a Fender Stratocaster from 1967 with a replaced neck, and my first acoustic was my Dad's Epiphone, I don't remember what model.
I don't have a guitar myself, but we my dad has some guitars.
The first one he got was a Gibson SG
This one:

I got some no named Acoustic when I was 5 or 6, gave it to my cousins, borrowed my older cousins guitar and returning it to him on saturday...
I guess it can count as a first guitar though, get the pic in a minute.
To get a picture in your head, it is an HSS Strat, with a Jackson style neck on it, made by Marshall.
I had a pink Johnson strat knock off.
Worst guitar I ever played.
