What was your first guitar. Mine was a Squier Strat. My first weapon was a pocket knife like a Swiss Army but it wasn't name brand. It had everything, like a plastic toothpick to boot.

First guitar: a cheap $60 gemtone in 1967. I butchered it trying to make a pedal steel out of it.
Second guitar: a Gibson es330 in 1968, my dad was the best tp buy me this guitar at only 13 years old. My mom had to do without new carpets so I could get a Gibson and I heard about it for years...God rest her soul.
they got a name for the winners in the world, I want a name when I lose,
they call Alabama the Crimson Tide, call me Deacon Blues!

First guitar? Some plastic toy.

First electric guitar? Squier Mini Strat in black finish which I tore apart a few years ago!
First weapon? Swiss Army that I later gave to one of my closest buds.

Stratocaster. I traded all of my legos to a neighbor for it. Totally worth it. And a tank rifle. Posted Image

1st guitar was a Vantage Flying-V
1st "weapon" I guess would be a baseball bat, or my Cub Scout pocket knife.
My 1st REAL weapon was a Bushmaster AR-15.

1975 'Grant' copy of a Les Paul gold-top which I fitted with a pair of DiMarzio 'Dual Sound' p-ups the next year. I still have it and I'm sure you've all seen the snap before.

Unless my Boy-Scout sheath-knife counts I've never owned a weapon.

First guitar I bought was my Framus Texan, purchased in Germany in 1969.

First weapon I fired was my Dad's 1906 S&W .38cal Military/Police special. I was about 9 at the time. When Dad passed, I got the pistol. Eventually had it tuned up and reblued, bought a presentation box for it and gave it to my Son.

A strat copy by Sunn which they called Mustang for some reason.

I had a catapult made of a Y shaped branch.

Edit: a pocket knife is not a weapon imho.

I totally agree with you. I put pocket/folding knives in the "tool" category.
Then again, I also see my firearms as tools too. As a civilian, my guns are tools for self defense, not offensive weapons.
Not unless we have another American Revolution where we the people will need to stand and help remove our tyrannical government.
LOL - or if the UN drops troops over our lands. [tongue]

first guitar was about $25 in '63 for a super-cheapie classical.

First "weapon" was a realization at age 12 under a bit of tutelage that everything is a weapon of the mind and that the mind is the true weapon. All else is simply matter that might be many kinds of resource.

Just because you are unique
does not mean you are useful.


I am cynical, pessimistic, and liable to come off as prick-ish.
