recsec Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 My first Guitar is an Alverez acoustic. I play it three Sunday's a month at church. It is a wonderful sounding Guitar. However I took it to a friends house to jam about three weeks back, and after two hours it was kiling my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I do... I do! But she is in better shape than she was when I bought her, and I bought her new... I invested lots of money on that guitar... now I rarely use her... she will be my son/daughter's first electric one day, as she was my first electric 16 years ago...

Lithaerien Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I still play my first guitar. it's an Ibanez Acoustic starter pack guitar. It's served me quite well for the action being high and the strings rusting out pretty quick... But the rust just appears because it's never inside a case I guess. I won third place at a contest with it playing Led Zep's Tangerine. Good times. My first electric guitar is collecting dust in a very dark corner and I absolutely dispise it. It reminds me how gullible I was to spend 300EUR for a 50USD worth axe. It's an ESP F-10 starter.. it came with a small amp.. and I guess it got me into playing more. I just haven't picked it up since I got the LP Studio and don't plan on. Oh yeah, when I got brave enough, I looked 'under the hood' of my ESP F-10 and was even more upset.. that shop sold me a handmedown for full price. Wires were cut and 'taped' together unprofessionally. If I knew that, I'd have bargained the price down.. but then.. if I had known anything about guitars I'd have left that store and bought a better one elsewhere in the first place! The only time I resort to buying stuff there is the 'toxic' lemon-oil fret polish and finish polish that can't be sent overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight959 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I still have and still play my first ever guitar... She's in bad shape full of dents and dinks with a nice fracture in the body where the neck joins! She has awsome tone and is a breeze to play! She very rarely needs tuning!! She is semi retirement at the moment! Here's a few pics She's a Washburn KC20V from the the 80's.. Flight959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.B.G. Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Nope....first guitar (ES225 bought new in 1957) was traded for '64 Strat, which was then traded for a 1958 ES225TDN in 1967. Still have it, still love to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super24 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I still have the first guitar I ever purchased' date=' 1979 Yamaha FG350 acoustic guitar.....[center'] [/center] The poor thing needs a fret polish but this is a 30 year old guitar. It sounds unbelievable, and it still goes camping with me every year. Its got some serious mojo also. Its been all over the world with me also. I dont know what the quality of Yamaha guitars is today but this thing was put together very well. I paid 179.00 for it back then; would love to know what it would sell for now. Not out right selling it but if I was to purchase the exact guitar again but in todays money. I have a Yamaha FG340, bought it used last year for $80, it's looks great and sounds pretty good. I bought my first guitar from Sears, around 1978. I still have it. Cosmetically it's in great shape but I don't play because it sounds like CHIT.

Homz Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Damn, back to your first. How long you had that about a 1 or 2 months. I still have my first Applause acoustic 31 years old. I play it every day. All aluminum fret board and fiberglass neck. It actually sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clance Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I still have my first acoustic, my first electric, and my first bass. Let me show you the acoustic: A crack I had to get repaired a while ago I still play it almost every day. It's my favorite acoustic, even more than my Fender.

pippy Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 It looks like you and me are the only ones that still got them Nay' date=' Nay and thrice Nay! I still have the Grant 'Gold-top' Les Paul I bought with my Christmas money in 1976. I swapped out the pups on my following birthday the next July for a pair of DiMarzio 'Dual Sound's. They cost me more than the guitar did. Incidentally; I think the DS's only came out in '76. Does this put them up there with the '58 '59 and '60 LP's? Co-incidentally, I was looking at the DiMarzio website the other day (following on from some Forum talk) and saw the resistance fig. for the Dual Sound as being over 10.0 !! Considering Gibson tried to maintain a figure of "...around 8.0..." I thought that amazingly high! Than again, they weren't (at that time) trying to re-create the PAF. She's buried in her Flight case (which [i']also[/i] cost more than the guitar! What was my reasoning!?) at the back of a cupboard, but I think that she deserves her 15 'Warhol' minutes. I'll post a snap or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vagabond Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Still have mine. Seagull S6+ Folk acoustic. Still my only acoustic actually, and I have been playing it quite a bit lately, stepping away from my usual folk acoustic and converting some of my electric style into my acoustic playing. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I still have my 2nd guitar, the '61 Melody Maker I got in '69. The fretboard is now "scalloped", it's been stripped and clear coated, I've got a million hours on it, and it's hangin' on the wall with the rest of the arsonal. Tuned and ready, although it doesn't leave the house anymore. Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
