Your first guitar?
« on: April 08, 2008, 06:07:59 PM »
3/4 sized Hondo Strat copy!

Man, I was over the moon when I was given that. FINALLY, I had an electric guitar. And it was a good instrument, apart from being 3/4 size. :-)

I'm pretty sure this was my first guitar.
Bought it off a C&W/Elvis performer.


Man, was it hard to play.
High action, strings really hard to fret when tuned to the right pitch.
Built up the callouses though!

No.......and although I remember most things, I can't remember who I sold it too!
I think I may have been too excited about buying my mate's SG copy (with tremelo arm).
That was a bit easier to play but still a pig of a guitar compared to the real thing. Can't remember what brand it was. Jap, I'd reckon.
Refused to stay in tune.

My first guitar was a ONYX strat style thing I think the body was made from masonite and it was
tonally a piece of crap hehehe but turn it up and well the overtones sorta covered up the crap sound.
I think it had something loose inside the body because if you moved to fast it would make a horrendous buzz

All good fun though

my first was a Sears/Roebuck Effector explorer style in 1980. it had fx built in the guitar, buttons. 9v. active!!! WOW..... the next one was an Gibson invader. absolutely badass!!! before all that were nameless acoustics. my dad thought fishing line was adequate for guitar strings...

Nice! It seems Matthew Bellamy wasn't the first to strap an EFX unit to his guitar :)=
