Anyone out there have pictures of thier first guitar?
My first guitar was actually a nylon string accoustic, I didn't really ever play it but I do remember filling it up with gas and flying it around like a jet engine. I later filled it with Jello and had to get rid of it after it started to stink.
My next guitar was a hand me down Kiss Army guitar. It didn't play very well and the action was so high it was painfull to play. That guitar might be still around if it survived the house fire at my mother's house a few years back. (which incidently, had nothing to do with my first guitar).
What I consider to be my first real guitar was a Sears Harmony guitar that I got for Christmas in 1983, when I was fourteen years old. I remember playing it pretty much constantly for a couple of years. The string sadle height adjustment screws where sticking out as I had the action set as low as I could get it, and they would chew at the sides of my right hand until I started to bleed.
I started this thread because I recently came accross a picture of the guitar - here it is all pimped out with a jolly roger sticker and three black tophats. If anyone knows the whereabouts of this thing, I would be interested in buying it back (I think I sold it to buy an Anjo Les Paul in Dartmouth , N.S)

My second one was a Les Paul-ish buy from a friend for weed and a couple of bucks. That guitar as a butterfly on the headstock. The action and the tone was worst thant a cat in a blender. After that a change very fast, a Vantage strat-ish who only played Nirvana cover. A Jackson Performer who just give me headache because of that stupid locking tremolo but played the metal thing very well! Now, with your help, I discover many thing and sound that I want to experiment. I'm only a bedroom player but guitar and music are my passion so rock on !!!!
