I Well lets face it unless were one of the few luck ones your first guitar was probably a piece of junk. Lets take a trip down memory lane and embarass our selves a bit.

I'm not going to Lie my first guitar was some crappy classical guitar my parents got me on a trip to Mexico. ROFLMAO I took it out one humid day in texas and got caught out in the rain and by the time it dried it didnt even resemble a guitar anymore.
My first electric was a "Series 10" I dont even know if that company is still in business. Or who they were? but it took a nose dive when I was 13 and the headstock cracked in half. Ah the memories.

I'm sure your parents were reluctant to buy you a third.

My mom tells me that I got a toy guitar for my second birthday and I kind of remember seeing old pictures of myself with it but I don't remember it.

My third guitar was actually an Ibanez PF300 its a Les Paul post Lawsuit guitar with a through neck. My father got purchased it from my uncle, he was really down on his luck at the time and it was purchased in 1991 with a Roland Spirit 50. All for $80 I still have the guitar but the amp was stolen about 4 years ago.

Seagull S6. My wife bought it to surprise me for Valentines Day the 2nd year of our marriage. We had been together for 7 years and she finally couldn't take me saying how much I'd really like to try playing guitar anymore! Unfortunately 15 years later I'm still trying!

My first guitar was a hand me down from my uncle that originally had cowboys on it but he sanded them off.The thing had 1/2" action and strings like the mooring cables of a luxury liner.

My first was a 2009 Gibson Les Paul Traditional. It was a present from my wife because she knew that I was interested in learning to play.

1950's Stella flat top Blond Tiger Stripe. :lol: :lol: Sounded Like Thump - Thud - Twaaang. I loved it. Wish I still had it, some of those hard to find gems are worth some cash.Image This is not the actual guitar but an exact lookalike.

Man...if everyone's first guitar looked (and played) as good that, more people would stick with it.

On a more humble note...my first guitar was very similar to what guitslinger described and I remember going through some serious pain playing it until I got my first real guitar, a SquierII Strat that was much nicer on the hands.
I still have my first guitar sitting around, I think it's a Tiesco.
