My first guitar was a Squier Strat that I got when I was 10 years old. I still have it and still uses it. I have to say it's one of the most amazing guitars I have ever played even though it's a cheap Squier. Changed the p-ups to EMG David Gilmour and later scalloped the neck. Sounds like a canon and plays like a dream!

Mine was a Decca single pickup solid body made by Teisco. It was 1966 and I was 12 years old.

This is my first electric guitar: Gibson L6-S

With Bill Lawrence Super Humbuckers!! This is one of the later models, probably made in 1980. It's more Gibson with a top loader than string thru.

I remember those. Do you remember when they started making them?

The L-6 was made from 1973-1980. I have a 75 with a rotary switch. Pretty interesting guitar but the switch is very awkward to use when playing.

Thanks Xhefri, I thought I sent that answer but I forgot to click the submit button. I think we are the only people who own both an Ultra and a Gibson L6-S, so we are kings of the dinosaur guitars!!

Thanks Bro!

Mine was a Framus - body shape of a Les Paul. Picked it up in 1972 while stationed in Germany. Excellent guitar. Wish I still had it.

A few days ago I did something I never do, I bought a guitar from a music store. I was in this hole in the wall store in North Idaho and they had about 6 Martins. My dad had a 1950 D-18 and I wish I would have got it before he died. Anyhow looking over all the Martins, checking the setups from the factory, I found a D-15 in Mahogany that was better than all the others. It has low action all the way down and the resonance was great—bright highs and really nice rolling lows...So I bought it right there.....it will be a keeper for life.....

My first was a Magnum LP copy thin as dime! My oldest that I still own is from 1981. It is a Suntech purchased new during the "super strat" era. It is exotic wood neck thru with gold plated hardware and an ebony fingerboard. It's a great instrument in mint condition and doesn't leave it's case.

Is your Suntech like this?

An ultra-crappy black Bentley Series-10 HSS.. the pickups were LOUD!! Still - it forced me to learn to work with what I had. Sadly I do not have it.. this would have been around 1987. From there it was an Charvel, then an HM Strat (weird concave top Fender strat), then a PRS CE, then my beloved precious Strat Plus (long may you run.)
