I remember that those amplifiers in the case came with schematics. A distant relative on my mom's side was into electronics and borrowed the schematic. About a month later he gave it back to mom and played on his newly built amplifier. The memories are great from the childhood days and pretending to be all of the musical stars of the day

Bob, what a beautiful Les Paul. I have one that looks nearly identical, a 1999 Standard Plus LTD, except mine has zebra pickups and no pickguard. Do you still play it much?

Note the wide strap and cheap Univox case that protects it better than the Gibson one... Bob

A Washburn 335 copy i bought at 1989. Weights a tone but the fretboard is great and the guitar itself was very responsive to whatever pickups i used.

My first was a Squier Stratocaster.
That started tweaking and interest for better tuning, different tones etc... I'd like to think lots of buying and selling would not have happened if I started out with a premium guitar but am sure that would be wrong.

'76 Aspen Strat copy just like this one - 149.00 and it was a pretty darn nice guitar!

I don't recall ever playing the instrument, because the action was so high that I could wrap my hand around the neck,,,,UNDER the strings. |

Some of those lawsuit-era Japanese guitars were incredible instruments for the money - small wonder the American companies (other than Guild and Rickenbacker) got nervous, given the garbage they were foisting off on the public back then. I'm just sorry I didn't grab an Ibanez korina, Johnny Smith, and acoustic L-5C/Super 400C copy or two - not to mention a Univox "Randy Bachman" triple-bucker Strat - while the getting was good...

Wow, some beautiful guitars and geek looks(which I only say because I am pretty sure it would be difficult to locate any pictures of me during that era ).
My first was an American Strat, and we did not bond. I do love my Collings, but I find myself playing my acoustics most of the time. Which I am about to do....

Aria Pro II. Active electronics and the thing had awesome Strat neck pick up tones. I still have it, but it's not playable

My first electric guitar came courtesy of my dear departed mom. It was a new '65 Epiphone Casino. From what I've read, I had mine before John and George, but not Paul.
