    When I was 16....1991......

    acoustic Alvarez. Jerry Garcia style. Got stolen out of an apartment years later, along with my left handed golf clubs! I was more upset about the golf clubs.

    To buy my first guitar I had to save money for 17 years of my life (which was actually all my life at the time) and get this :

    My first guitar was an Gibson SG replica. The brand is called Gherson. Pretty cool guitar. Only natural clear finish. Shadow-pickups.
    Sounds really good, but unfortunatly the frets are almost down to the fretboard now.

    I traded my nintendo and a suitcase full of games to a pawn shop for some cash, went straight to the guitar shop and picked up a samick strat copy (black to green fade) and a peavey rage amp....I believe I was 16 (now 28). My first acoustic was a Yamaha. It was a gift from a boyfriend, which I promptly sold when we broke up so he couldn't ask for it back...ha.

    Nice. But it was a gift, so it'd be kind of rude to ask for it back. Hell, if it wasn't, I'd ask an ex-gf for an $800 Tiffany necklace I gave her for Christmas back and buy a guitar in its place.

    First guitar was a Yamaha classical. Still like playing it, real mellow.
    Fender acoustic (F95) Dont know anything else about it, but it has USA 1975 stamped inside it.
    Epi LP copy. Love it, so i went and bought a kickin marshall to rock out with.

    btw, first song i learned to play was either nothing else matters, or patience.
