First electric was either a Marlin Sidewinder ordered from our catalogue by my mother's friend for her son (he's an avid Ibanez collector now and has a couple of very nice 80s Kramers). I had 10 mins on it - couldn't understand why I couldn't instantly play Apache.
Or I had a mate with a two pickup Strat shaped Burns from the 60s. Very knackered but it was an electric guitar! I managed to borrow this for a while but had to give it back. It was enough to get me going.
The first guitar I ever picked up seriously was the Kawai S170 that my uncle gave me. I still have it.
I said maybe.....
Shortly afterwards my dad borrowed a Squier strat from a friend, which I got a good deal of mileage from before my parents bought me my own electric guitar.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
I'm sure your first guitar was a sunburst Antoria Strat copy.
i recall you also had a Vox AC15, a Yamaha G100 2x12 combo and a Carlsbro 50 Top at various points around that time?
Re. my first electric - Kay K32. Still around somewhere!

I also played one of Toni Iommi's SG's, and a guitar built for Nick Kershaw.
I ended up buying a custom made Flying V bass that was built for Black Sabbath, but cancelled at the last moment. It was finished and ready to go. what I paid wouldn't have covered the cost of the paint.
I don't remember the make of the guitar but I do remember his friend's guitar that was also there (which i was shown but not allowed to touch), a reverse bodied Gibson Firebird. There can't have been many of those in the UK at that time?
A white Encore Strat which I got for my bday or xmas when I was about 15. This was my first guitar; I don't remember ever playing one before this and did not know of anyone else with a guitar at the time. It was a sheltered life
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
It was abandoned when I was given a plastic saxophone a couple of years later. My older brother was heavily into sax music and at junior school I was trying my best to sound like my favourite, Earl Bostic Sax remained my passion until the second year of high school when a classmate got a non-cutaway archtop guitar which looked so cool, particularly as I was heavily into rockabilly by then. I also noticed that whenever he got the guitar out girls would flock around. So I had to have one. Luckily he lost interest in guitar so I borrowed his for a few months until getting my own guitar for my 13th birthday. I've never looked back.
But wasn't until later when I bought a cheap nylon strung acoustic from Argos which then led to token Squire strat,/ 10 watt amp/ lead, gig bag deal from Rose Morris in Denmark street.
After a few weeks of this he gave me a chord book and told me to keep it in my room.
