Re: Your First Guitar?
Acoustic: An beat up old archtop picked up in a pawn shop, can't recall the name, just that it was obscure. It was a good guitar, even though the neck was a log. I wish I'd kept it. I was 9 or 10.
Electric: A Silvertone. It was my first amp too, or more accurately the case was, it had an actual tube amp built into the case believe it or not. Even had tremelo. I was 11.

Re: Your First Guitar?
My first guitar was a cheapo Japanese electric guitar from Lafayette Electronics in N.Y. My Dad also bought me a little 5 watt Lafayette amp to plug this guitar into..The strings were very high off the frets and I had to string it lefty....It kept me busy though and I was thrilled to have it,plus it had a cool plastic case to put it away in...

Re: Your First Guitar?
1st acoustic: Silvertone archtop, Black, with full Binding, F-Holes, and Trapezoid Bridge.
1st electric: Silvertone, ....don't know the model.
1st amp: Little Gray Silvertone Tube amp, with a silver Tweed grillle cloth. Came with the electric guitar.
These all came from the Sears catalog, way back in the '60's.
*** I wish I still had them today !!!! ..........................

Re: Your First Guitar?
My parents bought me a used Fender MIM Strat at a clearance sale at a local guitar shop. It was a decent guitar, but I'm happy it's gone.

Re: Your First Guitar?
Electric - Mako Randy Rhoads copy, 17 Yrs.. The neck was broken off in a brawl with my father @ 19, but I still have it and plan on fixing it
Acoustic - Herbert Schäffner "Torello" 3/4 classical, 7 years. still have and play it
Amp - Fender M-80 Bass Head and a Hohner/Celestion 1x15, 16 years (started bass before I started electric guitar), also both still in my posession.
Bass - Washburn XS-4 Axxess bass. Still have it, been refinished, re-/Defretted, refretted again, and that type of stuff multiple times. That bass and the Mako "taught" me how to build guitars. And it´s still one of the best basses I´ve ever played for my styles

Re: Your First Guitar?
First Electric: Harmony Rocket w/three pickups...then a Fender Jaguar
First Amp: a little Supro like a Fender Champ...then a bigger Supro w/two 12's
First Acoustic: Harmony POS...then a nice Harmony Monteray
I started fooling around with the guitar a couple of years before the Beatles hit it big...but I was just a kid and couldn't really play anything. Maybe a little of I Walk the Line. But I didn't get serious, and really start practicing, until the Beatles.
