First guitar.

What was the first axe that gave you sore fingers and guitarists cramp.

Mine was a Jedson Type 1 "Tele" purchased from the Birmingham Band and Instrument company Lynton Square, Perry Barr (since demolished to make way for Asda)

Mine was a Sevilla CG160NL.

I've only been playing a year so the first guitar I got is still my only guitar, it's a Vintage AV1

Mine was a Hohner Rockwood Strat copy in red. Like this one...

I had an unknown brand acoustic when I was young...
My first electric was a 4 string Crestwood p bass

my first gutiar was actually a spanish guitar with a massive neck ! gave up after two lessons couldnt take to learning all those scales !

The Tele on the right was my first guitar, but I do love it, and imo looks so much better with the pickguard removed. Cost me about £140 from a guitar store in Brum.

Is that whammy bar on the strat longer than usual?

Not sure tbh, can't say ive paid THAT much attention to it

Started on my late uncle's '62 Hawk acoustic (way back in the 80s).
Was bought a Satellite Strat Copy as MY first guitar, what a pile of sh*t that was - plywood body, 5mm action.
Bought my first (with my own money) good guitar 12 months later (83) - Yamaha SG2000S.

You don't know how lucky you are if you're starting out now.

You a Villa fan, Jim? I think we conversed back when Gerard Houllier was ill - I'm a Liverpool fan?

Mine was an electric I bought when an insurance policy matured when I was 16. It was second hand from Carlsboro in Derby. I think it had the name 'Stewart' on the headstock. Was a double cutaway LP shape, tobacco sunburst, varnished maple board. DiMarzio pups and Schaller machineheads. About £100 back in 1988.

Haha! Now I know how old you are

The 'Stroppy Northern Git' x

...still younger than me, though.

A washburn X10 which I still have although I've moded her quite a lot.
