'Give him a shout out.'
'Nah, I'll give him a guitar.'
That, right there! Didn't miss a beat, didn't think about it and consider any financial implications, Rob is clearly a super decent and thoughtful guy and instantly surpassed what was required and expected of him at that point. Round of applause!
Astral Cat if you had a "shitload" of guitars, would you give one away? For Free?
Chappers and the Captain, class act all the way!
Astral Cat I have 8 guitars and 7 basses, don't know how to play, and wouldn't give up any of them! Lol
Hulk Slayer Wish I were as lucky as you

how to demo guitars like the captain in 5 easy steps
step 1 - open g played fast
step 2 - hammer on cadd9
step 3 - arpeggiates dsus into open d
step 4 - back to cadd9 and open g
step 5 - a minor pentatonic
These comments are so good
You forgot the Amajor A sus4 blues thingy
i was thinking of that but wasnt sure the name of it lol
The way of the master has been laid bare. Blasphemy.
Yes!!!!!!
Truly touching. The look on Chsppers face when he saw the yellow Yamaha is like a 7 year old at Christmas. Simply Priceless
Its always amazing how things from our distant past have the ability to turn us back into excitable kids. :)
On behalf of all us viewers, thank you Miguel for putting smiles on our faces! What a joy it is to see Rob reunited with an old love.
MIGUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kevin Kelly I hope Miguel has another guitar to play.
Hey Miguel... my first guitar was a ‘66 Strat. Send me one plz
🍻🤣🤣
I am in TEARS
i still have my first because i am still a noob and it is my only guitar
Mine was a 79 Black strat... still got it, but I don't like the low/thin frets... prefer medium jumbo
9:25
Lee: the search continued
Rob: WHAT!!?"
Then the cup in Lee's table suddenly appear.
What is happening.
what in tarnation
DUDE WTF, THERE'S NO TRANSITION.
It's because at 7:25 he makes it disappear with a pfft.
The editor is a genius! 😂
Good lord Lee's solos just get tastier and tastier.
and I left out the comma on purpose because Lee is in fact, the good lord.
Was thinking the same
Wish I could agree.
@Green Frog Yeah I'm not gonna do that, but I appreciate the kind words regardless.
My first guitar was a 2004 Jackson Randy Rhoads with neck thinner than my parents patience.
Haha, same actually
Was it a good thing or a bad thing?
When I was 13 years old, I decided that I wanted to start playing guitar and taking lessons. My father went up to the attic and pulled out this absolutely terrible acoustic guitar that had the word "Contessa" written on the headstock. The action must have been 2 inches high off the fret board, but he said it was his from when he was young, so I assumed all guitars were supposed to be that way. When I showed up to my first lesson with it, my instructor was like: "yeah... you're not going to be able to learn anything on that," and the lesson was barely spent playing actual guitar and more about learning the basics out of a book. Disappointed, I went back home and told my father what happened, and from what I recall, he said something along the lines of: "yeah, I figured it would be awful, but now you're going to appreciate what I have to show you." He went back up to the corner section of the attic and pulled out this sparkly blue early 80s Fender Squier strat with a maple neck. Most people would assume "oh it's a Squier it must suck," but it was one of the better lessons he taught me, because I played the shit out of that guitar, and learned how to take good care of it. After playing for 16 years now, I can honestly say the really early Squiers are actually pretty darn good guitars. I still break it out from time to time when over-dubbing tracks and things like that. Great video though Rob and Lee! I definitely felt the feeling of nostalgia throughout this one!
Yeah, those Squier Bullet 1 guitars are pretty damn good. I got one second hand and honestly, I'm playing it more than anything else
They were Made in Japan. Great guitars.
Thanks so much for sharing, friend. That was a great story.
The new ones (Affinity and Classic Vibe) are made in Indonesia and are actually great for the price. It had some fret sprouting, and the action was a bit high for me, but that was easy to fix and then bam, I got an amazing Butterscotch Blonde Tele for $150.00 and it sounds awesome. Feels great, plays great, and stays in tune surprisingly well (I will upgrade the tuners to Locking Tuners and gut the whole pickup section, tone pot, volume pot, and 3 way switch, and replace it with all Fender pots and switch, and get some double stacked single coils and some neck pickup I'd like, haven't chosen one yet, and also replace the input jack) and once I do the upgrades, it will basically be a Fender. Make sure to buy 2018 and up models do NOT buy anything older (unless it's a made in Japan series), or it will be completely shitty.
Most of the " middle ground" squires are REALLY REALLY Good instruments, vintage vibe, and vintage modified are typicly better than their fender equivalent and about 1/3rd the price. I think the "big names" in the guitar business have lost touch with their customer base.now it seems they make instruments that are more about brand recognition than customer satisfaction. Gibson is a great example.its all about how great the les paul was and how much it can do, and not about what we want from the les paul. God forbid you want something a little different, well aside from what they decide they want to bolt on top of it, i.e. the robot tuners disasters or the" sound like everyone elses guitars" system there putting in thr new ones. Meanwhile asking for more color options, a decent vibratto system, or even something like straplocks to come standard on high end models and you get a history lesson.
Rob, give us an "banana yamaha"- inspired ml1! It would be SO COOL!
Wilhelm The Conquerer this needs to happen. I’d 100% buy a bright yellow ML1
We NEED this
Lee, I've got a red one with the white scratch plate.

My first and only guitar is a $70 acoustic I bought two years ago... It has super high action and is badly set up, but it still means the world to me :)
I have an 900 PHP guitar which is about 20$ when converted. High af action, bolted on bridge and a snapped saddle, I love it to death. I also have a 140$ stratocaster which I bought several months ago
Bro, learn slide.
Akshay Ravi Kumar yeah exactly they should do a acosutic guitar video .. haven't seen one yet .. I don't know ??
My first guitar was a $20 acoustic, and it is just perfect. Ive had it for 5 years and i will never get rid of it.
Why don't you set it up or have someone else set it up?
27:40
Rob: suggests a chapman guitar.
Lee: "... yep..."
Lee about the V - “So inappropriate for a beginner.”
The first guitar I bought myself was a Gibson faded series Flying V. It was different and it was affordable, but I thought it was awesome. I was 15. It made me want to practice more often. Because of that, I logged hundreds of hours of practice within the first year of owning it. If the body type makes you love the guitar all the more, buy it. -PJ
The guitar should have a gravity to it. The ability to pull the player to it is incredibly overlooked somehow.
My first real guitar was a ibanez V (vbt700) and since that day I always cringe when people say V don't work when siting down, or it's not good to start. A (symetrical) V is one of the best shape for sitting down. Stick it between your thighs, neck at an angle going up, giving you access to the whole neck without having your wrist having to bend at the high frets, the guitar stays put without even having your hands on it.
This V and a bc rich warlock are the most ergonomic guitars I've played, the bc being even better (ergonomics wise). No the strandbergs and such might be the best
All hail the V
My first guitar when learning (electric wise anyway) was an Encore Les Paul which got damaged when a cousin dropped it on concrete and smashed up the back, we filled it in and I kept using it. Stopped playing a few years ago (got it about 5 years before that) and just got the urge to start playing again and so I went to my local store and when I walked through the door this beautiful gretsch 2622t in Torino green caught my eye and I fell in love instantly. Massive thing, es 335 style body, centre block, bigsby licensed, couple of humbuckers. Absolutely in love and don’t put it down ever. I’m thinking a Fender Tele for my next one, have my eye on a beautiful Japan made on in arctic white with black binding and pickguard, 60s style, beautiful in the hands.
Escalator same here. I listened to the Albert King and SRV album and wanted a V so bad, so I bought myself one. I’m sure it wasn’t just the guitar, but I had 4 or 5 guitars before that and just sort of piddled about on them. But that V, I’ve put thousands of hours of practice on it and will likely never find a guitar that makes me want to play it more.
My first guitar that I owned was a ESP LTD V-50. I love that you hung to bits. Recently bought a squire bullet a couple years ago and now actually properly learning guitar
#MiguelForPresident
My first guitar was a tennis racquet.
Technically, mine was too. And I still have it hanging in my garage.
Evan Ward same here !
Mine was a ukulele (back in the ‘60s when they were unpopular)!
I feel ya bro.
Same here!!!
Rob is such a cool dude for giving Miguel a guitar, and Miguel is such a cool dude for finding that yellow Yamaha for Rob.
The yellow is eye catching color, some people like it.
If you really look at it, it's not a good color, really doesn't do anything for the guitar player, just looks funny.
@@drmidnight2419 I disagree. I think it looks good.
@@StackBundle I don't think yellow is a good color.
@@drmidnight2419 That's fine.
A purple fender Squire, from my parents at Xmas when I was a teenager. I remember only asking for skateboarding clothing for the Xmas. I was so dissapointed. I never wanted a guitar. But I'm glad they did. They only regretted it when I got into heavy Thrash Metal haha
C O N S T A N T V A R I A B L E S
You got the best color ever. I have a black squire strat with a purple pick guard that I put on it
Shout out to you Miguel - what you and the Cap'n did for Chappers was just beautiful. More power to you.
Cash Converters - the UK's foremost converter of stolen-goods to heroin-vouchers.
Richard Keel What's the axe one you've sold to them

you should do a video about the guitar ou sent to miguel
My first guitar will be here in 5 days....a used Epiphone Les Paul Standard Pro. I'm a bit excited!
well, I have my great-grandmother's Stella Dread, but it's very old and I prefer looking at it rather than playing.
SixShooter14 well, did you learn how to play yet?
I just bought the quilt top pro. Seriously good guitars in the $500 range. Also good to swap parts and try different things as it's not a $2,000 Gibson. Enjoy mate!
So it's over a year later. How's it going? Can you play it?
I’ve got a fair collection but they’ve all been gifts. I’ve just bought my first guitar with my own money. 2020 Epiphone Les Paul Custom in Alpine White
my first guitar i built myself with some cardboard and rubber bands as strings, it was amazing
wow didnt expect such success from this comment, guys i have an idea: lemme know if youd like to see a video where i try and build a cardboard guitar again with my current knowledge and perhaps get a chord out of it? like, if this comment gets to 200ish like i could probably come up with something :D
edit: THE VIDEO IS UP GUYS! its just the first episode for now but I'm going to post every week to update the project so be sure to check out the video and sub to stay updated :)
Did any subsequent guitars live up to that dream?
My first guitar is the air. It never left me since then.
Chris Franklyn naa close but never quite there
Do you still have it
B.S.P , fell apart in a week or so ;_______;
Send Miguel a chapman guitar!
Miguel bought and sent that guitar, he is definitely awesome. But Captain Lee is just an amazing person! He purchased that black Yamaha and he could've stopped there, but he continued searching and found that exactly yellow guitar just to please Rob. And it worked!
The Captain is a wonderful friend and man! Thanks for this video!
9:25 Rob's WHAT?! makes a wild coffee mug appear on Lee's coaster. Truly epic stuff.
I can see why you wanted the yellow one Rob. It looks sick.
What a legend Miguel is!!!!
My first axe was an “Air Guitar”. Cheap. Never went out of tune. A tonne of built in effects. Made in Oz
“for the next 10 minutes of your life” *checks video time and sees its over 40 minutes long*
Welcome back guys. This is the best video you've done in a while. The stories were great as was the playing. Superb.
I started with a cheap fender strat copy and much like Robs first one it was shit. But I'd love to have that back.
10 minutes he said... but I'm enjoying every minute!
I loved this style of video. Laid back, relaxed, just two funny guys telling stories and noodling on great guitars! Video idea: set a budget and or theme and buy second hand guitars for this type of video!
I absolutely LOVE the moment when Rob's eyes light up at the sight of his yellow yamaha. Giving a good present is the best feeling ever. I didn't even give him the guitar and I still felt that! Amazing moment.
MIGUEL!! What a top bloke 🤘🏻
Would love to know which guitar Miguel will get...
Frank Meffert ML-1 fo sure
The £60 black one
haha!! that was mean!!!
A top of the range air guitar
But let it be custom shop air!!!
peep the spontaneously appearing coffee mug at 9:27
Dude.. i noticed it too, and it creeps me out haha!
I love those little edits they do it's hilarious
But did you notice it disappear at around 7:26?
Wow, I'm stoked to see how much you enjoyed having it back in your hands, Rob.
I was honestly more concerned about the shipping, and in what shape It would arrive!
Glad to have been of help, sadly, I couldn't find anything for Lee... But if for whatever reason I come across one, I'll let you know!
Also, my first guitar was a Superstrat copy with a small 10watt analog Kustom amp I inherited from my aunt from the mid 80s. Still keep It today, but stored away. It was terrible to play with! Floyd kept losing pressure and sent the action of the strings 4 metres from the fretboard...But... First guitar, sentimental value, etc. Then played an LP for the first time and fell in love, and never looked back.
I will get It a proper set up sometime!
Keep doing what you do guys, you are most amazing!!
Are you really pretending to my Miguel ?
You're Miguel? 😲😎🤙
nice one Miguel!!!!!! and thats a very nice gift Lee!!!
I forgot to say, congratulations Rob. That yellow guitar looks fantastic.
This just brought me so much joy to see
watched you guys for years..definitely one of my favorite videos. good stuff guys
First guitar was a Classic Vibe 50s strat. Still have it, love that guitar.
Paradox Damn...
Lucky!! Those are great guitars
Nice man, those things are godly guitars, got one for myself a few months ago and its one of my favourites for sure
My first guitar was an Epiphone Ace Frehley model. Wish I still had it. Goes for nearly 4 times what I paid for it now.
@janis vogel Did you practice being a jerk, or does it come naturally?
BrianS Man one night I stopped at a record/cd store I worked at to drop something off and in the store was this old bald guy talking to my coworker behind the counter. When I walked in my coworker pointed to me and said “ He might buy it”. Anyway the guy says he has a les Paul for $200. In my mind I think oh damn it’s gonna be a cheap knock off that’s worthless, but at the same time I’m excited that it could be a great guitar for a steal. We walk outside and dude pulls a case out and it says epiphany and I think oh well I’ll at least look, but he opens it and it’s a beautiful brand new Ace Frehely cherry burst les Paul with lightning inlays and his face paint on the headstock and 3 humbuckers. For reference I had a nickelodeon boom box when I was 8 and only Kiss Alive on cd so I was excited to see this guitar. It played fantastic so I bought it. Got it home and plugged it into my old peavey butcher with 4x12 and it was the best sounding guitar I’d played up to that point. Incredible guitars.
Loved this video guys. Great job!!!
You guys are awesome. Real friends are hard to find. You guys made my day
#Let'sGetMiguelOnTheShow
My first was a 1988 Black MIJ Strat with a Floyd and rosewood board from Guitar Center in San Jose, CA. First amp was a Peavey Bandit 112 with Scorpion Speaker and spring reverb.
Great video again enjoyed as always!🤠
This is one of my favorite videos you two made together
My first was an Epiphone Les Paul Standard, now i have a banjo... Thanks
Wow, that RG 421 has a name that isn't a mile long. And those quantum ceramic humbuckers on it sound amazing, for being stock Ibanez pickups.
That was a really nice thing to do. Way to go.
Nice one Miguel! Well done mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My first guitar was a cheap €40 Lidl guitar that I stole off my sister. It was years old, strings hadn't been changed and was covered in paint and was terrible. But I still have it
Welcome to Andertons. Where we zoom in on Lee's package every week.
Love the way Lee plays. More of him!
Great story... Miguel, nice work!
Dat yellow Yamaha is awesome
My first was an Epiphone Dot Studio in white.
I believe it is now rare as they don't make that color anymore
Always entertaining, thank you.
great segment - great sounding Yamha
My first and only axe was bought from Andertons! (wink wink), and it's a shaffordable Ibanez Gio in walnut. Nothing fancy, fixed bridge and so on, but I'm lovin' it!
Now, if only one could buy persistence in practicing...
AmiBorg just Learn some metallica songs through youtube and keep playing them till you have it spot on I'd suggest fade to black because the solos are pretty easy once you can play metallica songs properly you can play anything with a little practice
Whenever i learn a guitar song i make sure that the song has a guitar technique i havent learned yet, the important part is you have to LOVE the song since i would play the shit out of it till i get it perfect and its a win win, i learn a new song and a new technique. Currently at sweeping.
My first electric guitar was an Ibanez Gio GRX40 (came with the Jumpstart package) that I got in 2006 I believe, and even though I now also have a '93 Japanese-made Ibanez SV470 (wonderful guitar), I still have that Chinese-made Gio, and I still love it. It may have been cheap, but it plays wonderfully.
my first guitar was a Squire Strat. Being left handed there wasn't really much for my parents to choose from, i'd have liked a Les Paul but I was really into Hendrix around the time i started playing so i think that's why my parents got me a Strat. If i could do it all over again, i think i'd have gone with a Yamaha Pacifica
Same, I got a squier bullet HSS and a fender front man 10g amp. I had a choice of the squier + amp, or a Pacifica 012. I went with the squier, but the amp sounded horrible and I've never used it. Kind of wish I went with a Pacifica!
Beautiful tone on captains guitar in the intro, man captain made robs day happy like a child :)
Back on form guys...really enjoyed this...keep em coming...
I'm 48 yrs old and bought my first guitar about a month ago. I picked up a Schecter C6 Plus and love it. Yesterday I had my second lesson and can't get enough of it. I've wanted to do this for years and finally did it. I love your videos and you guys have been a lot of fun to watch and learn from. Thanks!
Hey! I’m currently saving for a guitar and want to learn to play myself! It’s been a couple years since you commented this, but if you see my reply, could you tell me how much progress you’ve made and how your experience learning guitar was?
@@seroclas Hey there, unfortunately my progress stalled a couple of months after. I have arthritis and in my hands and it became really bothersome. Especially the left hand, trying to do the drills up and down the neck got to be too much and I had to give it up. I hope your journey pays more enjoyment than my did. All the best!
@@blitzcraig1001 I'm so sorry to hear that, man :( and thank you!
Really good video...I enjoyed watching this one. What comes across to me though is that you can get a pretty nice guitar for your inflation adjusted budget, but for even less you can still get a nice instrument to learn on. That may not have been the case in the 80's?
Just seen this, summer 2023. The Legend of Miguel lives on 🎸
I recently ordered a Squier Contemporary HSS in that Ocean Blue! Can't wait for it to arrive! I was so excited to see it in this video
How about a new vs second hand video or where they assemble their first gigging rig
Yamaha Pacifica SSH, shortly followed by a Gibson 135, Cherry with White Binding. Was in the 90's.
...And i still have both. Never get rid of your gear, it's too hard to replace later in life.
Mark Hooper trust me some of our beginner gear was not worth keeping. We were kids and got the worst gear ever. I do not miss my first two junkers.
Oh I agree; I just did a !four-hour! setup on my nephew's Walmart "Davison" that made it playable for the 1st time ever. Hopefully he will actually start to learn and enjoy it now. Also had a talk with all the relatives about how awful instruments lead to non-musicians.
Captain, your playing is. Getting a lot better👍🏾 Keep up the work😉
Thank you so much Miguel
Speaking of being a Megadeth fan Rob, you should do some videos on Dave Mustaine's collection of signature guitars, especially that semi hollow Flying V, as well as a sound like Megadeth without breaking the bank!
31:25 you guys left in a "shit" ;)
Rob's yellow Yamaha is seriously beautiful, though
I've been watching you guys for like 4-5 days and im binge watching all your old videos holy shit I love you guys
Nothing more beautiful then real friends, Lee and Rob!
Another great video guys. Always interesting when Chappers and the Captain get together just to chat guitars and reminisce. Taking up guitar today there are so many great choices available. When I began playing around 45 years ago you would be VERY lucky to find a budget guitar that stayed in tune for more than a few minutes. Build quality at the entry end of the market was absolutely awful. My first acoustic was a nylon string, classical/folk thing that was a bloody nightmare to play. You could have driven a truck under those strings! Today you would be hard pressed to find a bad guitar even amongst the cheapest of them. Great time to be a musician :)
yamahamusicians haha yeah, I just bought an Epiphone les Paul standard pro in wine red for $100! I love it and I've had it for about 3 hours!
Nice one! That's the thing. You absolutely CAN buy a $100 guitar and still get the quality. Always been a fan of Epiphone by the way :)
Same here. I was given a Harmony Special from the Brand Names store. My Mom bought it at Christmas for me and I think she skipped the electric bill to do it. Playing was murder on my fingers and it couldn't stay in tune, but I would trade any of my 3 others to have it back today.
Put's me in mind of an Encore bowl back acoustic I had back in the early 80's. It was a present from my mother and although it probably didn't cost a great deal and was not that great to play it meant a lot to me. My mother was an incredible woman, working three jobs, raising four young children on her own, my father had died when I was eight and my step father died when I was 14. She never had any money for herself so she probably took an extra job just to pay for that guitar. I learned all the basics on that Encore and I still had it up until a couple of years ago by which time it was completely unplayable. The gift of a guitar to a young person cannot be underestimated :)
Man...that Ibanez is a gorgeous, CRAZY value. That thing is friggin beautiful!!
I have one of these, with the ibanez own edge something something fr-style tremolo and in HSH. Its a very decent guitar, good bang for your buck when you're into shredding superstrat style. The stock PUs are nothing special, better than the infamous Ibanez stock PUs, but nothing special, changed them for classic set of JB / 59 SDs. The finishing is kinda thicc polyethylen though, so even with the finish of the wood being gourgeous, it looks kinda cheap in person compared to one of the more expansive Ibanez. The neck is wicked, though, kinda beefy for a RG tbh, but I really like that.
loving this video!!!
This was a great episode. Making all these players reminisce on their first days when inspiration was such a new thing, and everyone was so aw stricken with the love of this instrument. I still play my first guitar. Definitely does not look the same anymore though.
Korean Strat around 1990, that has got to be A Young Chang of later Fenix fame. Fenix copped fender hard and made some great Strat copies under the Fenix name, as they did the Squier range, and Fender i guess by the look of it.
Well done #Miguel
Love these kinds of videos
I get a real kick out of watching these vids. Rob and Capt Lee keep it fun and still give lots of info. This is now my most anticipated you tube channel for new content. Happy Birthday Rob!
My 1st electric guitar was a 1960s epiphone les Paul junior. My father bought it for me from a yard sale for $60US when I was 16. I still have it after 19 years.
My 1st acoustic guitar was a unknown vintage Martin that had the obituaries of Morrison, Hendrix and Joplin glued on to it I got from a step sister when I was 12. Wish I still had it.
epiphone didnt make les pauls in the 60s
Matteo Rasemont yes they did.
the first epiphone les pauls came out in 1988
Matteo Rasemont using Gibson’s date coder via serial number, mine is a 1969 model year (last year for USA production). Then again since they never came with double humbuckers from the factory, who knows what that guitar has been through or what other mods have been done, since it has both Gibson on the headstock and an epiphone logo on the headstock. Wish I could show a pic of it.
does it say epiphone by gibson
I found a website that calculates the current value of amounts in the past, and it said that £200 in 1988 would be worth £535 today. However, given the increase in availability and quality of cheap guitars, £300 is probably a reasonable budget for a beginner guitar today, and you can definitely get a very decent guitar at that price.
What kind of kid has £500 as pocket money?
@@BlasterJunos you'd be surprised what some parents give their children
Lee, You are a true brother. That's awesome that you got Rob the yellow one.
HUGE Dweezil fan, Rob. All the feels.
My first guitar was a dean Razorback in Black. cost my family $400 and got it for my 8th birthday I felt like a badass with that guitar. Unfortunately it was stolen at my school after doing a school performance 😢
Brayden Fletcher so what do u play now
Akhtar Zamil Sirajudeen I’ve got a few guitars now currently I use a Jackson soloist sl2q for the most part I’ve also got a prs se custom 24 and a Ibanez iron label rgaix6fm which sit in the corner till I fell inspired to play them
Gutted the thief must have had big pockets
Darrell Middleton the guitar was in a hard case. The way the school was built was the hall where the performance was being held was literally only a few meters from the car park so I would say that after I put the guitar away in its case and went to go and join the audience the person would of just snatched it and put it in the car.
Even know it sucked it turned out better got a better guitar a week or so after
Oh well that's cool then if you got a better on but i can imagine the heartbreak when you noticed it gone
I have a brand new 2018 Gibson SG and I have a 1982 Telecaster. The old guitar feels better. I am not convinced that older guitars are necessarily better but I believe that guitars age and improve like a good wine. I have 15 guitars of different ages and I am totally convinced that the longer the wood has been a guitar and gradually setup better, the better the guitar becomes. I have a 1979 Strat and I owned a 1979 Strat in 1980, the present Stratocaster is way better than my original in 1980. My first guitar was a Hondo 2 Strat copy, it was awful!!!
The matching headstock on that Squire looked brilliant!
The joy that Rob felt when he saw the Yellow guitar was beautiful. My first guitar was a Strat style with a sunburst finish from Radio Shack back in 2004. Since I'm a lefty I played it upside down but it got me started!
My first guitar is an Ibanez Les Paul Copy from the lawsuit era from the early 70s.
And i still got it.
Who else still got their first guitar?
me
I bought a Jasmine acoustic in 1988 that was made in Korea for about $100. Still have it. It's never been in a case, got a few dings yo
Unfortunately I don't have my first EVER guitar, a little Jasmine. But I do still have my first electric, a red Yammy Beach Banana, a SC300T. Hell, I still have all of my early electrics.
In order of acquisition...
87 red Yamaha SC300T
93 blackJackson JR94 Concept Randy Rhoads V (Yes, was amazed when I found out what I actually bought for just 250$US which also included an authentic Jackson hard case, it was and is still in mint condition!)
My first Strat type is an Austin AU731 Tobacco-Burst that was owned by a local Luthier, thus had a nice setup and is in mint condition.
My first Les Paul is a mint 2014 Agile AL-3010 in the old Oceanburst (not the newer, and might I add, uglier "Oceanburst" they're offering lately)
Austin AU766 Sunurst LP copy, that was owned by a local performing guitarist. Somewhat a beater but plays quite nicely. Bought to beat on while saving my mint AL3010 for special occasions.
Black Yammy EG112 ST-type bought to beat on while saving my mint AU731.
LTD AX50 in silver. My first metal guitar (aside the JRR94) which was quickly replaced but will be a project guitar for later.
Black Peavey Predator Plus Strat copy that is my first Floyd Rose. Still needs work as it came with bad output jack and for some unknown durned reason he painted the black hardware white with what looks like white-outs (liquid correction fluid).
An Epiphone Limited Edition Genesis DX Pro in Transparent Black. My first SG style, bought as a shop floor model, but still had most of the factory stickers and tags on it.
Ibanez XH300 Halberd in dark gray. It's my replacement metal guitar while the ax50 is in pieces for restification.The XH300 is my first active pickups.
And what I nicknamed my FrankenBass, someone else's project bass guitar. A red crate body with jazz bass style pickups mated to a Fender neck. It's my first bass electric. It's in such bad shape that I'm going to be redoing this guy all over. But in meantime I'm currently working on getting a black Schecter Deluxe-4 to play on.
I have 3 other electric guitars that are basket case vintages that are in queue on the restify project list. All are 60s era small makes. A Swinga SG-type, a Western ST-type, and an Artisan hybrid ST/LP-type. Except for the Western (which just needs restringing), they were missing strings, nut, and all hardware. However the Swinga retained it's original metal pickguard.
Except for the AU766, AX50, and the EG112 and the 3 vintage project guitars, the other guitars are all first for me in one way or another. First real guitar, first electric, first Strat, first LP, first SG, first Floyd, first active pickups, first metals, etc. Unless you want to count the two basket cases to be my first vintages, lol, which I bought together for just 15$US each!
Spinnifuchs , wanna maybe sell it to me? I've always wanted to build an Ibanez collection to go with my Artist AM75 semi-acoustic hollowbody (my first gitter)
wow- Rob's guitar sounds like every other guitar he has ever played on here, by diming up the gain he manages to make 20,000 pound LesPauls sound like 60 pound Yamahas- it is magic (Magik)
sempercompellis that’s what rolling the gains does
18:05 - Man, that tone is incredible!
My first electric was a red Squire Strat that I eventually “modified” to make a makeshift floating trem because I told one of the guys at my music store that I wanted to “play like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai”, and it still has that mod 10 years later
