Just a little curious...I was reading the "First Axe" thread, and was noting the disparate ages of some of the first guitars we all had...so, naturally, it got me thinking....how old were you when you started playing? What year was it? How old are you now?
Also, maybe contrast your first guitar and amp then to your main guitar and amp now...let's see how far we've all come.
I'll start:
Started playing around 12 years old...I'm 44 now. First guitar and amp was a "Memphis" brand...strat shaped body, Les Paul style headstock, and a single blade humbucker. No saddles, just a bar with slots on it for a bridge. First amp was a Multivox 8" speaker, volume, tone, and tremelo controls.
Main guitar now is a 2006 PRS McCarty, quilt 10 top, solid rosewood neck. Amp is a Mesa MK IV combo.
