I found an old (embarassing) picture. I'm only about 100 pounds heavier now.

My first guitar was a Dixon Strat Copy and a 25 watt Gorilla amp. Can't for the life of me remember what happened to them.

My first "real" guitar and amp (in my opinion) are pictured below. Squier Strat and Fender 65w Sidekick. Both still sound good (23 years later) but the Squier was modified pretty heavy and the amp was restored
