Topic: What was the best and worst thing about your first guitar?
Best: 2 cool looking cream humbuckers, although I didnt have a clue what they did
Worst: part of the black finish was missing on one of the horns. This showed that the body was clearly made of chip board! LOL

Re: What was the best and worst thing about your first guitar?
Mine was just too cheap and went out of tune all the time and was in need of a good set up!
But the best things was it was an electric guitar, I was about 11 and it was totally the coolest thing to have!

Re: What was the best and worst thing about your first guitar?
My guitar, mentioned above broke a top E string on day 2 so I rang up the guitar shop to complain! I thought strings were some sort of permanent fixture that lasted forever.
I dont think I discovered the concept of a setup for at least another 10 years.
Absolutely no idea!

Re: What was the best and worst thing about your first guitar?
Worst thing - it was cheap and cheaply made - it was a "Hondo" acoustic
Best thing - it was mine. I was ten years old and the world was my oyster and man, I loved that baby. I learned to play on that guitar

Hi Mitch - welcome to the forum.
I think that the sound and feel is way more important than looks!

my first crappy acoustic was cheap and nasty, but I still liked the sound. My newish one is nicer to both look at and play, but I still occasionally play the old one.. it's like putting a 78 on a record player.
