your first guitar

[osiris]

do you feel like betraying old good friend when you buy new one and do not need your first anymore?

i do.
so sad, men, it so sad.

:) Not really I just absolutely forget about my past guitars for a while, and then I leave them at strategic places Im always at so I always have an istrument to practice on. Then when im in the studio i just line em up on their rack and still play them for some guitar parts.

[osiris]

:-) Koala, my first guitar was Yamaha Pacifica 112... :-)
and now i bought Ibanez RG

so you understand, i can't play Yamaha anymore :)

but 3 years of my life - '98-01 i played this guitar 4 and more hours a day, i was in love with it! :)

and now... strings off, guitar in box and - get off my sight :(

[bdemon]

Heh, heh...I've thought that. Then I read an interview with another guitarist who compared it to moving into a new home. Weird at first, but you adapt.

I wish I could leave my guitars around at strategic places... but the fiance has a problem with any sort of "clutter" :mad: As if my guitars are clutter :mad: ;)

Anyway... I have no problems with cheating on my guitars... I figure they can join if they want and it could be a group orgy :D

[kirk_wannabe]

yeah, my first guitar was a STATUS les paul copy...not a bad guitar by any means...and I promised myself I would never sell it, as it was the guitar that got me started....however, a year passed and I traded it, along with an expensive keyboard ( which I no longer play ) for a REAL GIBSON LESPAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!
and so I betrayed my dear status....but I've never looked back.

[Metal Dan]

I like keeping that first cheapo guitar as a beater. One that you just drag with you whenever you go on vacation or over a friends house. It takes the abuse so the expensive ones don't have to ;)

[Carvinite]

^^^Exactly....kinda like a whipping boy :D

[JeffN]

I'm still playing on my cheap strat copy. I'll probably be getting something new very soon, but I can tell that I'm kind of attached to it. Maybe after a I get a new guitar, I'll put new PUs in, have it set up properly and stuff so I can still use it.

one of the great differences between a guitar and a woman

a guitar wont get jealous when you play another guitar :)

incidentally i have a pacifica and a ibanez rg i play them both the neck on my pacifica is lovely

hmm...my first electric guitar was a Squier Stratocaster in a nice faded Arctic White. I had gotten it from apawn shop for about $100 thinking it was just something to start learning off of. Come to find out the previous owner had done some work on the neck and then pick-ups. It had seymour duncan pickups with a locking nut up at the top. I guess with me it aminly matters on sentimental value of the guitar. The way I lost it was tradgic.

[osiris]

you know, i have no problem with new gutar :D

it's just great, i love it!

but "yamaha" is like a friend, good old friend, who know you as itself :)

[osiris]

:-)))

yeah, i wanna now - what they are talking about while standing in the corner of my room? :)

[osiris]

cool! ;-))

so we do study playing guitar the same way :-))))

but it's more easier to me to play fast with Ibanez' Wizard neck... i just can't play Yamaha after Ibanez

[osiris]

oh btw - seymour duncan pickups.... i want to replase original Ibanez pickups (you know - V7/V8 is not very cool pickups) with Duncan or DiMarzio pickups....

i like pro-rock dreamtheater/liquid tension style

what do you think about it?

[osiris]

;)

man, why Les Paul?

i thought you're Metallica fan - so why don't ESP?

[osiris]

yes, like that :)))

i'm going on vacancy in a week and and go to the sea with my g/f - so wil take yamaha, not ibanez with me... :))

[osiris]

yeah, replacing pickups is a veeeeeery good idea :)
