Got my first acoustic around 7th grade, and a Tele in maybe 8th. There weren't any pics back then as far as I recall.

But by...must have been 2008-2009, I caught the AGF bug. Then came Les Paul's and Strats. I think these are a Yamaha Studio Lord 500 and a Squier Strat that I wrote my first 'good' pop punk song on. Then about 70 more guitars came and went...literally.

Are you playing air guitar in that first pic? with full on Pick hand and guitar face :)
That is exactly what is happening in that pic.

Pretty sure I was describing a song, and I was like "You know the part that goes like this..."

About half a second later I looked at the Les Paul. :)

Proof that you play guitar? I was thinking you only collect them :)
I've been known to strum a few cowboy chords on occasion...

This isn’t the oldest in existence but the oldest I can readily find from google images. I searched an old now deleted photo hosting tag name of mine..

I think this is the only pic of me with a guitar, around 2006.

Love that! I know I'm not supposed to, but that HK is great. I'd get one if they weren't so stupidly priced now.

I got mine pretty much brand new for $100. It's got a Seymour Duncan Distortion pickup, pink strings and a pink speed knob that goes to 11 now. :D

Lol Johnny if you look closely, you'll see I wrote that. Nomadh's original post did not. :D

I'll up the ante with a video from the 80s of me playing my first proper guitar through a Marshall 75 Reverb SS amp...until my grandma comes to tell me to turn it down Image
