Okay here's my list:
My first guitar (1968) was a Japanese electric that looked quite like a Gibson 335.It came with a small Kay amp which I still have.The guitar self destructed in about six months literally.
Second on the list is my beloved Hagstrom 3 (1969) in Robins egg blue.Back around 1971 I decided it needed two humbucker pickups rather than the 3 single coils.About twenty years later I remodeled it again with 3 single coils and a nice new pickguard. Still have it, including the hang tags and original bill of sale.It's been played so much in the "A" position it actually has ruts in the neck,but the neck is still straight as an arrow,far exceeding Hagstrom's ten year neck guarantee.
Next would be my Jay Turser 335 knockoff in tobacco sunburst.Yeah I know it's made in China but a fine instrument for the money.
Another Jay Turser,they call The Delta Lady,kinda a cross between a Tele and a Les Paul in Green quilt top.They don't make this one anymore as far as I know and with all the interest in off brand guitars I'll keep this one.
Next is my MIM 60th anniversary model Fender Strat.First guitar I've owned with a maple neck.
My acoustic is a 1974 Guild Jumbo.I bought this guitar in 1994 as new.The guitar sat in storage for twenty years due to a legal battle between the children of the music store's owners who died in a car accident.I originally went to purchase an Ovation guitar,however the salesman pointed to the Guild and told me if I played it I would buy it.He was right! He also told me if I ever wanted to sell it he would buy it back full price.Ain't gonna happen.
Lastly I have my Grandfather's pre war Gretsch Electromatic.
There have been a few more but not worth mentioning except for and old Stella acoustic that I painted red white and blue way before Buck Owens did.Still have this one too.This was my beater guitar the one that went camping,to the beach etc.
