Easy there, Tex. I'm sure a few folks could say the same thing about your lengthy discussion of martial arts on this guitar forum.....but have the manners not to say so. We all stray now and then.... so lighten up a bit.

I have started to get up in years and was looking for another hobby to keep me going. Having returned from my first Japanese working holiday with some disposable cash I went to my local shop and brought home a Mexican Strat that was some sort of special edition and a little Crate amp. It was a decent starter guitar and I quickly learned I have no real talent. So I just bulldogged ahead and kept printing out more tab's to learn my favorite rock tunes. Off to China I went then and it went along. More free time and more tabs; when I returned to Texas I up traded to an American strat. Oh, on the way home I stopped in Tokyo and picked up an Ibanez J-custom. My bonus to myself for working overseas (again)
So I am back in J-land for another working adventure and jumped in head first in the GAS. I did the Fujigen factory tour too, super cool.
I think it is about over now and I need to stop spending so much cash. It is time to sit back to hours of practice and enjoying the effort.

My first guitar was a Fender Telecaster which I got from my uncle.
I raped it over the years and refinished it, installed a humbucker and eventually smashed it. It was older than my uncle...Oooooops.

8) ok mike. i just wanted to post a good pic here that reminds us of
our good old practice years. so not to bother you........
wonder how many british guys had been like him in the pic
since EC and JB and all of them came out in the 60s........
i was only 16 when i first heard of the beano album and me and
my buddy practiced a lot then. we didnt go to school enough
after that and the records were our text books instead.
we were trying to form the blues band called "the midnight ramblers"
from one of the rolling stones songs like they did from muddy waters
songs. it never be the reality but sure those were the days
if i remember it now........wonder where all the guys around us
then went to after that. it was around 1989........

The Midnight Ramblers - cool name. 8)
At the risk of upsetting lots of people, I was never a big fan of the Mayall/Clapton Beano album. I played it a couple of weeks ago, & it's OK..... Same with Peter Green - I don't think he played at his best with Mayall. Guess I don't really like John Mayall much!
I suppose I should duck now, to avoid what's going to be thrown at me by various members! :lol:

Okay.... I take it back. I put one up over on the martial arts solo topic.
My first guitar was a 1958 Hofner Colorama, the double double pickup model No. 444 in metallic red with a gold top. I painted it black and, shortly after that, I smashed it up as I was a teenager in 1970 with famous guitar smashers for role models. If you read the Hofner ad it says they are virtually indestructible. :lol:
It was later reassembled by my friend Electric John who was a serial guitar smasher and therefore skilled at rebuilding guitars. I purchased this guitar for ?10 from a dusty little curiosity shop owned by Oscar who had played violin as a boy in his father's silent cinema.
My first amp was a Selmer Treble and Bass Mark IV 50 watt with the Goliath cabinet.

My first guitar was a kay (stratish )style bloody terrible sound , unuseable trem . But it had a great neck (after my sisters woolworths acousic 13-48 rusty strings , with the action from a dobro.) came with a 5watt 1 x 10" speaker & it sounded like a combe & paper kazoo .

It cost ?25 all in & i walked home like a rock star
sold it some years later to a guitar teacher (he only wanted the neck for a project build) for ?25
then bought a columbus les paul (like johnA) spent a fortune on it di-mazio
pick ups grover m/heads cts pots .gave it to my nephew
