Thanks🎸

Your dad is a hero! Beautiful guitar.

I remember this guitar. I think it was 95-96, you came to our house and you were jamming with my brother (Dimitris with the yellow ibanez). Back then our small house in Papafi, was something like a jamming session room! I was mesmerized that a15-16 year old kid could play so well. Nice memories !

Μπράβο στον πατέρα σου που έβλεπε πολύ μπροστά. Χίλια μπράβο και σε εσένα που έκανες την κίνηση του να αξίζει!

His dad made a great investment. Shout out to all the parents out there.

Χίλια μπράβο στον πατέρα σου και χίλια σε εσένα!!! Από τις καλύτερες επενδύσεις 1200 δολαρίων που έχουν γίνει μπάϊ δεν γουέϊ...

You've got a great Dad. Don't ever take him for granted you're so lucky.

Dude! That's a sick first guitar!

Beautiful guitar!Your dad is a legend

Thats awesome Gus. Our parents are our best friends. Something I have learned in my 53 years.

Ίσως από τις λίγες φορές που ένα παιδί αγοράζει μια ακριβή κιθάρα και του αξίζει! Κώστα πρεπει να περάσουμε μυνήματα στα νέα παιδια ότι και μια φτηνή δεν είναι κακή κιθάρα. Η αγαπη κάνει μια κιθάρα να έχει αξία, αλλιώς είναι έπιπλο.

Is this the guitar that is to see in the booklet of Between Heaven and Hell“👀

Yes!

My first electric guitar was a 1983 BC Rich Bich I got new in 1983 when I was 13 years old. The color was ultra-violet which was a flip flop type pinkish purple lol. Had Kahler trem on it with DiMarzio Super Ds. Sadly I was playing a show at a club one night and it was stolen. Miss it so dearly. Glad you still have yours!

This has me remembering my dad buying me a used rg 550 ( first guitar) in 1995 or so and i will never sell it, thanks dad (rip)

You have an awesome dad Gus. Hopefully you returned the favor when you broke it big.

Bravo Baba! Mine is a fender acoustic ..Now I have a Gud G. Jackson .. lol

Man, I love listening to and watching you play! That was some beautiful stuff bro!

Gus, that's beautiful it still looks like new. Great history right there!

Thank you for sharing this story! Great first guitar

Thanks for sharing your story Gus. This kind of video really makes my day. Ten minutes of storytelling and jaming, great stuff 🔥🔥

Love it. I still have my first guitar. A Memphis Strat copy that I played to death and wore the frets out. Sitting in my studio now. I'll never get rid of it. Awesome video, Gus.

Ελα ρε συ, τη θυμαμαι αυτην σε μια φωτογραφια σου στο metal hammer πριν απο 800 χρονια καπου στη φαση που μολις ειχες φυγει απο Ελλαδα. Μπραβο που την εχεις κρατησει τοσο προσεγμενη, οι περισσοτεροι δεν εχουμε καν την πρωτη μας κιθαρα. 👍

I still have my first electric guitar, a Azalea Stratocaster black since 2008 and still work it with D tuning. And my acoustic guitar Tenson since 2007 than my Dad bought me to play in my music class in the school.

I also had a floyd rose equipped guitar early on (although it wasn't my first guitar but my second one), I remember the first time I tuned it, I didn't know how it worked and messed up the whole tuning and didn't know how to get it back in tune 😂

Such a cool story! Props to your dad, he knew that you will become a beast of a guitar player 🤘

GUS I see why you treasure this Fender guitar so much, beautiful and the meaning behind it even better.( I LOVED TO HEAR YOU PLAYING FROM A PERSONAL LEVEL AGAIN).My first guitar was a Fender candy apple red Strat in 1975 (I THINK A LATE 60'S MODEL) when I was 15 years old.I was turned on to Black Sabbath that summer and some older guys started teaching me lots of Sabbaths riffs and songs and we played the old Sabbath cassettes in their cars at night cruising the small little summer town of North Carolina that I was in for the summer! THX for sharing!!!💯👀🔥🔥

Rosewood fretboard is one of the best ever made. One hell of a Father and an incredibly inspirational gift/Father❤

Beautiful guitar and sound!

That was a great gift from your father. My first Electric Guitar back in the early 80’s was a very very cheap Les Paul Custom Copy. It was not a good quality. My second guitar was a Ibanez, this one was OK. I sold them a long time ago.

That's awesome, really cool to learn and see you play your first guitar. My first guitar was a Hohner Rockwood LX90L which is a strat copy budget guitar. A friend of mine had it and never played it so he just gave to me at 20 years old. It was such a gift as I always wanted to.learn to play. Once he gave it to me, I had to.learn... now at 37 I am grateful for that gift. I still play my original guitar sometimes and this year I plan to do some upgrades to the pickups and add a humbucker on the bridge as well as getting it professionally setup. Like you I will always keep my original first guitar!

Awesome guitar Gus, I love it! My first guitar was a 1981 Gibson Les Paul Custom (Tobacco Sunburst) and I still have it. I've been collecting guitars more recently but the first one always will be special to me. Keep rockin' Gus, you are awesome!

Gus, you are my idol. I have even started vacationing in Greece (not this past year) because of you and I plan to move from the USA to the south side of Athens in a few years. Black straws only with the frappes because of you. Rock on, brother!!!

awesome .love it

Sounds killer man! What an awesome guitar! Youre Dad rules!!!

Oh so lovely ❤

An instrument reveals it's awesomeness only in right hands!! 🤘

I just found one exactly like that (Left handed though) that I fell in love with. Gonna pick it up soon.

That guitar playthrough was just too good

WoW what a great sound ... nice clean

Man, I got my first guitar just this month, a Fender Strat sunburst , and I love it, it's my first guitar so the learning curve is a bit high but I am having a lot of fun atm and trying to keep motivated, your video makes me feel like keep practicing , Thanks! :)

Ευγνωμοσύνη κι αναγνώριση στον αξιόλογο άνθρωπο τον πατέρα σου! Εύγε εις αμφοτέρους.

Cool Video Gus! Indeed a very good guitar for beginners. My first one was a Squier Strat for like 200 bugs back in 95. i sold it after two years to get a Jackson RR. I still own that Jackson and never tried any other brands since hahaha

Cool story! Thanks for sharing!

Can’t beat the strat sound !

Amazing guitar and musician!!! Dear @GusG, we love you and your music playing! Greetings from Bulgaria! From: Mr. Boyan :-)

Thanks for showing 👍🤘 verry nice guitar 🎸

I have this same guitar, only in black. I love it🤘🏻

that was amazing! so cool of you to share those memories with us, man! wow! when you play that guitar its you 15 years old all over again! I wish I would have never gotten rid of my first guitar, it was a G&L legacy, I got it for a 100 dollars and got rid of it for a low end Jackson dinky reverse just because I wanted to be cool like megadeth and I had to have a Jackson because that's what Dave and Marty played lol! that's how 15 year old kids think sometimes lol! thanks for the memories Gus, Your Dad is super cool, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

yah, I still have my first guitar. A 2003 Japanese Jackson Dinky. Bought more guitars over the years, but doesn't fall behind any of them. Learnt everything with her, from playing to set ups. Had the whole thing teared apart and modified by myself. Still rock solid.

Awesome guitar 🎸

Amazing 🤩

I love your new jackson sd1 guitar

I OWN MY FIRST GUITAR AND I STILL MAKING MODIFICATIONS TO HER TILL THIS DAY. IT'S AN EPIPHONE SG 400-PRO. I VE GOT MY OTHER IBANEZ GUITAR, SUPER SHREDDY AND ALL THAT STUFF, BUT EVERY TIME I GRAB MY SG IT IS LIKE GOING BACK HOME. I AM SURE YOU KNOW THE FEELING. ΓΕΙΑ ΣΟΥ ΡΕ GUS ΑΛΆΝΙ!

Killer axe! Even better story.

Φοβερή και μεγάλη αγάπη η Fender Κώστα μπράβο!!!

I still have my first guitar that I bought back in 1982. An Arbor Les Paul. Still all original. Same pickups. Never been changed.

Nice guitar and video thanks 👍

That guitar sounds great! My first guitar was a white Stratocaster, I don’t have it anymore, sold it so I could get a Jackson Soloist that I still have.

Μπράβο Κώστα! Μας δίνεις δύναμη να προχωράμε!

Im glad that you still have that guitar! the thing i regret most in my life is that i sold my first electric guitar, it was an old Levin Strat and it played so smooth and clean. So i think the phrase "young and stupid" fiths very well in why it's not here with me today. . /Lars

You are very organized playing. Very good!

Wow that is some smoking hot guitar playing!

I'm an American born Greek, I don't know if that has something to do with it... You are by Far my favorite guitarist and human and there are some super talented guitarists who are good people out there today. But you my friend are top* notch.🤘🙌🙌🙌

I'm keeping my yamaha pacifica for my son. Hoping that one day he will love it like Gus G did with his!

My first guitar was a KH2 from Grass Roots. Back then it was the low budget line from ESP. We had a small ESP Customshop in our town and my father went with me there and bought it for me. I was so happy! From this day I was addicted to guitar. P.S.: This guitar also had a licensed Floyd Rose on it and I learned to hate that system with time. Now any guitar I buy must have an Evertune! A real epiphany to me! *lol*

I have heard people who love, and people who hate, the evertune bridge. I am attracted to Solar guitars and noticed a number of them come with evertune's. Is it hard to restring them or something? I will try and find a video here on KZread about it.

@Ethersis

@@saltpeter7429 It´s not hard. It´s the same as a fixed bridge. Evertune is really simple and has just one downside. It has less sustain than a fixed bridge. For me it´s not a Problem. If you see the Videos on my channel you´ll see that I do not run out of sustain but you better know that before.

Such a cool pickup configuration for a Stratocaster!

Μπραβο λεβεντη μου! Να εισαι παντα γερος και σ ευχαριστουμε που μας κανεις περηφανους ως Ελληνες!

Φοβερή κιθάρα και ακόμα πιο φοβερός ο πατέρας σου που σου έκανε αυτή τη δωράρα!!

Very cool Gus! I have a PAF PRO IN MY SQUIRE. Sounds good!

I think that it’s GREAT that you still have your first guitar! Sadly, while I still have my first acoustic guitar, I don’t have my first electric.

Always loved those Dave Murray Floyd strats 🤘😝🤘

Awesome guitar 👍

I still have my second guitar (the 1st was a no name called Lamba) which I consider as the first! I was 16 years old and was a brand new fender stratocaster bought by the money I collected from the carols in resent years

My first guitar was a metallic red Japanese strat with Schaller tremolo. My dad bought as well 🙂

What a dad Gus! Hope you nick-named one of your axes after him and thanks for sharing.

Nice geetar! I still have my first electric and yeah there’s a bond you develop with them. Peace

Awesome guitar! My first guitar was a Kramer Baretta as i was 16 years old! Now i am 64 and i have some different Guitars! My most playing guitar is a Jackson Scott ian signatur. Greetings from Frankfurt germany!

Those albums with Dream Evil are amazing.

still soungs amazing

First guitar was an ESP LTD EX - 50 that i put a EMG 81 in the bridge, it was stolen, one day from my car. Its sister an M-100FM is still with me as my oldest but without pickups at the moment. Just scored an Edwards Alexi Pink Sawtooth that im getting his EMG put in, I have your Red LTD - 200 with Lace Alumitone Deathbucker and regular in, thinking about putting your signatures in at some point.

Cool guitar nice tone!

Geez. Your first guitar was cool ! Mine was a horrendous Squier starter pack where if I bent a string I'd see the tuning peg unwind.

Gus G. rules! 🤘 I wish I still had my first bass. I bought it back in 1988, it was a Kramer Aerostar ZX70, I couldn't afford a good bass amp, so I ended up getting a Gorilla TC 35 guitar amp. It was called The Tube Cruncher. I'm thinking about buying them both from Reverb next month. It was a great bass to learn with.

Πραγματικα υπεροχος χαρμα για τα αυτια μας 😍

GREAT EVEN AT THE BEDROOM LEVEL MAN SHOUT FROM CROATIA!

Awesome video..

Yeap I know that 1...cause I happen 2 have the same 1... mine is a 2000 reissue, swapped out the pups 4 my favorite super distortion in the bridge, area 61 middle & a virtual vintage heavy blues 2 in the neck...my 1st love as well 🎸💣🤘!!!

Awesome video. I'm catching up on your channel so I just saw this today. My first guitar was a black 1994 Fender USA Strat. Just single coils. I still have it but don't play it much. I will never sell this. Why? Because like you said too many great memories. I gigged with this guitar and played lots of SRV and Hendrix. I actually used it for a Halloween costume and went as Jimi Hendrix with a mini amp. I was performing all night. Crazy fun. If I only had pics and videos.

Watching You Play Totally Amazes me!! I Watch and Share a Lot of your Videos!!~

My first Guitar was a 1970's Giannini steel string Acoustic. My second Guitar was my First electric. A black Charvel 100 model super Strat with the dual humbucker EMG's, with the Fender style tremelo and the reverse pointy Headstock. For amplification I bought a used Create 200w dual channel combo amp.

I still have my first guitar i bought back in 93 . Its a Jackson Kelly still.looks pretty new.

A great father, a greater son!

Duncan pick ups are bad ass

Hi GuG!! Beautiful sentiment behind this awesome guitar!! 😊appreciate you’share this with us. And you re great full feelings towards ya Dad! ! That Stays! Yea! ❤️ the sound you pull out this 🎸 and your pro fingers running trough those strings! Are like the sound of a waterfall 😅 My 1st guitar was a cheap acoustic one but then we had the ‘real deal.. Les Paul!! This one costed about 2000 florin lol😂 about €800 nowadays. we jammed in coffee shops ( our own shops) I was about 16 years ol, young😂but then about 14 ye ago it was stolen after my partner died. We’ve seen a lotta shows but i didn’t pickup another one for ‘real’ who knows... ❤🎼⚡️

Reminds me of the Gloomy Daydreams video. Would be cool to see you playing this one sometimes, sure Jackson won’t mind as they’re in the fender family.

Fantastic! I have a Fender Stratocaster myself, same colour body, maple fingerboard. Mine doesn't have the Floyd or humbuckers, though. They are shred monsters, though I'm no shredder. Lol Great story & love the neo-classical links.

the guitar is cool Gus🤩🤩

My first guitar was 100 euro and came with a book, a tuner, an amp, plecks, strap and music stand so it wasn't the greatest guitar! It was a strat shape in black called an SX traditional hand made... I swapped it for a pedal a couple of years later when I got me second guitar an ltd ex 50! I love that guitar to this day! Bought it in 2004!

I have one of the Dave Murray Strat Signature guitar, It has a Floyd and 2 hot rails. It sounds so good for everything. I mostly Death Metal riffs on it lol.
