Lee about the V - “So inappropriate for a beginner.” The first guitar I bought myself was a Gibson faded series Flying V. It was different and it was affordable, but I thought it was awesome. I was 15. It made me want to practice more often. Because of that, I logged hundreds of hours of practice within the first year of owning it.

My first real guitar was a ibanez V (vbt700) and since that day I always cringe when people say V don't work when siting down, or it's not good to start. A (symetrical) V is one of the best shape for sitting down. Stick it between your thighs, neck at an angle going up, giving you access to the whole neck without having your wrist having to bend at the high frets, the guitar stays put without even having your hands on it. This V and a bc rich warlock are the most ergonomic guitars I've played, the bc being even better (ergonomics wise). No the strandbergs and such might be the best All hail the V

My first guitar when learning (electric wise anyway) was an Encore Les Paul which got damaged when a cousin dropped it on concrete and smashed up the back, we filled it in and I kept using it. Stopped playing a few years ago (got it about 5 years before that) and just got the urge to start playing again and so I went to my local store and when I walked through the door this beautiful gretsch 2622t in Torino green caught my eye and I fell in love instantly. Massive thing, es 335 style body, centre block, bigsby licensed, couple of humbuckers. Absolutely in love and don’t put it down ever. I’m thinking a Fender Tele for my next one, have my eye on a beautiful Japan made on in arctic white with black binding and pickguard, 60s style, beautiful in the hands.

My first guitar that I owned was a ESP LTD V-50. I love that you hung to bits. Recently bought a squire bullet a couple years ago and now actually properly learning guitar

When I was 13 years old, I decided that I wanted to start playing guitar and taking lessons. My father went up to the attic and pulled out this absolutely terrible acoustic guitar that had the word "Contessa" written on the headstock. The action must have been 2 inches high off the fret board, but he said it was his from when he was young, so I assumed all guitars were supposed to be that way. When I showed up to my first lesson with it, my instructor was like: "yeah... you're not going to be able to learn anything on that," and the lesson was barely spent playing actual guitar and more about learning the basics out of a book. Disappointed, I went back home and told my father what happened, and from what I recall, he said something along the lines of: "yeah, I figured it would be awful, but now you're going to appreciate what I have to show you." He went back up to the corner section of the attic and pulled out this sparkly blue early 80s Fender Squier strat with a maple neck. Most people would assume "oh it's a Squier it must suck," but it was one of the better lessons he taught me, because I played the shit out of that guitar, and learned how to take good care of it. After playing for 16 years now, I can honestly say the really early Squiers are actually pretty darn good guitars. I still break it out from time to time when over-dubbing tracks and things like that. Great video though Rob and Lee! I definitely felt the feeling of nostalgia throughout this one!

The new ones (Affinity and Classic Vibe) are made in Indonesia and are actually great for the price. It had some fret sprouting, and the action was a bit high for me, but that was easy to fix and then bam, I got an amazing Butterscotch Blonde Tele for $150.00 and it sounds awesome. Feels great, plays great, and stays in tune surprisingly well (I will upgrade the tuners to Locking Tuners and gut the whole pickup section, tone pot, volume pot, and 3 way switch, and replace it with all Fender pots and switch, and get some double stacked single coils and some neck pickup I'd like, haven't chosen one yet, and also replace the input jack) and once I do the upgrades, it will basically be a Fender. Make sure to buy 2018 and up models do NOT buy anything older (unless it's a made in Japan series), or it will be completely shitty.

Most of the " middle ground" squires are REALLY REALLY Good instruments, vintage vibe, and vintage modified are typicly better than their fender equivalent and about 1/3rd the price. I think the "big names" in the guitar business have lost touch with their customer base.now it seems they make instruments that are more about brand recognition than customer satisfaction. Gibson is a great example.its all about how great the les paul was and how much it can do, and not about what we want from the les paul. God forbid you want something a little different, well aside from what they decide they want to bolt on top of it, i.e. the robot tuners disasters or the" sound like everyone elses guitars" system there putting in thr new ones. Meanwhile asking for more color options, a decent vibratto system, or even something like straplocks to come standard on high end models and you get a history lesson.

Also, my first guitar was a Superstrat copy with a small 10watt analog Kustom amp I inherited from my aunt from the mid 80s. Still keep It today, but stored away. It was terrible to play with! Floyd kept losing pressure and sent the action of the strings 4 metres from the fretboard...But... First guitar, sentimental value, etc. Then played an LP for the first time and fell in love, and never looked back. I will get It a proper set up sometime!

My first was a 1988 Black MIJ Strat with a Floyd and rosewood board from Guitar Center in San Jose, CA. First amp was a Peavey Bandit 112 with Scorpion Speaker and spring reverb.

The joy that Rob felt when he saw the Yellow guitar was beautiful. My first guitar was a Strat style with a sunburst finish from Radio Shack back in 2004. Since I'm a lefty I played it upside down but it got me started!

This was a great episode. Making all these players reminisce on their first days when inspiration was such a new thing, and everyone was so aw stricken with the love of this instrument. I still play my first guitar. Definitely does not look the same anymore though.

my first guitar was a Squire Strat. Being left handed there wasn't really much for my parents to choose from, i'd have liked a Les Paul but I was really into Hendrix around the time i started playing so i think that's why my parents got me a Strat.

Another great video guys. Always interesting when Chappers and the Captain get together just to chat guitars and reminisce. Taking up guitar today there are so many great choices available. When I began playing around 45 years ago you would be VERY lucky to find a budget guitar that stayed in tune for more than a few minutes. Build quality at the entry end of the market was absolutely awful. My first acoustic was a nylon string, classical/folk thing that was a bloody nightmare to play. You could have driven a truck under those strings! Today you would be hard pressed to find a bad guitar even amongst the cheapest of them. Great time to be a musician :)

Put's me in mind of an Encore bowl back acoustic I had back in the early 80's. It was a present from my mother and although it probably didn't cost a great deal and was not that great to play it meant a lot to me. My mother was an incredible woman, working three jobs, raising four young children on her own, my father had died when I was eight and my step father died when I was 14. She never had any money for herself so she probably took an extra job just to pay for that guitar. I learned all the basics on that Encore and I still had it up until a couple of years ago by which time it was completely unplayable. The gift of a guitar to a young person cannot be underestimated :)

When I walked in my coworker pointed to me and said “ He might buy it”. Anyway the guy says he has a les Paul for $200. In my mind I think oh damn it’s gonna be a cheap knock off that’s worthless, but at the same time I’m excited that it could be a great guitar for a steal. We walk outside and dude pulls a case out and it says epiphany and I think oh well I’ll at least look, but he opens it and it’s a beautiful brand new Ace Frehely cherry burst les Paul with lightning inlays and his face paint on the headstock and 3 humbuckers. For reference I had a nickelodeon boom box when I was 8 and only Kiss Alive on cd so I was excited to see this guitar. It played fantastic so I bought it. Got it home and plugged it into my old peavey butcher with 4x12 and it was the best sounding guitar I’d played up to that point. Incredible guitars.

I've been watching you guys for like 4-5 days and im binge watching all your old videos holy shit I love you guys

I recently ordered a Squier Contemporary HSS in that Ocean Blue! Can't wait for it to arrive! I was so excited to see it in this video

I found a website that calculates the current value of amounts in the past, and it said that £200 in 1988 would be worth £535 today. However, given the increase in availability and quality of cheap guitars, £300 is probably a reasonable budget for a beginner guitar today, and you can definitely get a very decent guitar at that price.

I have one of these, with the ibanez own edge something something fr-style tremolo and in HSH. Its a very decent guitar, good bang for your buck when you're into shredding superstrat style. The stock PUs are nothing special, better than the infamous Ibanez stock PUs, but nothing special, changed them for classic set of JB / 59 SDs. The finishing is kinda thicc polyethylen though, so even with the finish of the wood being gourgeous, it looks kinda cheap in person compared to one of the more expansive Ibanez. The neck is wicked, though, kinda beefy for a RG tbh, but I really like that.

Just discovered this video so I doubt anyone will read this but did you notice how quick Rob got rid of the black Yamaha when he saw the yellow? That was genuine excitement. Fun to watch.

This just brought me so much joy to see

Whenever i learn a guitar song i make sure that the song has a guitar technique i havent learned yet, the important part is you have to LOVE the song since i would play the shit out of it till i get it perfect and its a win win, i learn a new song and a new technique. Currently at sweeping.

My first electric guitar was an Ibanez Gio GRX40 (came with the Jumpstart package) that I got in 2006 I believe, and even though I now also have a '93 Japanese-made Ibanez SV470 (wonderful guitar), I still have that Chinese-made Gio, and I still love it. It may have been cheap, but it plays wonderfully.

My first guitar was a cheap €40 Lidl guitar that I stole off my sister. It was years old, strings hadn't been changed and was covered in paint and was terrible. But I still have it

That was a really sweet moment when Chappers got the guitar :) Hope Miguel enjoys his guitar.

This is one of my favorite videos you two made together

Dat yellow Yamaha is awesome

My first guitar was a 1967 Teisco Decca single pickup model. It had a Les Paul sized neck on a Duo Sonic sized body. It was my great uncle's before he passed. The electronics are shot, but I adore it so much.

Great story... Miguel, nice work!

Welcome to Andertons. Where we zoom in on Lee's package every week.

How about a new vs second hand video or where they assemble their first gigging rig

Watching Rob's joy at seeing the yellow Yamaha made my day. With the pandemic isolation we are going through now, it was so good to see that. My first guitar was a total piece of junk that wouldn't hold a tune and was impossible even for my instructor to play. My parents ran out of lesson money after a few months and I lost interest. Twenty years later I bought a Mexican Strat, but once again I was unsuccessful making any progress.I really didn't understand how much work I would have to put into getting any good. My son picked up a guitar was progressed quickly. I didn't and got discouraged. I sold it after just a little while. Now, at 56 I am practicing on a cheap acoustic daily and actually making some progress. And shopping for an electric guitar. I am scared to buy one without holding it first though, and all of the stores are closed. When they open again, I will be buying something. Who knows what.

Hey shoutout to my dude Miguel!! This was a great vid! I too like Lee started w a bass as I played the orchestral bass and was familiar w reading the music, but also was bored w no band! Grabbed a Les Paul Special-II from epiphone and was great learning on that! Have since purchased a Slash Epi and last year a full fat Gibson Les Paul Studio 2018 which I love! Now I’ve ventured into Fender land w a Mexican Strat! Nothing quite as relaxing as noodling w your guitar

Yamaha Pacifica SSH, shortly followed by a Gibson 135, Cherry with White Binding. Was in the 90's.

Oh I agree; I just did a !four-hour! setup on my nephew's Walmart "Davison" that made it playable for the 1st time ever. Hopefully he will actually start to learn and enjoy it now. Also had a talk with all the relatives about how awful instruments lead to non-musicians.

31:25 you guys left in a "shit" ;) Rob's yellow Yamaha is seriously beautiful, though

My first guitar was given to me by my grandmother before she passed it’s a late 1960’s American made Kalamazoo. ❤️

Really love the videos and love All About the Bass because I don’t feel we get enough love in the wild. Wish you all were in the States. Keep up the great work. Thanks M.

my first guitar i built myself with some cardboard and rubber bands as strings, it was amazing wow didnt expect such success from this comment, guys i have an idea: lemme know if youd like to see a video where i try and build a cardboard guitar again with my current knowledge and perhaps get a chord out of it? like, if this comment gets to 200ish like i could probably come up with something :D edit: THE VIDEO IS UP GUYS! its just the first episode for now but I'm going to post every week to update the project so be sure to check out the video and sub to stay updated :)

B.S.P , fell apart in a week or so ;_______;

Korean Strat around 1990, that has got to be A Young Chang of later Fenix fame. Fenix copped fender hard and made some great Strat copies under the Fenix name, as they did the Squier range, and Fender i guess by the look of it.

Lee, You are a true brother. That's awesome that you got Rob the yellow one.

My first electric guitar was an Epiphone SG (G400). Still have it and I love to play it. It just feels so easy to play and so versatile. Honestly it was just the sweet spot for sound, feel and value.

wow- Rob's guitar sounds like every other guitar he has ever played on here, by diming up the gain he manages to make 20,000 pound LesPauls sound like 60 pound Yamahas- it is magic (Magik)

My first guitar was a dean Razorback in Black. cost my family $400 and got it for my 8th birthday I felt like a badass with that guitar. Unfortunately it was stolen at my school after doing a school performance 😢

Darrell Middleton the guitar was in a hard case. The way the school was built was the hall where the performance was being held was literally only a few meters from the car park so I would say that after I put the guitar away in its case and went to go and join the audience the person would of just snatched it and put it in the car. Even know it sucked it turned out better got a better guitar a week or so after

Unfortunately I don't have my first EVER guitar, a little Jasmine. But I do still have my first electric, a red Yammy Beach Banana, a SC300T. Hell, I still have all of my early electrics. In order of acquisition... 87 red Yamaha SC300T 93 blackJackson JR94 Concept Randy Rhoads V (Yes, was amazed when I found out what I actually bought for just 250$US which also included an authentic Jackson hard case, it was and is still in mint condition!) My first Strat type is an Austin AU731 Tobacco-Burst that was owned by a local Luthier, thus had a nice setup and is in mint condition. My first Les Paul is a mint 2014 Agile AL-3010 in the old Oceanburst (not the newer, and might I add, uglier "Oceanburst" they're offering lately) Austin AU766 Sunurst LP copy, that was owned by a local performing guitarist. Somewhat a beater but plays quite nicely. Bought to beat on while saving my mint AL3010 for special occasions. Black Yammy EG112 ST-type bought to beat on while saving my mint AU731. LTD AX50 in silver. My first metal guitar (aside the JRR94) which was quickly replaced but will be a project guitar for later. Black Peavey Predator Plus Strat copy that is my first Floyd Rose. Still needs work as it came with bad output jack and for some unknown durned reason he painted the black hardware white with what looks like white-outs (liquid correction fluid). An Epiphone Limited Edition Genesis DX Pro in Transparent Black. My first SG style, bought as a shop floor model, but still had most of the factory stickers and tags on it. Ibanez XH300 Halberd in dark gray. It's my replacement metal guitar while the ax50 is in pieces for restification.The XH300 is my first active pickups. And what I nicknamed my FrankenBass, someone else's project bass guitar. A red crate body with jazz bass style pickups mated to a Fender neck. It's my first bass electric. It's in such bad shape that I'm going to be redoing this guy all over. But in meantime I'm currently working on getting a black Schecter Deluxe-4 to play on. I have 3 other electric guitars that are basket case vintages that are in queue on the restify project list. All are 60s era small makes. A Swinga SG-type, a Western ST-type, and an Artisan hybrid ST/LP-type. Except for the Western (which just needs restringing), they were missing strings, nut, and all hardware. However the Swinga retained it's original metal pickguard. Except for the AU766, AX50, and the EG112 and the 3 vintage project guitars, the other guitars are all first for me in one way or another. First real guitar, first electric, first Strat, first LP, first SG, first Floyd, first active pickups, first metals, etc. Unless you want to count the two basket cases to be my first vintages, lol, which I bought together for just 15$US each!

Spinnifuchs , wanna maybe sell it to me? I've always wanted to build an Ibanez collection to go with my Artist AM75 semi-acoustic hollowbody (my first gitter)

I have a brand new 2018 Gibson SG and I have a 1982 Telecaster. The old guitar feels better. I am not convinced that older guitars are necessarily better but I believe that guitars age and improve like a good wine. I have 15 guitars of different ages and I am totally convinced that the longer the wood has been a guitar and gradually setup better, the better the guitar becomes. I have a 1979 Strat and I owned a 1979 Strat in 1980, the present Stratocaster is way better than my original in 1980. My first guitar was a Hondo 2 Strat copy, it was awful!!!

Love these kinds of videos

Lee your solo in the opening of the video had to have been your best yet!! That practice is paying off 👍
