Gino Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 For me, that would be the guitars played on three live-albums I listened to all the time:Stones: Get Yer Ya Yas out - would be pre-Tele-Keef's LP Custom or Standard and Mick Taylor's SGTaste: Live at the Isle of Wright - Rory's stratWho: Live at Leeds - Pete Townsend's SG Special.My first electric was a used 60s (Italian made) EKO V 500 sparkle blue top and all(!!) MOP back.My first real guitar was a 1972 Fender Tele Custom with factory installed Bigsby that our drummer bought on loan for me, as I was still in high school. Traded it 2 years later for a 65' Gibson ES 330.Gino
Tokyo Tapes Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 There're three guitars that made me want to play: Andy Scott's cherry ES-335 Ace's Three pickup Les Paul Van Halens Black and white striped Strat.
KH Guitar Freak Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Hamer Diablo II intially... but soon it will be a toss up between the ESP KH2 Vintage, Hamer Diablo II, or Line 6 Variax 700...
Steve Haynie Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 I started with a banjo. Seeing a smoking Les Paul played by a space man made me switch to guitar.
BONEDADYO Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Framptons 3 PU 1954 LP custom hands down. As a kid, I studied every single detail, curve, & knob on that album! Now I own one....
mudshark Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Joe Maphis used to play this big ol' blonde Gibson SJ 200 on the old Town Hall Party television show when I was a kid...that was the one.
zorrow Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Brian May's Red Special. I spent hours watching at a picture of his guitar while listening to Queen. I wanted one even before I started playing! The picture was something like this: Later on I realized it is too much of his and started falling in love with Les Pauls, but my bandmate already had one, so I tried Flying Vees and got hooked forever.
robbie Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Springteen's telecaster on the Born to Run cover... later it was also basically the same guitar the Dave Pirner played while SA was coming up, that did it for me. My first electric? Fender Telecaster.

killerteddybear Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Ringo's drumkit, circa 1966.Never touched drums as it turns out.Rocktuna started to play guitar in our early teens, and since I couldn't copy him I went straight to bass. Then I would say it was Mel Schacher's P-Bass.Later on when I tried to play guitar it was the Les Paul that gave me the woody...
