I've been playing since I was 13, I'm 36 now.
I was having free double bass lessons in school but got kicked out for messing around. Asked for a bass guitar for Christmas, learnt to play that for a but then asked for an acoustic guitar for my birthday.
Was a massive Oasis fan when I was in school in the 90's so started learning all their tunes. Then I got a squire strat which was superb to learn on. Can still play most of the oasis songs now!! Learnt Barr chords this way as bonehead played nothing but barr chords!
For me I really enjoyed playing and I remember playing that opening to Shakermaker and was amazed that it sounded exactly like the CD. I never saw it as a chore as well and before long I was learning all sorts of stuff. Joined a band when I was 15 and we played a few gigs in pubs etc back home in Wales.
Recently found a few pals in my work who also played but I found that although they were good players they had zero confidence playing in front of other people so the Jam was pretty poor. Planning on having another one soon.

What guitar does everyone play BTW?
I've got a Fender strat (Mexican) and a Epiphone SG (cherry red). I've also got an acoustic (tanglewood) that my pal gave me for free and a number of guitairas back in Wales Including Squire bass and a couple of Squire strats.

I've a all black Gibson SG Standard - I'm crap at playing it but it's a lovely piece of kit to have 😁
I imagine if I ever win the lottery and buy a supercar it'll be similar. I won't be any better a driver but I'll look cool as ....

Good stuff.
Can't justify buying a Gibson SG or Les Pau don't play enough and only play at home so the epiphone is fine for that.
Want to get an epiphone, casino, dot or Sheraton next. Something semi.

Anyway, I’ve heard some pretty poor reviews regarding build quality and their necks felt weird when I tried them in guitar guitar. Lovely looking things but what’s fir you won’t go by you...

Yamaha ERG-121. Want a Les Paul though. It’ll be interesting if the impending bankruptcy of Gibson will have any impact on the cost of Gibsons (and Epiphones for that matter).
Also on the hunt for a new acoustic as my old one (a classical guitar) is finished. When changing the high E string it gets to B when I’m tuning it then snaps at the bridge between B and E. Tried various different strings, I think there must be some rough bit in the bridge that I can’t get to sand down that is causing it. It was only cheap.

Gibson SG 50s tribute
Fender Duo Sonic
Also a 3/4 size Freshman acoustic which is a brilliant guitar for the money.
Much prefer the aesthetics of Fenders, especially Jaguars. But the SG is just so much easier to play due to the wider neck, especially for stuff with a lot of string bends, so the Fender barely gets a look in

Putting my bass guitar onto hib-bay tomorrow at some point to fund another accoustic, selling it along with amp, leads, distortion pedal, boss electric tuner & Hal Leonard books. Its a cracking bass for learning, in perfect condition so if anyone is interested or know of anyone interested give me a shout.
Ps-Its a left handed bass 👍

When I was 17 I couldn’t afford decent gear. Bought my first bass for under £50 in Boston’s dodgy second hand shop on Leith Walk. An all black SG copy (no make). Cobbled together bits and pieces of amps/speakers when joined a band. Now... 36 years later I’ve built up a decent collection but no band. Plenty bargains out there on the likes of gumtree if you’re patient.

I got a Squiere Bullet Stratocaster last year, it's a nice guitar - easy to play and ideal for me (who, despite having owned a guitar for years, is still pish).
Years ago I had a US Fender Strat, it was beautiful, but I had to sell it to get out a bad financial situation at the time (19 and lots of debt wasn't a great idea).
If I ever eventually get good enough at guitar to justify the spend, I'm going to replace that guitar.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)

Looking to part with mine....
Surf green with mint green pick guard.
Could probably give you it at a bit of a bargain price.

I've been needing a new acoustic for a couple of months now. The high E string snaps whenever you get it past B when tuning it. I think there must be something sharp in the bridge or something.
Anyway, I ordered this cheapo electro-acoustic the other night.
It is just for mucking around on but I've read and watched some really good reviews about Harley Benton guitars regarding relative quality for the price. Harley Benton is basically the own-brand of the German music retailer Thomann.
