I had a Strat copy for my first guitar. I ended up trading it for an RG550 that I still have.
What was you’re first guitar?

An Arbor LP copy. Yes that one, out of a Sears Christmas catalog.
I was 14. 1981.

Fuck yeah - Hondo baby! My first 6 string was a terrible Hondo Flying V that had been passed around 4 or 5 of my high school friends, abused more each time. It started red, then yellow (spray paint?) , then black, then black & yellow tiger stripes (house paint??), then mercifully belt sanded to bare wood & left unfinished. Friend's machinist father helped us install a bottom of the line Kahler tremolo (because FUCK YEAH WHAMMY BAR, WOOOHOO) despite absolutely no understanding of luthier techniques, routed it free hand on kitchen table, miraculously it resulted in marginally acceptable action & intonation that was about on par with the factory hardtail. Pretty sure his dad could have made a particle accelerator if we brought him a Morley wah. That garbage V was what I learned to go from bass to 6 string, 2 years later I gave it to another unsuspecting victim when I got my 79 LP, which I still own. There's a dead patch of grass in a landfill somewhere where the Hondo is buried, RIP.

I had one of these.
El Degas Les Paul copy
I mean, I so appreciated the guitar because I got my start at playing on it, had my first gig with it, but I hated this particular guitar with a passion!
One of our relatives had it and my folks bought it for me from them along with a glorius Darius D12 amp which was equally as despicable.
Had to start somewhere and that was it. Forever grateful to my folks for getting me this at 10 years old. It was a lot easier to play then the acoustic that I play for the 2 years previously.

My first guitar was an Aria Pro II "The Cat" but traded Rob Keeley straight up for his Ibanez Roadstar II. Here I am playing it in Taegu Korea' practicing with my first band playing Cinderella songs, lol
Dude, I traded Robert Keeley my Aria Pro II "The Cat" for his Ibanez Roadstar II. I think it was a bit different from that one but maybe not. Here is a pic of me in Taegu Korea playing it at a show
