My first one was an Ibanez that came in a kit with an amp and such. I think
it cost about $250.

mine was an old Ariana Acoustic I found in a hock shop for $50. I still
have it too.
Been trying to find out a bit more about it, all I know is it was made in
Japan, but I'd like to know when...

I bought a squire strat pack from fender it came with an affinity
strat,tuner ,strap, picks and a 15watt amp.
Not a bad deal at $280.
It even has headphones (so you don't piss everyone off at 2:00am) my wife
loves that part. ____________________

Is it better to get an accoustic, or an electric as your first guitar?
And do you have to go to a music shop or a guitar shop, or can you go
somewhere like Wal-mart (that's where I got mine) to get a good one? ____________________

My cheapest electric was a Japanese Telecaster for £50 second hand
Idiots didn't know what it was, thought it was a fake because it had "made
in Japan" on the back of the neck. FOOLS!
I think it's best to learn on an electric because of the lower string
tension, it'sa bit kinder to the finger tips. ____________________

The cheapest guitar I have wasn't bought by me. My mom bought it when she
was in college in England for...
*drum roll*
$7.50! It was a used classical guitar. It was her first guitar, and it was
my first.

When my father was working in a prison, as a teacher, he put a project to
turn prisoners into musicians. Anyway, long story short, after producing a
crap album one of the students gave him a Marlin Slammer as a thank you for
what he had done for them. My father, always an accoustic man, never used
it and gave it to me when I started to learn, still got it and it sounds
great.
So to answer the question, Marlin Slammer and FREE(my favorite price). ____________________

She got it at a place for used instrument store. This was about...25-30
years ago, though.
