I started out with a cheap Samick Stratocaster copy. A horrible horrible guitar, but it helped me get started when money was non existent.
I then moved onto an Ibanez SA160QM, a much better guitar, but still not overly fantastic.
Recently I bought a second hand Schecter C1 Blackjack, and I’m really happy with it. It’s far better than the other two on all levels. It’s got real seymour duncans on it, a string through body type bridge, and a very nice solid feel to it.
I still have all of these guitars.
