Well I see someone back there owned as there first guitar one from the same company as me, that been Tatra. Although as I'm left-handed I don't imagine I did that poor guitar much good by reversing the strings like I did, I actually thought it was a quite good guitar, although eventually I gave it to a school friend as a present. After that I had a one-pick up Yamaha electric (which after it wore out was ritually dismembered one day) followed by a Squier Telecaster (believe me Telecasters look odd played lefthanded :) which I still have and is in semi-playable condition. Seeing as it has sentimental value as my mother's last present to me I keep it tightly locked up and don't use it though. Since then I've gone through probably ever minor and major guitar maker.

Also, at about the same time I started guitar I had tinwhistles, and a rather nice chromatic harmonica due to my dad's interest in Larry Adler.
