My History Teacher gave me his acoustic guitar back when i was 15. It was kinda in shambles. The strings were rusty and some strings were missing. I went and made it look new.
Then my dad let me listened to Jimi's Purple Haze. I got that little bit of eagerness to learn the guitar. Then I listened to the solo from Synyster in Bat Country and I thought I was ready to learn. But after listening to Dimebag's solo in Floods. I just went and pick it up and started playing. Now I'm playing my own customized Superstrat. It was actually a budget electric guitar i got off Peninsular. I love it sooo much!

When I've first started listening to metal after I've found the following bands at HMV: Dismember and Dissection (bought the CDs because I like their cover-art...fell in love with the music)...also friend introduced me to Inflames and Hammerfall...I've only later started listening to Metallica...lol.

For me, I'd say my eldest bro. My dad bought a classical guitar for him. I was 12 then and schooling in the afternoon session. So when I woke up early, I got bored. Since I like to sing, I like an accompaniment for that. Last time where got karaoke and things like that.
The guitar was just an accompaniment for me to sing at first. Became a so-called rock vocalist when I was 14. Hehehe!! Then the guitarist can't play chords properly and so I start playing the guitar and quit singing totally. My greatest guitar hero is B.B.King!!

Back in 1982, I had a few classmates who were into playing the guitar. I wanted to learn to play songs by the Beatles and the Eagles. An uncle of mine loaned me his old Suzuki acoustic guitar, but after playing it for a few months, I longed for my own guitar. We went to a musical instrument shop at Thomson Plaza, where I bought my first guitar, a Kawai F-200D Dreadnought. I recall it was probably a Kawai musical instrument shop, they sold pianos too. I think I paid about $280 for it, a princely sum for a teenager. I have kept the guitar all these years and still enjoy playing it now and then. The wood has matured (darkened) and the sound has mellowed. Actually I prefer playing it to my other acoustic guitars because it gives off a warm and rich tone. It just sounds better!
Changed to Elixir strings recently, and my Kawai sounds even better!
