A long time ago........ when dirt was born!
My first one was a black 1961 Sears Silvertone guitar.
Had a 67 blond fender Telecaster with rosewood fingerboard and the last one pictured a 1990 Heritage H-575.
had a lot of pictures lost on my computer.....it was hacked with ransomware 6 years ago

My 1st electric was a Harmony, very similar to yours that was bought at Sears along with a Silvertone amp. It was for Christmas '62. I impressed my parents with my ability to play Duane Eddy tunes on my Harmony acoustic they bought 1 1/2 years earlier that they thought an upgrade was deserved. I wish I still had them just for sentimental reasons. The electric came with a Bixby just like Duane Eddy. I was the envy in the neighborhood for 15-20 minutes until one of the other kids got a Mickey Mantle baseball bat. Yeah, me too.
Few more of mine .

Yes a lot of Duane Eddy ventures Johnny & the Hurricanes......... i can relate..
I had a jack installed on the back of my parents record cabinet..... was not the greatest but i fell in love with the electric guitar...........
I played at 2 the high school proms and other local gatherings....... I now have a Tennessee flat top box.
Like the song by Johnny Cash...... and most of his songs too.

I quit collecting anything many years ago but had a 'few' guitars. Mr. Arthur Rightus started taking over my left hand so.....I sold my last one recently which didn't amount to being much of anything. It was a China made Yamaha full standard but it was a freebie at least and didn't sound all too bad when I could beat on it....
I like the corvette with that headstock.

Guitars are a slippery slope... I've avoided owning multiple by getting the one, single guitar that I've ALWAYS wanted. I never named it.. but I do covet it a bit and love, love, playing the thing:
440 PHIXX
The Island of Misfit Mopars
2018 Jackson Warrior. Master built by Joe Williams for NAMM 2018.

...and it's a lefty, whoa!
Can't be too many of those.
Mine is red/burgundy on the back. Is yours?
Mine is also not really a "burst" finish and is more tan/yellow.
It does have a pronounced grain but I'm pretty sure it's a "photo flame" or whatever Gibson/Epiphone calls it.

I've been on another FBBO Hyannis, busy I guess but saw all the alerts in regards to this thread.. lots of cool guitars posted! My collection has made a dramatic change since the original post, I sold both of mine, bought another, returned it and bought 2 more lol. These 2 are absolutely awesome, learned how to do a complete setups and got both dialed. A used Ibanez 470 and a Matt Heafy Epiphone LP. The Matt Heafy LP has modern Fishman Fluence pickups which have coil splitting plus active/passive options, a scooped neck for better access and a thinner neck.. I set it up with 10's for drop tuning.
This thread is a bit dusty but why not fire it up again. Looking at this Epiphone. I haven't played for years and only picked and played some 3 cord sets. I always wanted a electric and now that I am an old fart I need one! Besides, it is B5 Blue! Anything to look for other than neck repairs, truss rod adjustment and worn frets?

And plug it in and make sure everything works....
I bought the blue Epiphone. Real good shape although it could use a tune up. You guys do your own set ups or take them into the shop? What's that run for price. Mine could use nut and bridge work. I adjusted the truss rod which helped a bit. I think I might have a high fret on the low E because I get a little buzzing. I do have a tuner and fret polishing kit coming. I don't know if I should buy the set up tools and nut files or not. This one should be fine for me. Not too expensive or fancy but good enough to learn on.
