Maybe yours was a gift. Maybe it belonged to a parent, grandparent, or sibling, and you weren't really supposed to play it. Maybe it was a (with permission) hand-me-down, or you came upon it in a proverbial dusty attic. In any case, we all have to start somewhere.
Technically, my own first guitar wasn't a six-string, it was a Squier P-Bass. This was due to a tale as old as time: “Hey dude, so, we've already got two guitar players, and a drummer... so, like, we can't have three guitarists, and we need a bassist...”
