When I first started playing *which* time?

I got my first guitar at about 9 years old - cheapo classical my uncle bought for me at a swap meet. I messed around with it but never got serious, and quit playing shortly thereafter. Don't know what ever happened to that guitar.

Started again in junior high (middle) school with a cheapo Chinese Strat copy - learned my open and barre chords, played in a garage band with a few friends through high school, and bought a cheapo Japanese Les Paul copy from the other guitarist in my band when he 'graduated' to an Ibanez Iceman. Also bought a 12-string acoustic and played with the youth group at our church at the time. A couple years after high school, I quit playing.

...Fast forward almost 25 years to last August, when I decided to "start" playing again. Bought a Strat, then an acoustic guitar shortly thereafter. Since then, I've bought 5 other electric guitars (along with a bunch of other stuff). I still have that 12-string acoustic from nearly 30 years ago, and just sold the old Les Paul copy a couple months ago at a garage sale.
