My first electric guitar was a used Ibanez 2365, (kind of a  Fender Jaguar/Jazzmaster-copy), and here's a picture of me with it, back in 1979..

I also had an Ibanez Roadstar II-    First bought a green metallic one, but it had some issues, so the shop took it back and gave me a white one instead (PHOTO)

I also had a cheap no-brand Strat-copy used as a project guitar for different rebuilds and paint jobs..  I sold it years ago, I believe at the time it had the special and quite rare "SHIFT 2001" tremolo-system* installed, and a Chandler neck*  (*the Chandler neck and the Shift 2001 trem system was previously also installed on my Roland G505 guitar, see below)
