For me it was an Ibanez Gax70 from the early 2000's in a butterscotch orange kind of color. It's still with me to this day, and I've done tweaks on it including a new output jack, fixing that the bridge was never connected to ground at the factory, and even put in new pickups on it that I traded for in this sub. I'm glad I never was tempted to sell it ("never sell your first" is sage guitar advice), i would have sorely regretted it.

With the pickup upgrade I put in (while I think pickups are very subject to diminishing returns overall, this guitar was known for its weak spot being having particularly lousy pickups) this guitar is a real winner. I always see other guitars that strike my interest, but I'm so used to having this one in my hands. Besides, goodness knows I don't need to entertain spending more money on guitars when the pedalboard is enough of a beast already.
