My actual first guitar I had when I was a kid but I didn’t made progress, I guess it was just a nice toy for me, I don’t remember if it was acoustic classical or acoustic folk (probably classical if I have to guess), even less the brand. After that I didn’t touched a guitar until 2019 when I bought my first guitar as a grown up. It was a cheap guitar, I think the guitar as supposed to have nylon strings but someone or the brand (PHX) put it steel strings. The intonation of that guitar was none 
. I mean, playing on the first frets was fine 
. But how about you?

About 20 years ago I got myself some generic black and white Strat copy. It was terrible and it didn’t take me long to quit. That was partly the guitar and partly my unrealistic expectations!
This time around I had an electric guitar in the house but I went and bought a Taylor Academy acoustic guitar and that was all I played for around the first year

Squier Affinity Telecaster - sunburst. I didn’t know anything about guitars when I ordered it. But I was very lucky. It sounds great, feels great and I still regularly play it even though I have some other more expensive guitars.
For me was it an Air guitar 
Second was given by a the first one that could only be played by fantasy was one that my uncle gave me when I was 16 …
This Elitè comes from the 1950s …
More than 70 years old, so one day it will go to a guitar restoration person . 
The red one

Current state

More than 50 years ago: a Kiso Suzuki FE-150. Still playing it. Great guitar (in search of a great guitarist)!

Hey Rogier, I wonder if you had the same model I did! Mine was always in tune and could play anything I asked it to. Super light, too.
My next guitar was a dirt-cheap Strat-style bundle off Amazon. It had fret sprout horribly bad, the controls were not always making contact, and the input jack was weak and also did not make reliable contact. It went back after my wife tried it and tore up her hand on the sharp fret ends.
She picked out a PRS Tremonti SE for me, which is another story…
My Dad got me my first guitar in 1964 when I showed interest in learning to play. It was a Gibson ES120-T. A student model, thin hollow body electric. I still have it and its still playable.
My first guitar was a secondhand bass. There is a blog post about the very instrument here:
It’s about 50 years old, and it’s about 3 metres from where I’m sitting.
My first six-string was a new Eko Ranger VI acoustic. It’s almost as old as the bass, and is also in the room.
The bass required some engineering to convert it to left-hand use, the acoustic was a left-hander already.
It was a cheap acoustic 2nd hand with terrible unfixable high action. If you are a beginner and the gap between your strings and fretboard is high (aka action) you are making it so much harder to progress. Getting a better guitar made a huge lot of difference to me.
An acoustic bought in the gift shop of the Rossiya Hotel in Moscow in 1979. It was every bit as good as you imagine.
Can’t remember the model number, but it was a Yamaha acoustic bought back in 1999, cost about £150 and was right handed.
After about a year I had to conceded that my shoulder problems meant I had to stop guitar.
Looking back with what I know now, I can see that it needed a decent setup, as it was a complete finger shredder. Left handed guitars were even thinner on the ground than they are today.
Early 70s. As best I recall it was an inexpensive semi-hollow electric in roughly olive drab with slide switches to turn the pickups on and off. Maybe a Harmony brand? IIRC it played OK but about a year or so in my teacher strongly encouraged an upgrade and helped us buy a Halifax (Ibanez sub-brand) LP Custom, which was a good solid guitar. I replaced one pickup on that to add coil split and phase switching options. I still have that LP, although it needs a bit of work to get it back to playable (nothing drastic, mostly a new output jack and a setup).
I didn’t own an acoustic until the late 80s and still only have one.
I don’t know the model but it was a Yamaha acoustic guitar in sunburst (left at our house by a family friend) when I was about 7 or 8 years old. I tried to learn for a couple of years but could never get anywhere, probably because it was a left handed guitar and I am right handed 
. I had always intended to come back to learning eventually, and it only took about 40 years.
1st time I tried to learn (1982), it was an Ovation acoustic with a plastic back that I rented from the music store where I took lessons.
2nd time it was an Ernie Ball Music Man Luke (1996) and a Takamine acoustic.
This time (the only time I stuck with it) it was an Ibanez GIO that was gifted to me by a friend just before COVID lock-down. That gift couldn’t have been timed better, and I’ve been playing every day ever since, thanks to JustinGuitar.
BTW, I gifted that guitar to a local music program for kids in my town.
Mine was a Washburn Folk style Acoustic… I still have it, tweaked the setup, changed the tuners and pins, and enjoy playing with it on my porch or deck.
Snap! The mirror image of mine. No need for me to upload a photo.

My first guitar was a white 1986 Epiphone “by Gibson” S-400. It was a “fat strat” style guitar with a Jackson-style headstock.
(And my first amp, purchased at the same time, was a dirt cheap solid state Washburn that sounded just as bad as one might expect.)
My first guitar was a cheapo nylon stringed guitar I managed to get ahold of in junior high in 1974-75. Everyone wanted to be Kiss. Took a semester of guitar and was able to play a simple version of Yellow Submarine. Then kinda lost interest after the class, I couldn’t tune the guitar. We didn’t have gadgets for that. You had to use a tuning fork. Ah well, the good old days, right!
