My first electric guitar - my RJ strat which my mom bought when I was in 3rd yr high school (with matching Hot Cabs amp and neon green cable). That was the guitar where I learned it all! One time, a had it setup at RJ (when I was in college na I think), and the tech tightened the neck backplate too much that it made the wood crack. The guitar was never the same since then and it only got worse. I brought it to guitar hospital, but Ari said it cannot be fixed anymore (kung baga sa ospital: ginawa na po namin lahat...), so we decided to just let it go and sell the Floyd Tremolo. If it wasn't for that tech who broke it, I might still be using it until today. R.I.P. RJ strat!
