it was a fener strat copy called a chaser (dodgy, but I loved it) which I picked up second hand for about R200. Who would have known that about two years later I would be one of the dudes upfront on stage with a guitar (not the chaser though).
Duuddde!! The first electric guitar I ever played was a Chaser. I remember it as clear as glass. I bought that guitar from the owner about a year later, and learned a few good tricks on it. I still have it, stashed in a cupboard at my mom's place along with old tennis rackets and stuff. It looked exactly like a 50's Fender Stratocaster, and played just like a broken Hondo. I still reckon it looks good enough to set fire to in a music video or something. I'll be sad when I do it too.
