my electric guitar since 2009

MY FIRST ELECTRIC GUITAR

i dedicated this story for my missing guitar which i got from my dad about 13 years ago. it was a replica or a copy of Ibanez. the headstock logo was even misspelled "Ibanas", but i still love it. my dad bought me when i was in senior high school. i used it several times to do some covers on facebook and it was appear in my youtube channel too. 

i usually play it at my bedroom with Vox AD30VT (a gift from my music course teacher) along with Boss metalzone pedal, but sadly i have to sell it a few years later because of something happened to me and i need more money. and my dad also got me a pedal. if i'm not mistaken, it was Nux overdrive pedal. 

QUIT PLAYING GUITAR

in 2014 or earlier, i decided to quit playing electric guitar because i thought that wouldn't fit with my appearance yk like i will be a rock girl if i play electric guitar but then after my dad's gone.. we moved to another house, we are splitting and we left that guitar at our previous house, left it to someone else who rent that house maybe for 2 years. i was starting to realize, that guitar is a legacy, i will play it no matter what. but when i ask for help, my mom went there to check and take that guitar, it wasn't there anymore. i believe someone has threw it away or sell it, idk. i pass the hard time to let go of it and started to find my ideal guitar to replace a gift from my dad in 2021.

but before it happened, in 2016 i ordered the custom guitar, the baby pink strato guitar from Sidoarjo. i love it, until i wrote my first song in 2017 with it, called "don't let dreams just be dreams". i am hoping i can publish that song in a full version before i turn 29 next year. 

MY ELECTRIC GUITARS, SO FAR :

1. A copy of Ibanez. "Ibanas" electric guitar, a gift from my dad in 2009.
2. 2016 custom of Stratocaster pink shell (@nandagitar)
3. 2017 custom Telecaster cabronita (@nandagitar)
4. 2018, Squier telecaster affinity black (i forgot the built year)
5. 2021, Fender stratocaster standard mexico 2007

i finally got my dream guitar to replace my missing guitar, the Ibanas one. i planned to buy the Ibanez RG but i cancelled it. During my finding, i learned a lot about the basics. The model, specs, colour, and anything in basic. Archguitars owner helped me a lot to find my ideal guitar. As a newbie, i've always want to have an ordinary guitar. I mean, i won't look up at the brand. The important thing for me, i can play guitar and replace my dad's gift and i can play all of my favorite songs with the guitar. But Mas Arif (Archguitars) recommend me to buy a better one for now and future. So it doesn't matter if you're a newbie but you can save your money to buy it, it'll never be wrong. It's a chance. "Use what pros use", he said. 

Now i only have my Fender strat with me, one 7/8 acoustic guitar, and another one is my birthday gift, a mahogany guitarlele. I will review them all later. bold, earth and calm, i named them.
