Soon after was an Epi SG with a bolt on neck like this one...which was a massive step forward

That isn't it, as I loaned it to a smack head with hilarious results, but bought that last year as a trip down memory crescent

Considering how crap it was, I'm amazed I stuck to it! I had one of those, bought to tide me over when I couldn't get at my first 'proper' guitar for a while (long story) - Satellite? My first guitar was a Peavey International Series Falcon, bog-standard sunburst Strat copy - I actually augmented it with the Telecaster copy from the same series a few years later, decent little guitars!
Yep, I had one of those too. Egg-slicer action, totally surprised I didn't give up too!
Another one for the Satellite here. I managed to learn how to play NOTHING on this thing in the year and a half before I went out and bought one of these:
(These are not my pictures but are the exact same models)
My first proper 6 string was a Satellite LP copy that I bought on the knock from my mother's 'John Noble' home shopping catalogue in about '77.
Not stunning instruments.

I wasn't great but was enough to get me going.
After a few months my brother lent me his Fender Bullet which remained my only guitar until I bought an Ibanez RG at uni

Had to hand it back a few years ago and I keep toying with the idea of picking up another one.
In red, maple neck...I don't think I need to post a photo, you guys know what these things look like.
As starter electrics go, don't think I could have done much better, really.
I could never get it to stay in tune if i used the vibrato, which is probably why my style developed to prefer hard-tails - and why I block off the trems on any trem-equipped guitar I have (save for the Bigsby on my Gretsch)
More user error than dodgy guitar, of course, and if I knew then what I know now, I could set the guitar up a hell of a lot better.. On the rare occasion I do pick it up, it does feel like the neck is ridiculously flimsy mind and it never wants to stay in tune. I reckon a decent bit of TLC would sort it out, but that's on my long-term to do list.
