I spent my first student loan cheque on a Fender Stratocaster
But that was neither payday, nor stupid. Sorry

If by "it", you mean a face that looks like a bucket of smashed crabs, then yes

I spent my first student loan on a pair of Technics SL1210s.
I do still have them in the loft, but think I might put them on ebay soon. Bit tragic being into all that in your 30s isn't it?

That's 12 years older than me and about the top end of age for that era.

Yeah I did this with my first student loan - a 12-string acoustic from Johnny Roadhouse in Manchester.

Genuine guitar question
Are 12 strings not a massive fuck on to string and keep in tune?
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 27 Feb 2015, 11:35, Reply)

Not really, you tune in pairs. I takes longer to string them but again, you do it in pairs so its no hassle
I fucking love my 12 string

I'd really like one

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Fri 27 Feb 2015, 11:46, Reply)

Then get one!

My Rickenbacker is an absolute ballache to do, on account of it having a very nice looking R-shaped bit at the bridge end
However, my local guitar shop does a restringing service for a couple of pounds so I never have to bother doing it myself.
Tuning is easy because I am not a spastic.
