Ha! That's exactly what wound up happening to me. I originally wanted to play bass. A friend left his bass over my house, maybe even one of these, and it was ridiculously hard to play. I still remember trying and trying with the strings being like 2" off the neck. My brother's friends however were leaving their SGs and Strats in my basement so I wound up playing with those things all the time until I saved enough to buy my own guitar. Took about 10 years to decide that bass was my calling.
Just want to add an interesting name dropping note. Those instruments that were getting left in my basement were from my older brothers first band who had both James Lomenzo in it and Steve Augeri (who wound up singing with Journey). Those guys were my first influences, playing in my basement. Band's name was Sir Donicus.
