1980, it was my seeing guys buy guitars and do crappy jobs of covers, and me saying to myself "Sheeet, I could do better than that". So I did the same, bought a guitar and did crappy versions of covers. .......... till I started doing my own originals, then people couldn't tell if I was screwing up or not.
I actually had a cheap plywood SG copy back in the mid 70's and learned Evil Ways, Love Roller Coaster, and Stairway to Heaven, but that doesn't count. I couldn't do any leads cause the action was so high from the cheap warped neck that I would have split my finger in half trying to bend a note. It wasn't until I got a decent guitar in 1980 that I could tackle AC/DC & Ozzy and play some mindless hammer-ons.
