My first "guitar hero". Well, when I was 4 my first guitar was an orange plastic Monkees guitar.
I got if for Christmas and managed to break 2 strings in a matter of hours.

Anyway, I always liked the guy with the wool hat, and came to know much later that he really was a decent songwriter, even if he wasn't such a killer guitarist. Always liked his sense of humor. Dry but surreal.
 
I remember watching the Monkees' TV shows in the UK and liked the comedy too from Mike.

Now you mention the orange guitars I remember seeing those also.
