Weirdly I was the opposite.
I got a guitar around 9-10 and never took to it much.
Then when I went to boarding school I took up double bass and that helped to push me back towards guitar. I didn't take any guitar lessons until I was around 17 though and I felt like I was at a standard to actually really learn, I had an unbelievably good teacher which helped. At the same time I took up classical guitar, it was a good experience but I didn't stick with it, one year of lessons at RIAM and I completed Grade 6 but I will say my sight reading on guitar has never been even close to my sight reading on bass which is the one down side to starting formal lessons so late...
