Guitars you have regretted selling
Knowing my luck there has probably been a thread already posted in the past . but time to fess up
Last year when I joined this forum I kept saying that I would never sell my 94 Mexican Fender squire that I had got done up, well I did it and regretted it. My mind was at ease when the new buyer turned up to collect it and it turned out to be Kevin Fogarty from the knobz, I also sold my laney cub head and jet city cabinet which I kind of don't regret as I have a bit of a plan up my sleeve on that matter, at least I did not sell the jackson which is still a work in progress. upside it has made me play my acoustic a lot more

Re: Guitars you have regretted selling
The only one I miss is a 2001 G&L ASAT special. It was one of the best sounding guitars (for my personal taste) I've ever heard, and it was super nice to play, although I would have liked smaller frets. I gave it to a friend who is a great muso and was starting a family and couldn't afford a decent guitar.
He passed on his beginners grade squire to someone else and so everyone felt the love. I don't regret giving it away at all, but I missed it a lot, until I got a Rickenbacker, which is at least as good as the G&L for my purposes.

Re: Guitars you have regretted selling
What is this 'Selling' of which you speak?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Guitars you have regretted selling
I regret getting my Warwick bass stolen. I don't regret selling the subsequent Yamaha 5 string.
My first acoustic I sold to a guy who was so stoked for it, so I couldn't regret that either.

Re: Guitars you have regretted selling
I wish I still had my '83 Gold Top. I sold it and then managed to get it back and then stupidly sold it again. I also miss my '76 Les Paul Deluxe that I did a restore job on, it was pretty beaten up but it played so well.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Re: Guitars you have regretted selling
Ive not been fortunate enough to have had many guitars, the two i have are keepers no matter what. My LP has had two foiled attemps at being stolen and its old so it stays, my personalised Tele i put together so it stays. Only thing i regret selling in the past was an Ibanez ATK 5 string active bass, that thing was killer.
Re: Guitars you have regretted selling
I had an Ibanez RG7321 7 string, which was probably the most bottom of the range 7 strings by Ibanez, but there was just that something about it that I loved, I regretted selling that for years! Then three years ago I started looking at getting another 7 string but found an Ibanez Iron Label 8 string in the process which I landed up buying, it completely makes up for selling the 7 string.
I dont know why I bought the 8 string as I couldnt even play the 7 string properly to begin with, but there is just something about it.

Re: Guitars you have regretted selling
Jackson RR V. I didn't sell it, as I don't sell guitars, but it was another case of giving to a mate to look after for a bit and never seeing again, like my first 5150.
Great for stabbing singers that were taking up a little too much stage real estate.
