Re: Ones that got away...
I really regret not buying a Ric 360/12 from Mojosound back in the day. I had played it and fallen for it a bit but had to build up the courage to blow that much money on an odd niche guitar. Finally rang up and said I'll take it and someone had bought it 30 minute earlier.

Washburn N4 Nuno at Manuwatu TV and Sound sometime in the early ninties, having not sold at the original high thousands price, they specialled it off for $750, the three hours it took to check my account and discuss with my future wife...

I used to lust after the Nuno’s...I didn’t even know who he was but wood and reverse headstock grabbed my eye.

Feck, $750 for an N4....
Great guitars, lots of clever little bits on them that help separate them from the traditional super strat/shred stick fodder.

Re: Ones that got away...
Polytone guitar amp, sold to buy something else. I was scared it would die and no one would be able to get parts to fix it.
Roland Jupiter 4, sold to the nice chap in Pluto. damn I should have kept that thing, think I sold it for 400
I swapped a 70`s fender bassman 1x15 combo for a digitech bass harmony machine
I swapped a Japanese Fender Jazz 62 reissue for a 5 string Vester
sold a 76 fender start to the RS for 1600
damn, I am an Idiot

There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Aria Pro II ST1512. In Westport. For $400 in 1987, so the guitar was pretty fresh. Played it, went away to think about it for about an hour... went back for it...
