Members Armchair Bronco Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 I *almost* traded away my Heritage Cherry Gibson SG Classic for a Daphne Blue Fender '65 Mustang Reissue.But when I got to A/B the two guitars over a weekend, I kept the SG and sent the Mustang back.I knew that if I didn't do that, I would have been making a post in this thread!

Members TESmith Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 Have not gotten rid of anything electric except my V18 2x12 amp, which despite many loving them it was not for me. I do regret I bought it a little before the price drop so I paid damn near 300.00 for it I will not post pic as it is not for this forum, but do regret getting rid of my Larrivee OM-03 acoustic, I loved the way that guitar felt and played, loved the clarity of the music on it, But it was too bright, just not enough low end. Wish I could have kept it and bought a different guitar to give me the low end I wanted , economics at the time would not allow that, I had to sell the Larrivee to get something different.......I like my new acoustic, but I do miss the Larrivee.

Members babguitargod Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 I don't have any pics but an old Granada tube amp. It was nice a clean then you crank for tube overdrive. It had a tube tremalo and reverb which were both foot switchable. I was young and thought it wasn't cool because it couldn't wake up the neighbours with it's 7 watts of power. I used the encloser for something else and threw the amp out. Now I kick myself saying I could have a cool low watt amp right if. Live and Learn I guess.

Members Doctor Morbius Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 So far I don't regret getting rid if any guitars or amps. Maybe at the time but not now. I do regret not buying a couple that were stupid good deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sylvesterlowery Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 I sold a Charvel 375 that I had because I needed the money for bills. It still hurts a bit, even though it was 6 years ago. Funny thing: I took it to Guitar Center and they offered me 75.00 for it. It was in super clean condition with bar and OHSC. I walked out.

Members zigzaguarsnarl Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 An MIK Epiphone Dot -- just a brilliant guitar. I have no idea why I sold it. didn't even need the money. This was about 4 years ago and I haven't bonded with another guitar since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fireproof777 Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 Haven't gotten rid of anything (guess I'm a gear whore), but I do regret passing up on a few amazing deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Armchair Bronco Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 Speaking of regret: does anyone remember the classic song "Sweat Loaf" by the Butthole Surfers? "Daddy?" "Yes, son?" "What does regret mean?" "Well son, a funny thing about regret is that It's better to regret something you *have* done, Than to regret something you *haven't* done. And by the way, if you see your mom this weekend, Be sure and tell her, SATAN, SATAN, SATAN!!!"

Members Carbohydrates Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 I've sold and traded piles of guitars, a ton of 'em. Two, three dozen, maybe. There's only one that I miss, though, and goddamn what a guitar she was. 1979 Jazzmaster Someday I'll get another JM or perhaps a Jag. Problem with this one was the insane weight, easily over 10 lbs and just unbearable to play for any period of time. It was a one-piece slab ash body, just crazy. Its replacement will have to be much lighter. Retrospectively, I should have kept the neck and electronics and gotten a new body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faber Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 I really should have kept my first strat - a US 57 RI that I bought new in 1990. Sweet sounding guitar that I sold cause I thought I "needed" a LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vrm Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 the only guitar I truly regret selling was my '79 guild S-100. wish I still had it. Sorry no pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roy Brooks Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 A couple years ago I went in a pawnshop in Enterprise, Alabama and found the Electra Vulcan MPC on the right for $199. It came with phase shifter and overdrive plug in modules. The pawnshop did not have an amplifier to try the guitar out with. So I took a chance and bought it anyway. I took it home, cleaned it up, changed strings, and put a new battery in it. Everything worked. And it turned out to be a really good guitar. The effects sounded good too. But I found a Mosrite Joe Maphis I really wanted. So I sold this Electra guitar for phase 3 profit along with a few more guitars so I could buy the Mosrite. I was glad I got the Mosrite. But after I sold the Electra I started missing it. So I started looking around on eBay to see if I could find another Electra Vulcan MPC. I found one for sale that cost about the same as I sold mine for. So I bought it. It showed up in a nice hardshell case. When I sold the guitar it did not have a case. When I took the guitar out of the case I saw that it was the very same guitar that I had sold previously. It even had the effects modules with it. I knew it was the same guitar because it was missing a strip of binding on the headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ESchmidt Posted November 27, 2008 Members Share Posted November 27, 2008 I regret selling my first Gibson Les Paul. It was a 1990 LP Studio with the ebony fretboard. But my friend owns it now so I know its in good hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
