Members Kid_A Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 Im in a pickle, its nearing lunch and I brought my 1962 Gibson ES330 with me so I could take it to Wunjos Guitar Shop on Denmark Street to sell... Im having second thoughts.... Im not even usuing it at the moment, im usuing a Squire Tele Custom with a kaoss pad strapped on and need something road worthy and something i can be ferocious with... And the Gibson cant give me those... but im finding it hard to let it go. Its a lot of money to be holed up in a guitar thats just going to sit in my room...

Members Daryl Chaney Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 If your not using it, and you dont use it live, then whats the point in having it? UNLESS ! you use it for recording, in which case it would be mighty to have. Sell it privatley though. you'll get much more money for it than jumping into that shark pool of music shops. - I once heard of a guy who sold a Travis Bean to a local music shop for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its in the shop now... Any London people fancy playing it try Wunjo and you can tell me how daft I was/wasnt for putting it in there...Your right though on the reason front, but its not purely for that reason. Im just trying to be logical for once... I am the worst for buying stuff on impulse and hoarding it, this time im trying to do the right thing... I think ive made the right decision...

Members Snowden Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 Sounds like you kinda already made your mind up. OTOH, I now won't sell anything I'm not 100% sure on. It's always those ones that I regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members veil Posted January 14, 2008 Members Share Posted January 14, 2008 Only sell it if you absolutely need the money and have no other option. You might not use it right now, but I guarantee you a guitar that beautiful will see use from you in the future.My dad kept two pieces of gear from his rocking days in the 60's. One is a Gibson Country Western acoustic guitar. The other is a '66 Twin Reverb. Keep in mind my dad lived a life of poverty for a long time and endured a lot of hardships. In the early 80's he sold his 1970 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe goldtop for grocery money...for $300. He had no idea that his third son would want to learn to play guitar. But ten years ago, when a little 13-year-old Veil came up to visit him and asked him if he could teach him, he broke out his Gibson that he kept and taught him his first chords. Once he knew that his son was sticking with it, he tracked down his Twin Reverb, which was at his ex-wife's parent's house, and gave it him.I have a gorgeous amp that I constantly use because he decided not to sell his gear. Imagine if I had that Les Paul! In high school I wasn't playing any music that necessitated a Twin Reverb, I was playing music with lots of distortion. But I didn't sell that amp, even though I wasn't using it. I didn't know the value of it, but I knew that it meant too much for me to sell.I hope that helps.
