Members GAS Man Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 And why won't you sell it?He who dies with the most toys wins.Actually, even the ones I neglect, I just luvs them all like my babies. I keep my first Framus acoustic because my dad got it for me back around '66/'67. Damn thing is hard to play with its tiny frets, but otherwise it's very well built.

Members epi56ebony Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 1979 Les Paul Custom. Tobacco Burst. One Pete Townshend streak that can be buffed out. All Stock. Closet Classic. Very Heavy. A gift from my Dad who's passed away. What actually happened was my brother and I used to work during the Holiday season in my Dad's store and for our bonus we got these Les Pauls (my brother got a black custom) from Don Weir's Music City in SF. Still have the receipt for the guitars. My brother had to sell his due to financial hardship (still has his 74 strat though and it's a real winner for a CBS strat) 650 each with case.

Members Guitar Heel Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Is there some sort of rule that we have to sell guitars that we don't play very often? There's a lot of folks on here telling a lot of other folks what they should do with their guitars. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members roners5 Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 my PRS hollowbody II ... my dad bought it for me so I'll never sell it- too much sentimental value. I hardly ever play it though- it's a fantastic guitar and plays very well but I have other guitars that I pull out when I want to play electric. I got it when I was really into jazz but the pickups are actually more rock n roll (and I prefer the pickups in my singlecut for jazz believe it or not). I'd prefer some type of archtop but I've been thinking of putting some flatwounds on it for something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wein Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 All this talk of guys Dads reminds me that I have a Takamine nylon string guitar that my Dad bought me as a college graduation present. Terrible guitar, but I'll never get rid of it for the obvious reasons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brewski Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Nope. I got over that kind of thinking. I had several that I considered holy grail oddballs. But I sold em. Everything has a price. I now have three: Ibanez Destroyer II (1st real guitar bought in 1984 and wife wo't let me)Fender Strat (Christmas Gift from wife and she won;t let me)Oscar Schmidt OE30 (had Jeff Skunk Baxter's autograph) (but for the right price I'll risk Jeff kicking my ass as he promised if I put it on eBay when he signed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stspider Posted January 10, 2010 Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 I very rarely play my '95 Les Paul Studio. But I won't sell it, first of all because it holds sentimental value, second, it's economic value is quite poor due to lots of modifications it's gone through, third, it can always be useful as a backup.

Members Jkater Posted January 10, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 10, 2010 Sweet Custom. I had a 67 SG Custom that, like a fool, I sold back in 77...I miss it:facepalm: J.R. Similar story: Around '74, I'm seventeen or thereabout in this pic playing my Gibson SG custom that I bought used for $400 canadian. It had already some wear when I got it. I sold it a few years later for so little I can't even remember how much I let it go for. I'd love to have hang on to that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
