1953 Martin 0-18, small but perfectly formed and fantastic tone. Complete brainstorm selling it, didn't even need the money at the time!

Not so much one I let get away but was chatting with my dad (god rest his soul) about guitars when he was a youngster.

He told me he had a nice old strat (this was back in the 1960's so it must have been quite old back then) that he brought off a mate for not much money. My eyes widened at this point thinking 'you've got a 1950's strat in the loft that you're about to bestow apon me'

Nope - he told me it got a bit dented up through playing so he chucked it away.

I still mention this to his soul whenever I visit his grave

Heh that is true however that would mean having to own one of those monstrosities in the meantime

My much modded Antoria Gold Top Les Paul... two hopes there, and one doesn't play Golf any more.

proggy · August 2018

I sold my first proper guitar, a Rickenbacker 4000 bass. I really wish I'd kept it, I probably wouldn't play it but would love to still own it. C'est la vie.

Gassage · August 2018

A 1966 custom telecaster I sold.

Nah...you wouldn’t have to sully your hands with them...just sort out some 3-way “drop-shipping” -type trade.

You’d never even have to feel the aesthetic horror of looking at them, let alone owning them!

I might need to state the trade value of the Guild before such an arrangement

Anderz · August 2018

I don't have any sold gear regretz as it was over and done with by the time I decided to let the stuff go and some of it was really awesome stuff I might ad. Still it was part of the journey towards future gear better suited these days.

JerkMoans · August 2018

FWIW amidst all the 'regrets, I've had a few', most times I decide to flip a guitar on I can't wait to see the back of it. Like a relationship that's gone stale that one just wants OUT of, with as little drama as possible...
