I didn't have $400, let alone $4k so it wasn't an issue about buying it or not.

Another one that haunts me was a fabulous Warmoth Tele partscaster with very interesting features including a carved top and a Floyd trem (yeah probably sounds horrendous but I loved it!). I procrastinated, sent the seller a question then suddenly it was gone, sold to someone else. Doh!
The other is @jd0272 s Esquire. Absolutely right up my street and I'd long worshipped it from afar. When it got sold I'd just committed to buy a new house so it was completely out of the question. Still haunts me.
But we were just about to go on holiday, so I thought to myself, "If it's still there when we get back...". And of course it wasn't.
Did anyone here buy it? Jamie was a very popular chap on the various iterations of the forum...
I consoled myself by getting my ES-330 (which I still have) from him, although that was considerably more money.
*edit* great idea for a thread, by the way - some very interesting stories coming out!
I worked in a guitar shop, we go it in and I played it.
Fell in love.
I demoed it to a customer and they bought it...

At the time I didn't know how to tune in an amp and thought it sounded really treble-y and harsh...wish I had it now tho. Probably be a lovely contrast to my WEM in a dual-amp setup.
It seemed too good to be true so I left it, but it sold and I've always wondered if it was genuine.
I guess other than that I regret not buying a Les Paul Studio I saw in local classifieds in about '97 going too cheap because it was in slightly rough condition. I never went to see it but it would almost certainly have been better than the succession of Ibanezes I owned instead.
Wunjo on Denmark Street bought it for cash. I can't even bring myself to look at photos of me playing it - makes me feel awful.
I have a 360 Mapleglo with Toasters that sounds great, but if I could get my BlueBoy back.....
Got a bee in my bonnet about wanting a chunkier neck, sold it cheaply and have never found a guitar that was so easy to play fast and sounded as good
