So I think I've spotted my very first guitar for sale. I think I sold it back in 1990 and I'm 99% sure it's the one I owned. A sentimental part of me is dying to get it back, but I know there was a reason to get rid of it in the first place. It's being sold for a LOT more than I sold it for all those years ago. But but but..
So head or heart decision time.
Anyone else bought back their very first guitar?
UPDATE! I won the auction, actually I was the only bidder. Can't wait to get it but now im a bit nervous that it might not be "mine " even though further details from the seller suggest it is. Sentimental old sod I am.
The guitar is a turquois Karwai Aquarius with 3 humbuckers.

Mine is in pieces. I have the body and neck. A friend has the trem and the electronics (but they are shit so he's welcome to them).
I stripped the body meaning to repaint and put it back together with new hardware, but never have.
I'd never sell it, but no one would ever give me anything for it.
My first decent guitar I still miss and would consider buying back.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to
1988 Gordon Smith GSII, double cut, satin cherry red fitted with a Kahler flyer tremolo, locking nut fitted to the headstock before the brass nut and Schaller vintage tuners.
Much like @impmann I've kept half an eye out for it for many years. I think now it's turned up I'll kick myself if I don't try and get it back so I'm going to give it a go...

It's almost certainly in @HarrySeven 's shed.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
