unfortunately it was my strat
In the mid 90s I bought (new) a Roland GR-09 guitar synthesizer, and not being content with already paying over a grand for it I bought the sound expansion pack as well, and the GK-3 pickup which I routed into the front of my old Aria guitar - internal fitting kits weren't available then. After finding out that it really wasn't very useful, rather than sell it at a big loss I decided to keep it and see if it would be useful in the future. Of course all that happened was that it wasn't useful in the future, and by the time I just wanted rid of the whole thing it was worth next to nothing. (And I'd buggered up my Aria.)
Then something miraculous happened - I managed to swap it for a silver sparkle Danelectro U3 .
The singer in my band needed a better guitar - she'd been borrowing my old Fender Duo-Sonic, which had a very narrow neck - so I lent her the Dano for a while, then when she left to go to New Zealand, in a fit of poetic self-punishment for wasting all that money on the guitar synth, I gave her the guitar... it seemed somehow appropriate and I still don't regret it.

It sounded epic (Vibrolux), but I had a few epic amps at the time......
stacks at the time and was using a MV JCM800 so must have thought I wouldn't need it anymore..idiot.
One of my tat for tat gear exchanges with @HarrySeven.
At the time, H7 was systematically ditching guitars with Floyd Rose type double locking vibratos. I accepted a bunch of Charvel Model series necks and bodies in various states of decrepitude. Thirty years too late, I discovered what tremendous fun these can be.
That was along time ago and I don't know if it counts !

Football is rubbish.
a good one and one that will wind a few folks up I’m sure is the Les Paul Less plus I got for £650 (actually £700 but PayPal paid £50 on an offer) and the bloke gave me a vox amp too for no reason.

dude haggles her down to £55
I can't say that dude would be on my Christmas Card list.
So my brother traded a £500 guitar for a blue sparkle Ibanez Jem.
Bastard.
