I'm sure we have all let go of guitars that we shouldn't have done or regret for whatever reason, so how about a thread either here or in the Classifieds to reunite owners with their beloveds once more? I have owned hundreds of guitar and to be honest there are only a couple of regrets in there.
When I divorced my first wife I had a ridiculous amount of guitars, one of the reasons was I used them to harbour money in the hope that this would be overlooked in divorce proceedings....and here's a tip guys cos it worked a treat. Her solicitor tried to include them but the judge and my solicitor threw it out. I'd like to thank Vince Cunetto for his marvellous Relic invention because my supposed Custom Shop relic guitars were actually mostly expensive vintage guitars. However amongst the throng that I disposed of afterwards to buy a house having given the last one away was a lovely 2002 Fender Custom Shop 50's Esquire that was super resonant and lightweight. I bought it from the guy who ran the Guitars of Canada Guitar Forum.
So if anyone out there has a blackguard NOS Fender Custom Shop Esquire Serial number CN95426 born 06/20/02 then I would love to give you a lump of cash for it!

I sold an old late 60's / early 70's Suzuki dreadnought acoustic to Sheehans music in Leicester, in late 1991.
It had a pronounced V profile neck, traditional acoustic colours and Suzuki written on the headstock.
Sheehans hadn't seen one for years so it would have been the only one they had around that time.
I wish i could get that one back more than any other.
No idea of the serial number but I'd have it back in a shot.
Noise, randomness, ballistic uncertainty.
1.) A very rare bronze/copper Catalinbread Echorec; would love to own it again !!
2.) PTD Mini Bone - this one heavily naturally reliced.
Anyone out there got these and want to sell them ?!?

If I had the money I'd have the P back in a heartbeat.
I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd

more expensive+name=better.
I regretted it almost straight away. The Gibson IS probably "better" but doesn't have that something that makes me grin like an idiot while I'm playing.

Thankfully this story has a happy ending. Whilst going through an old phone I happened to find a text arranging the sale. I took a punt & called them. The Raygun is now back in my room & the Gibson is currently up for sale- it just doesn't get played anymore.
Ironically I'm tempted to use the proceeds of the Gibson to buy another great guitar that I parted with & later realised how much it suited me.
Anyone have a Squier Trohman telecaster they'd sell me?
I am happy to buy it back - same price naturally.

the Epi was delightful and so versatile and the DeArmond with the 2K pickups sounded incredible and had a wonderfully comfy neck.
Cash waiting.
it was the dogs.
I only sell stuff I don't want any more, and I'm sure if a few people got back their "regret" sales they would soon remember why they got rid of them in the first place.
Rose tinted glasses and all that.....
Likewise...my aunt had SFY100 also a 190 SL brand new in 1961.....David Gandy the fashion model/ designer has it now!
