Then I decided I needed to free up some cash for a decent acoustic. I tried the guitar, and found I couldn't get on with the neck. At all. I used to love the neck on it, but my tastes had obviously changed. I gave it a few weeks, to see if I could get used to it, but couldn't. So I put it up for sale, and although it took a while, it eventually sold.
The guy who bought it had had one before, but had had to sell it, and had always wanted another. He was made up to buy the guitar, which probably helped soften the blow at this end.
I'll freely admit to filling up as he drive away with it, but after a day or two, I knew I'd done right, selling it. Never looked back since. Still got all the memories, here, in my head, and I can re-live them anytime I want.
Sorry it was a bit of a waffle, and of course, ymmv..
That must be one of @HarrySeven more expensive purchases.

Put it another way: suppose you get rid of it. Can you imagine, in ten years time, looking back and thinking "I wish I'd kept that old guitar, so I could be playing it instead of this superb LP/strat/whatever that I've now got"?
The only one I regret selling is a Squier Tele maybe four or five guitars further down the line. Just had something about it that felt right for me. Though I own rather better guitars these days I still miss that Squier.
I still kick myself for not buying the american vintage 59 strat. I felt a bond with that guitar, but logic got in the way.
I've still got the first guitar I bought myself, my Hamer Special which I bought in 1982. I wouldn't sell it, although it's in such a state it wouldn't be worth anything anyway.
