That way it is played and appreciated but still owned by me for sentiment more than anything.
My first actual guitar was an encore acoustic which my brother bought me, I destroyed it by falling on it whilst drunk and I regret that!
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
My first guitar was a Squire bought by my ex-wife.
When we separated I F***** it off, one less thing to take with me and gave me an excuse to buy another one!
I gave it to a charity shop hoping someone would appreciate it more than me.
I like seeing guitars that are like 30+ years old and battered to shit, like its been played hard. The fretboard needs more wear I think, some of the paint finish is starting to peel which is cool. Let's hope I keep it for another 20 years!
I'm not kidding when I say I check *daily* on eBay if it ever comes back up for sale - I modded it extensively and it was pretty distinctive. I'd pay whatever it took to buy it back...
Gordon Smith GSII from 1988.
Satin Cherry Red, Thick body, Kahler Flyer VIBRATO, Snot Green Schaller Tuners and a small (5mm) chunk out of the back of the neck on the treble side behind fret 6/7 where it fell over and caught the table edge on the way down.
I gave up searching daily for it but I never look past a GSII without checking.
We *did* have the serial number written down years ago for insurance purposes but that bit of paper went west a long time ago.
Sold in a guitar shop (?) on Lord St. Southport in 1990 for cash.
Surely I was one of the small few to fit a Kahler Flyer to a GSII?
It must be lurking somewhere.

I had a Vintage VRS100 which was a very decent PRS copy. Once I got something "better" It took me about 18 months to pluck up the courage to sell it.
Literally the only time I think about it now is every few months when a topic like this comes up. Don't miss it at all. Should have sold it sooner.
Next day I was totally fine. Knew I’d done the right thing. Still got all the photos and memories..
