why did u sell your last guitar?

[erivel]

I sold my last guitar because I wanted to have just one guitar.

[Long Road Home]

Because I was, to my great surprise and delight, finally able to find someone who actually wanted a Zager .

[Judson]

I discovered that I liked listening to other people play a 12-string a lot more than I enjoyed playing one myself.

I'd never sell my last guitar.

This for me too, but sometimes because of my devolving skill level

Good one.

Moved from steel string guitars to nylon. Plus, they were expensive and the cost difference between them and the lesser expensive nylon did not make me a fingerstyler from a fingerpicker.

To help finance a custom build.

My M.O. is convoluted.

I enjoy working on guitars and I like trying lots of different guitars. The downside is that I end up hassling with lots of guitars coming and going. The upside is that I get to try lots of guitars and find really good deals.

So, I will buy one, try it and either keep it or sell it off.

My main Taylor was bought new but I got a fantastic deal on it. My Taylor 12-string needed a minor repair and my Gibson electric needed a total museum-quality restoration. So, each has a different story.

I recently sold off a Taylor 110 that I bought to fix up, specifically intending to try it out, and sell it back off.

The acoustic guitars that I moved over the last couple of years were used as trade-ins to acquire another guitar that I wanted more than the ones I traded.

[Mycroft]

Due to evolving standards.

[Looburst]

Tired of fighting with it, to try and get it to do what it was never going to do.

[Brucebubs]

I traded these 2
1996 Taylor 422 Quilted Maple - beautiful condition, just couldn't bond with that small, shallow body sound.
1999 Taylor 355 jumbo 12-string - needed pre-NT neck reset, I also have Guild and Martin jumbo 12's.



For this guitar built by Australian luthier Dan Dubowski.

To pay a medical bill. Seems like every time I save and get a guitar I like, something goes wrong with something and I need the money.
