While I miss some acoustics I have sold, I don't really regret any of them as I think I have slowly moved toward instruments that work better for me.
Electrics, on the other hand, have seen me swing and miss a little more often. My regrets include two PRS guitars - a relatively plain-looking Korina McCarty and a JA-15. That Korina McCarty, as I have come to discover, was quite the guitar. I wanted more PRS bling, so I traded it. The beautiful quilt blue PRS is long gone and not missed, but I miss that Korina McCarty. I was not quite ready for the JA-15. If I had that guitar back today, I think I would make better use of it and become pretty attached.

Basically this. Once I make a decision, I stand by it and don't look back. I've sold a couple of one-of-a-kind guitars and could still replace them if I felt the need with something that would do the job. No regrets. Live for the future, not the past.

Ive let a few get away. One was a mid 90's Taylor 855. A beautiful guitar which was an extremely easy 12 to play.
My biggest regret is a late 80's Yamaha LL-45. A fantastic guitar all the way around. It had a very small scratch that I recognized years later in an ad where the guitar was for sale. Unfortunately, The ad was expired and besides I didn't have the money to buy it back. |

A Martin OMM John Renbourn. Alpine spruce over Madagascar R. That one had a tone like no other. I let it go because it was a slothead, & I don't care for slotheads. Now I wish I would have changed my persuasion.

Might sound pathetic, but it’s my Simon & Patrick Woodland Cedar 12 string, strung as a 6 string. Had it for 12 years, sold it for $180. Should have kept it, awesome beater I had for a long time.

I’ve only sold two guitars.
One was my 2005 Taylor 210. I bought it back from my understanding and unsurprised friend within 48 hours and won’t make that mistake again. The other was a Fender Baja Telecaster that I loved the sound of but not the boat anchor weight of. I traded it towards an Epiphone Casino. Bought another Baja Tele seven or eight years later — this one coming in under 7.5 pounds. So I can’t really say I’ve regretted either sale since I got both guitars back, more or less, sooner or later. |

A signed and numbered Eric Clapton OM. I sold it back to the AGF member that sold it to me, but I miss it a lot.

My first guitar...a new 1964 Gibson LG0 my parents bought me for my 14th birthday. I owned it for 12 years until my then wife convinced me to sell it so we could get something she claimed we needed.
I regret it to this day.

This amazing koa OM-42.
Nicest Martin I’ve ever owned. Bought it from an AGF buddy a few years ago and sold it to put the money into another guitar. But still miss it. I take comfort in knowing that the guy who bought the OM was pretty pleased by it. |
