I have bought and sold many, and really have no regrets of the ones I have sold. It was there time to go. I lost my backside on getting rid of a Larrivee L in trade on an Eastman - but it was my own fault on accepting the trade - but really my only big loss in buying and selling.

Great thread. The guitar I am most upset that got away or that I sold was a Webber OM with Macassar ebony. I had never heard of Webber before and came across a used mint 1 year old at Guitar Center. It had been originally sold by the Minor Chord and it was more than 50% it's original cost. I bought it and loved it but during the 45 days Gtr Center window I came across a 1980 mint condition es 175 that I had to have so I returned the Webber and put the funds towards it. I knew I made a mistake and 2 days later went back to buy the Webber but it was gone.
The only good thing that came out of it is that I found a new and great music store in Massachusetts (The Minor Chord) that originally sold the Webber and have since purchased some instruments from them.! |

Many years ago I treaded a Dave Wren and a GW Barry on a Santa Cruz OM.
That would have been around 1992, while the SGCG was a fine instrument it was not a Dave Wren. I bought the Wren used when Dave was still at the Twelfth Fret. That guitar was unspeakably incredible, I miss it greatly. I tried about five years ago to find a similar model, to no avail. It was as fine a guitar as Dave Wren is a fine and decent human being. I now play a Breedlove CM built by Jayson Bowerman, again, it is no Dave Wren. Jonnyd |

Lap Steel
Years ago I had a bright red 6 string lap steel that I let go. I think about that guitar because it sounded so good.

Songwriter
I sold a Songwriter Deluxe to buy a SJ200 and while I like the SJ, I regret parting with my SW deluxe

Plastic Maccaferri gypsy jazz style guitar.
Didn't actually sell it, gave it to a guy who was scrounging through the garbage cans in front of my building. It was a fun guitar to have but anything that hampered my escape from New York had to go.

Gibson SG '61 re-issue. My parents bought it for me when I was a teenager with inheritance from my grandmother. But I was a stupid kid who didn't know the value of money and I sold/traded it in for a Gibson Explorer that was absolute garbage. Makes me want to kick myself now just thinking about it.

I bought a Santa Cruz OM/PW twenty years ago and sold it after seven years. It was my favorite guitar of all time. I bought and sold many since then including other OM/PWs but nothing sounded like that one. I still scratch my head as I try and remember what drove me to sell it

Oof, a very John Hurt guitar....I rarely see a F-30 in shops, but always play it and usually love it when I do!
