Sorry you are in this situation. One thing I haven't heard yet is which one would sell more easily or fetch a higher price? They both sound like special, high end instruments, which have a relatively smaller market. If I were in your position I would base the decision on which instrument would result in more funds or quicker sale.

But you like the way the SC plays and sounds. To me I would always choose a player over a looker. |

good point,i feel like i could get more for the Woolson, his current base models start at 5K currently, but my SC didn't cost that much. I"ve had both listed for a while, and only got one offer for the SC which was about 400$ less then i wanted to let it go for - mostly have just gotten trade offers for the SC |

yes, that does sum it up. I keep on trying to make the woolson more to suit my style. but over time, i have learned i'm much more of an acoustic guy vs an electric guy.

OK so you are trending more toward acoustic playing and the Woolson has ergonomic issues for you. That really seems to make the decision. Yes, you could always replace the SC later more easily, but it seems a boutique guitar like the Woolson may fetch more cash upon sale. (I'm not familiar with them BTW so going on what you've said previously).
What I normally suggest for these questions is to consider losing them both to theft. With the insurance money, would you replace either, both, or go in a whole different direction? That kinda tells you which decision would be most palatable after the fact. Or listing both, which one would you regret selling if it went first? |

I would keep the Santa Cruz.

Nothing else in your budget that you can cut out? Little things can add up a lot over the course of a month. Fancy espresso drinks? Lunch or dinners out? Movies?
Of the two, it sounds like, as lovely as the tone is, the archtop is less of a "fit." Flog it, and then after things turn around, look for a replacement with the same good tone but a better fit. "A person who can not cast away possessions at need is in fetters" - Lazarus Long - |

One guitar fits you, the other doesn't.
Keep the one that fits.

I agree with this. Santa Cruz is so consistent. I bought a 1929 00 for $2900 sold it for $2700, bought another a while later for $2900 and sold it for $2850. The 1929s are very consistent and you could always buy another with the same great tone, feel and price. I tried to get used to the saddle spacing but ultimately it didn’t work for me. The Don Edwards model has the wider saddle spacing.

If you have exhausted all other options I would approach it this way
1) Which guitar do I most play 2) Which do you think might be more marketable 3) Post both guitars in the buy and sell part of this forum with the explanation what ever one sells first the other you will keep. 4) Are you sure the Neighbor next door won't pay a reward to have his mother in law back?

Can't you sell something else, like your car or your home?
You could move back in with your parents.

This would be an easy choice for me. I’d sell the guitar with the neck I didn’t like. Neck shape is the most important aspect of a guitar for me.
