My Taylor GS
I sold it on Craigslist to a husband and wife who loved it and both would be playing it. I contacted them at 3 different times to try to buy it back, but, no success.  TAYLOR GS (4).jpg

In 40 years of buying, selling and horse trading instruments and music gear I have parted with many nice vintage and high end pieces as well as cheap but cool stuff--more than I can possibly remember, but I don't have many regrets about the things I've willingly parted with.
They would include the following four things: 1973 Fender Telecaster. Greatest neck I've ever put my hand around of any string instrument I've held. Played like butter, sounded like a dream. I've owned more desirable (from a collector's standpoint) but never owned or played a nicer Fender electric. 1965 Fender Vibro Champ amp. Early 80s Japanese Tokai Precision bass copy. Bought for $75 at a Tulsa pawn shop. Played hundreds of gigs with it. Still regret trading it and miss it every day. Unknown Epiphone acoustic. Some probably 60s model. Needed a neck reset but I loved it. I never have figured out what model it was. It wasn't my first acoustic, but it was the one I had when I first got serious about playing blues, ragtime and other old time acoustic music. Now, unfortunately I have lost a lot of other nice instruments to theft and natural disaster, but that's a separate sad story...

I had a Taylor BTO, sinker redwood over macassar ebony. Should have never let that one go.

Definitely an early 90s Martin D35 12 string. The truss rod broke and rather then get if fixed I sold it, as is. I should have kept it.

If I'm allowed to include a buy that never happened, which made my brother sell my grandfather's guitar, then that was it.
Still kicking myself for allowing that sale... PJ

I haven't sold any "good" guitars, but I had a Yamaha LJ6 that I really liked and stupidly let go.

I regret selling an Arctic White MIM Fender Strat. I had swapped out the (crappy) ceramic pickups for the Fender Tex Mex alnico set, and the bridge pickup was wired to its own tone knob--the middle pickup was left "open" (no tone knob associated with it). I sold it one day when I realized I had 4 Strats and could only play one at a time. I still have a *great* Strat, but I miss that one from time to time.

My Peavey T-40 bass. The original model. They weren't all that popular, but I liked it. They weighed a ton, but I liked it. It had a tobacco sunburst finish that was absolutely gorgeous. I wish I kept it.
Not a guitar but... The other regret was my Wurlitzer electric piano. Not a high-tech instrument like others I performed on, but years later, I find it's the one that I should have never sold off. Last edited by menhir; 10-19-2018 at 08:07 AM.

The dumbest thing I ever did was sell a 1930's Hensel Parlour Guitar because I didn't have the $$ at the time, for a neck reset. I'll leave it at that. My kids even thought I should have held onto that one.
Less tragic - I had an old CBS Masterworks acoustic, ladder-braced, that I fixed up, added a tusk saddle... I wish I had kept that one. Also had an old "Martin" Goya from the early 80's I fixed up and moved on, that I wish I kept. Never had a guitar over $700.00 new. Never had the "paper & iron", when younger, and when I got married and had four kids... Never had the "paper & iron", or the urge. I wish I had both the aforementioned in my low-budget stable, though. They were very different guitars, but very fun to play.
