    Re: The Guitars you wished you never sold

    I've never been either so desperate nor so foolish to have ever sold a guitar that I shouldn't have.

      Re: The Guitars you wished you never sold

      I had a custom shop ESP DV8 that cost me.. well . A lot. and I sold it for less than half what I paid for it, when times were tough a couple years ago. It was a magnificent instrument and I still kick myself. Could've swallowed my pride and borrowed some money instead

        GTX 23. One I had was spot on to this pic. Sounded and played great! Traded it and an Ibanez Cimar towards my first M-II Deluxe

        Squier Bullet. This was really neat to play on. Can't remember if I sold or traded this one.

              Thankfully never been in that situation.

              I've only ever parted with two guitars, one was a Cort that I did like but don't miss and the other was a Washburn MG100 which I do miss but that traded for an ESP Horizon that has become my new no.1-ish because of how light it is.

                  A yamaha sg. serial number dated it to 1984 'sold in japan'.. i guess there's a difference between what's made in japan and sold for the USA. Anyways, I have no idea what model it was, it had non split-diamond inlays but some ornate stuff I haven't seen on any guitar. I sold it to a friends brother and as far as I know, he still has it and won't part with it. For good reason. everything was stock on it except for the tuning machines I replaced with full size grovers.

                      Ah yes, I also sold my Aged Honey Burst ESP Eclipse to put a down payment on a car to get me to a job that was far away. The car turned out to be a lemon piece of crap and the job sucked. >_<

                        That really bites. What kinda car was it ? And that's a really nice guitar but you'll replace it eventually.

                          It was a '98 Honda Accord.

                          I recently tried the EC1000T with the Satin Honey Burst top but I didn't like it as much. I did try the EII Eclipse in Satin Black and Vintage Black and I liked those a lot more so I think it'll be one of those or a Aged Honey one again. They don't make the latter anymore - it's actually noticeably lighter than the EII's.

                              I had a really nice es335 that i traded for a benedetto bambino. The bambino was one of the most beautiful guitars i ever saw, but my picking arm refused to lock into it. So, i traded it for a k-line strat.

                              End result was that i like the k-line more than both of those, so i'm lucky. I do miss that 335 though. It really made my juices flow.

                                Forgot about the #1 worst one ever. My Mustaine KV1. It was a 1997 in mint condition I bought out of a drummer's closet. One of the best playing and sounding guitars I've ever touched.

                                Sold it around 2012 to pay some bills, when I got some money back I went to buy it back from the guy and he had already moved it. I sold it for stupidly cheap. Stupidly cheap.

                                They go for like $5000 now. Luckily I have a Japanese one now but it just ain't the same.

                                Another one is a Gibson Firebird VII I bought for like $3000. Didn't really like it. Traded it for a 50's reissue Stratocaster. Guy assured me they were equal in value. Didn't end up liking the Strat. Sold that for like $700. Yowch
