Must be the season. For getting old gear back. Its very rare you get one you regret selling back. Happy for you.
My gear reunion story:
I had an old freind from back 20yrs ago freind me on FB.
Through another mutual freind I was informed that my old freind had my old Strat that I had sold his brother 20yrs ago.
So I asked about buying it back and he just said trade me something. So I gave him my partscaster I had built.
Guitar needed sone work since I last saw it but shes back together with new plastic electronics and an upgraded Callaham trem.
I was especially syked as this guitar went half way accross the country with me on a club tour I did.

Man that's great story! I sold my first guitar, an Ibanez DT250 Destroyer (also X shaped) to a local guy I knew because the neck was beginning to warp slightly. (Informed him of that of course 
). I let it go for almost nothing because of that. In fact there was'nt much point of my selling it all. I guess I was just so disappointed that it was kinda f'ed up. But then after it started sinking in I started feeling pretty upset I let it go. I'm generally not a particularly sensitive sort but It was my first guitar with a lot of great memories attached to it. Fast forward about twenty years and my buddy/bandmate Vik presented it back to me for my birthday. He'd heard me bitching about selling it so often, he located the guy I'd sold it to and bought it BACK from him. I was utterly overjoyed! It's now totally unplayable & it looks like shit 
but I'm super glad I got it back all the same..

My first guitar, mid 80s, was a cheap plywood japanese offset, the very same guitar Cure's Robert Smith played originally (Top Twenty was the model, under different brand names, Woolworth, Sakai etc..), a friend of mine lent me for a couple of years, it was his father's instrument he didn't play anymore. Then I bought my first Fender Stratocaster (MIJ, I still have it, still my #1) and I gave it him back.
Fast forward, 2015, I met the same friend I haven't met since, a couple of months later he donated me this guitar, saying nobody touched since, so it was mine

I watched a history of video last night
Said that fender wanted a low cost alternative to the Standard
Got some made in Japan
Realized they were better QC than what was being made in California
Suspended US building for a year and all of them were made in Japan for a bit ( mid 80s)
Then the restart US building with a 54, a 57, & a 62 reissue made in USA
So the Japan Squires and Fenders were all there was for a time
By buddy has a Japanese Squire from the 80s with a Floyd
He played it for 3 decades

Mine is a 86 Fujigen strat (I bought it in 88), I can confirm, top level
Edit: I've just realized this year it's the 40th birthday of this guitar , I'm shocked
