It being Monday now (where I am), I just sold the first really awesome electric guitar I ever owned
My bad photography does not do it justice as to how beautiful that Brian Moore Guitars I12000 series is (obviously the red/orange quilted guitar).
I still remember the day I brought the guitar home, and compared it to my strat copy and just thinking how amazing the playability was and how amazing the tone was compared to my crappy strat copy.
I loved the guitar so much, but in the end, I felt limited with 6 strings and 22 frets.
I wanted a guitar with more range, a guitar that would let me play songs written in lower tunings without needing to retune and yet I wanted to still play all the stuff I used to play on a guitar tuned to E standard and unfortunately, the BMG I12000 was not cutting it for that, so I ended up barely playing it when I got my first 7 string guitar.
As I said, I loved her dearly, played her often and was always so impressed by the feel and playability and the incredibly workmanship that went into the guitar. If the guitar were made in the USA, it would have been incredible, but the fact a South Korean guitar could be made to such a high quality was mind blowing.
It came from the factory with almost no flaws at all.
In a way, it's like saying to a friend "We can still be friends, but can't hang out so much anymore", since I ended up selling it to one of my best friends (who also bought my strat copy at the end of 2006), and part of me is a little sad about the sale.
My mate was in a bit of a musical rut and being stuck with a guitar that was crap to play and had bad tone made him barely want to practice anymore.
In a way, I'm happy to see the guitar go to someone who will love it and care for it as much as I did. He even told me the day he bought it, he already felt inspired to just start practicing regularly again now that he had in his possession a very fine, professional level instrument.
Lastly, to be honest, I'm not a collector, so if an instrument doesn't get played, it's too hard to justify keeping it when someone else who would want to play it so badly and otherwise couldn't afford it brand new but can afford it at the price I'm selling it for wants it so badly.
So that's my story.
How about you guys?
Anything to add to my story? Questions? Comments?
Or even got your own tale about the first electric guitar you truly fell in love with but in the end for some reason or another had to sell?
I'd love to hear what you've got to say
