onewilyfool Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I often second guess myself over the J-200 Koa I sold…….sigh….it went to a good home at least…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kebob Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Didn't let it go, but I regret not buying a Cheryl Crow Signature model a year ago. It was hanging in my local shop and I could have had it for a discounted price. Unfortunately I couldn't justify it financially at the time. It was purchased shortly thereafter. It was a beast of a guitar. Someday perhaps I'll run across another one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 . Same here kebob. When I was shopping for a SJ, I could have gotten a Sheryl Crow with an Adi top, but ended up with a TV. Down the road, I purchased an AJ Red Spruce and after enjoying the adi top so much I now regret letting that SC SJ get away. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobouz Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 My first Gibson: A 1948 L-48, purchased in the early '70s. Solid arched mahogany top, solid mahogany back & sides, but with a flat & braced back (like a flat-top acoustic). Rather unique, and a lovely tone.

jannusguy2 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I regretted selling my Western Classic and my 1953 SJ. I have replaced them both. New 2013 Western Classic and a 1946 SJ. All is well in the world again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 My first Gibson - a 1930s L-00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieSchooner Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 My Heritage Custom. It was the sweetest, mellowest, warmest guitar I ever heard. But it didn't project real well, and my partner's D-18 sort of drowned it out. So it went down the road for the HD-28 I stll own. I kept track of it for a long time, and vowed I'd buy it back one day. But it's long gone now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretplay Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 My first Gibson: A 1948 L-48, purchased in the early '70s. Solid arched mahogany top, solid mahogany back & sides, but with a flat & braced back (like a flat-top acoustic). Rather unique, and a lovely tone. Well I had the chance of owning a CJ165 with a maple back and sides. I liked it but thought I would check the market first,then decided to go for it but it was sold. I have never seen one since and that's four years ago. I now have a CJ165 Rosewood not many of these about either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 OWF, Wow. That J200K was a beauty. I feel your pain. Only thing worse than 'Buyer's Remorse' is 'Seller's Remorse'. You can fix the former by selling the offending guitar. But you can't fix the latter. Easily. I had a Gibson C0-1 classical I traded in after a year for the only other Gibson I ever got rid of. A ('64 LG1 bought new. I don't regret it - miss it, yes - but I have had the good fortune to replace it with 3 'better' Gibsons. I miss a '75 Corvette I got with many miles on it - but I don't regret selling it. I now have a vehicle that is only 2 years old, actually has Air Conditioning (!), is faster, supremely dependable, etc. So - I feel like the Corvette was just a phase I had to go through to better appreciate cars and trucks that would come to me down the road. So - that LG1 opened up the whole world of music for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phelonious Ponk Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 None really. My two previous Gibsons were a late 60s Southern Jumbo and a mid 60s SJ-200, and neither were great guitars sonically. The OJ sounds so much better than both of them that they're not missed. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
