SteveFord Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I can only think of 3 I'd really like back: Late 70s ES 335, wine red w/ coil tap switch and trapeze tail piece 74 SG Standard in red which was just astonishingly aggressive sounding through a Marshall stack 2005 Firebird VII in candy apple red which just exuded class. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 None Every guitar I have sold I am glad I sold. And that is maybe 4 guitars, and a bass and a banjo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01GT eibach Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Not sure this counts, but ... I should have bought a 1979 Les Paul KM while it was still brand new and in my hands. Fabulous guitar. And ... I never should have sold my 1989 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II (just like this one except this one pictured has some ungodly modification to the - otherwise - beautiful stock rims): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Nor me. I have sold only a few. Though two I kept and used for 45 & 25 years. Even so, no backward glances. No regrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) The very first electric guitar I ever bought (when I was in a garage band, back in high school) was a used 1971 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe. A gold-top. Had to have it after I sawr Jeff Lynne playing one on the television. Sold it stupidly when I joined the Army and left home to go off to Basic Training at Fort Jackson, SC. I am happy to report that the fellow I sold it to still owns it and plays it to this day. So I got that going for me. 😞 Edited April 5, 2020 by sparquelito 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle fester Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 My 2000 american standard strat... had a fret buzz issue i just couldn't resolve / get resolved (but now i believe it might be the people I was working with to resolve it). sold it out of exasperation. I miss it. but i've been bonding with my SG as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) I haven't owned as many guitars as most of you, but I have gotten rid of quite a few. I don't really miss any guitars that are gone, because I love the ones I've got. But, to answer the question, if I had to name any, they would be a 1999 American Standard Strat or a 2003 Gretsch G6120 Nashville. That was the only Strat I ever owned, and as many mods as I made to it, I could never really bond. Edited April 5, 2020 by zigzag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) 1966 or '67 rosewood board Strat, large headstock, ser.no. 161234. Sold with case for £350 to Vintage and Rare guitars at the turn of the 80s, about 3 weeks before the Strat revival started! Probably worth £8-10k+? now..... Also in pic; original 70s Hagstrom Swede, original Roland JC120 - all long gone. Edited April 5, 2020 by jdgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I wish I didn't sell my SG Classic. But the money went to help purchase a MacBook for my son to take to college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 D-18, D-28 and D-35. But what replaced them, is far superior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Mac Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 My Epiphone Korina 1958 Flying V! Oh, and I wish I still had my '74 Telecaster but, I traded it for my '66 ES-330 and I don't regret that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 The Gary Moore BFG I had... I sold it mainly cos I didn't get on with the fat neck.. I hadn't started building at that point. If I still had it I would have shaved the neck down myself now... The thing about this guitar is it didn't look or sound like any other guitar I have or have played.. Proper unique... I loved the barely finished look and it had a proper monster sound, especially in the middle position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsongs Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) I regret selling a mid to late 50's Gibson Les Paul Jr. with P90. And a mint Vintage Sunburst 1959 Gibson ES345 Stereo. You know, the one with Original PAF Humbuckers... Best sounding Guitar I've ever heard.. I've been chasing that Sound ever since.. Nothing does.. A couple come close but nothing compares to those Pickups on that Guitar.. I was so naive.. Edited April 8, 2020 by Larsongs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelT Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I'm glad I sold my '78 Strat. It was evil. I wish I hadn't sold my Electra Workingman. There's a couple other guitars I had when I first started playing but they were sufficiently horrible so I don't miss them much. Others I've sold over the years, I don't miss much. Pretty much just the one I wish I could get back because it was my first decent electric guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPguitarman Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Back in the late '80's or early '90's, I sold a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Gold Top. But since I now have my Gibson Les Paul Classic Antique, I don't really miss it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhwildbill Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Only sold a few but they were to finance upgrades. No regrets at all. I expect they're in better loved homes than mine would have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
