Whitmore Willy Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Title says it all. A few years back I was looking for a guitar. The Elite series was still in full production. I was looking at a Sheraton Elite (Elitist?) and decided to wait. Bought something else instead. Guess I just figured I could always get one later. Mind you, I have played for many years. I knew music but not a great deal about what really made a guitar what it is. (Actually, most of what little I know came from this forum.) Now I know things usually work out for the best. I know I could still buy one used. Still, to this day I still kick myself every time I think about it. I also sold my dual pickup "63" Olympic (not the special) back around 1970....STUUUPID! How about you folks? Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigneil Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I got my first Gibby LP studio in 1994, i loved it to bits...literally. i played it until the paint was wearing off the neck and the upper bout of the body, then the electrics started dieing after much rough treatment, i sanded the paint off the back of the neck and attempted some modifications.... I figured that the guitar was done for, and sold it for £200. DOH. i didn't realize that good luthier could have fixed it up good ..Doh DOH and DOH again [crying] If i had known then what i know now. ....... Here is a wee pic from 94 during my Heavy Metal phase. I'm sorry it's not an epi.. but for me this is the ONE! The best sounding and playing guitar i ever had.

Whitmore Willy Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 If i had known then what i know now. ....... I hear ya. By the way, Great pic! I'm sorry it's not an epi.. but for me this is the ONE! The best sounding and playing guitar i ever had. No problem. If Duane moves this to the lounge I'll just change the title to "The Guitar That Got Away". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mud guy Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 For me this is easy...It was a limited edition epiphone les paul custom with p90s...here's a pic: I used it to test drive the vox ac4 I ended up buying. A month later I came to my senses and called the store to see if it was still available, but it was not. I ended up with a regular lp custom instead, maybe I'll drop some humbucker size p90s at some point. -Cal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
