There are 2 guitars I'd like back, both bought for me by my dad who has been deceased for 22 years now.

My first guitar, a Cort double cut-away in black with 2 humbuckers and gold stripes down the middle. It really was nothing special, but I'd like it back for sentimental reasons. I still remember plugging it into our home stereo and wondering why I could not get any distortion . Also since I can do my own setups now, who knows what kind of player it could be.

The other one is my first Strat. I got if for Christmas in '86 or '87. It was a new Japanese model with a Kahler Tremolo, red with a black pick guard. I'd love to have that one now that I can play a little... couldn't play at all back then.

Ooh Miami Mike, your 57 sunburst strat! Damn.
Mine would be my black '76 Telecaster, all original, rosewood. I sold it for an airfare to get back to Australia from Europe, in desparate times. That was a sweet sweet guitar. Most of the other ones I've sold were the guitars I could afford at the time, not the ones I actually wanted to play. Now I have the ones I want to play - can't imagine selling any of them!

My 1992 MIM Strat. Totally stock apart from Texas Specials. She played great, sounded great, and looked just beautiful. Was my first electric and I sold her and replaced her with my acoustic. I should have just put the damn acoustic on my VISA.

The only pic of her I have...

I usually keep my guitars. I have about 10 right now, but I did get rid of 2 inexpensive guitars and I would like to have them both back. One was a Squier Affinity Tele in Butterscotch, and the other was an Epi G400 SG. Both were great playing, great sounding guitars. I replaced them with an American Series Tele, and a Gibson SG Standard, but I still miss them.

Those Epi G400s are vastly under rated guitars,I have a G400 Custom(63 Les Paul SG body)with 3 pups and gold hardware and it's a joy to play and hear.I'll never part with it.

I learned to crawl before I could walk. The guitars of my past can not hold a candle to those I own now. That said, I had to leave an old friend behind a few years ago. She was a "no brand" classical guitar. I loved her warm sound and she was just comfortable to play. Wrote some of my early songs on her, too.

As for my guitars and bass I own today, I will live homeless and starve and still never part with them. Taking them to the grave with me.

I had a 69 Gibson ES-355, cherry

I had an '89 American Deluxe Telecaster Plus. I sold it because I didn't like the idea of the body being made of poplar with a thin ash veneer and also because I hated the Lace Sensors but the guitar was so peculiar that I've never seen Fender make another model like it. I do believe one day it may have collector value. The coworker I sold it to has promised me first dibs if he ever sells it so there is hope.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.

Growing up I had various Tiesco's, Kay's, and really cool, ugly, old guitars.
Today some of them would be worth quite a bit. But the nastalgia is the imortant thing. these weren't the highest quality. I didn't have a lot of cash and most of these I found in garage sales. Today a lot of people who just collect (or just want to sell) and don't pllay snatch these things up. They are harder to find now. Granted; now I have some high quality guitars. But I do miss the ones I started out with. We always want what we don't have.

BTW,good post!
