This is why i buy inexpensive and just mod them to my liking when i grow tired of them. That or sell it at a gain in most cases then buy two more and start all over. One of these days though i will find my perfect rig and i will lock it down so i can't get rid of it.

GK-330 Guitar Synth, 1999, it seemed like a lot of fun to begin with but became relegated to "unused gimmick" status.

DR drum machine, 2004, 'thought it would be great and worst case, a metronome. Rarely use it and the metronome used is the ancient Seth Thomas wind-up.

'Oughta sell both of those....

I sold my 93 MIJ Telecaster fotoflame for $400 and have regretted it ever since. I liked it better than my Hwy 1 for sure. At the time I needed the cash to fund a Guild acoustic I bought and in hindsight I love the Guild so it was worth it, but damn I would trade my Hwy 1 in a heartbeat to get my old MIJ back. I took a $100 loss on the MIJ and I would gladly pay $100 plus trade my Hwy 1 to get it back.

Look at this one... Wow...

I will not part with my gear. I haven't sold or traded a guitar, pedal or amp since 1975 when I foolishly sold ALL of my gear. I still regret it 35 years later.

The only other regret I have today is that I don't have enough time to enjoy everything I've got.

Stratmansteve, I can only imagine if you haven't sold anything from 1975 on, the strats in your collection must be VERY nice. Am i correct?

I've been unemployed for a little over 19 months. (I finally found a new job and I start this coming Monday). In that time the subject of selling my gear had come up several times, but I refuse to part with my Tele. My Dad bought it for me in 1970 and has a lot of memories attatched to it. It is the only guitar I have that I've named. My wife didn't understand it. I told her that if I ever did sell it, I'd only use the cash to buy more guitars. I asked her if she'd ever hock her wedding rings... that was the end of that discussion.

Rock on quite right we spend far too much time kowtowing to our partners IMO

........ gotta go now and start preparing tea (dinner in the US ?) and get the washing m/c dishwasher loaded.

We've all done it. You see something in the music store you want. You don't take the time to try it out, or do a little research, or think about it, and you wind up selling it and losing money, trading it and losing money, never use it, or just hide it. I bought a new Gibson Faded Brown Mahogany Les Paul when they first came out. I had my tax refund just burnin a hole in my pocket. I played it in the store for a total of 10 minutes, plopped down the change, used it once or twice, traded it off for a Fender Strat with the piezo pickup whatever in the bridge to get that acoustic sound, used it once or twice and put it up for sale , couldn't sell it for months. Needed the cash one day and sold it to the pawn shop for $200 (I was broke!). Funny thing is that I saw that same Strat at Music Go Round about a month later, checked the serial #, it was the same Strat. They wanted $649.00!!


Yeah...been there and done that. Mine was an ESP LTD. Played it in the store, traded some old guitars for it (now I wish I still had them). Played it for about 6 months, just couldn't bond with it. Ended up trading it in for store credit and using it towards my Squire CV 60 purchace. Love that guitar.

The collection isn't real valuable, but it's gear that I use - a half-dozen Strats, a Tele, Jazzmaster, some other Fenders, a couple of Epi's and a Gibson Les Paul. Four amps, all Fender, three of which actually work, and a bunch of pedals. The oldest dates back to the early '80s, but I wish I had my '60s/'70s gear again.

My job has robbed me of most of my free time so I'm not here on the forums like I used to be. And when I get time I'm learning keyboards, recording software and plug-ins, MIDI, and production methods. Oh yes, I have notation software to learn, too. So little time, so much to do.
