I've sold a couple guitars that I've regretted afterwards. A new guitar always helps

ouch, even if you didn't play it often you still should have kept it!

I am going to do the same thing with a large quantity of my guns when i return home. i am keeping the essentials but getting rid of most others. My guitar flock is currently at a smallish size so i am not touching them. If anything i will be getting 1 or 2 more.

I look at investment-grade guitars the same way I look at stocks; don't sell them when their value is down...just hang on to them, with the hope that the value will rise again.

Right now is a buyer's market for pre-CBS Fenders. I was shocked at the (relatively) low price* of a couple of Strats I saw on-line...the same axes would have brought almost double that ten years ago.

*(Of course, even at the lower "bargain" rates, vintage guitars might as well be a million dollars...I still don't have the money to get one. )

So, as far as money sense goes, sell the "lesser" (i.e., the non-vintage, reissue, replaceable, common) instruments you aren't playing; that should free up some cash. After that, re-examine what you're still holding.

Don't sell one that "moves" you for whatever reason (sentimental, playability, "vibe"), no matter what the value is; you will regret it.

Nevin really mate seek some financial advice, don't buy yet!
As a previous poster said interest rates are going to soar, wherever you live in the western world. We've all got to pay back China and Japan for the money we owe them. And now we've got Libya and Egypt to fund too. (Paying for Iraq and Afghanistan has more to do with the US and UK's current financial crisis than anyone will admit). Though you live in neither of those countries the US' financial state has a significant bearing on the world economy.

The first three years on your mortgage are the hardest. You really don't need that interest rise to happen in that time. So sell now if you really must, but save the dough. And please make sure the interest rate on the savings at least matches your countries inflation rate. Don't want the dough being worth less coming out as it was going in.
Or buy bullion, gold never decreases in value. It never really gains, it's always relative to the value of money. So it's a safe option.
