Thats good advise bss most I have sold were bought for that purpose others I would never get rid of.

I understand what you guys mean, and I must confess that there is always the GAS effects. And yes, I am attached to the Epi. On the other hand, I can't see it serving as anything but a backup guitar for the time being. My Telecaster is perfectly suited to the music I play with my group. I think a Strat would make a much more viable second guitar for the more rock-tinged stuff we play, not to mention the fact that this is a pretty decent deal. What it comes down to now is waiting for the guy to e-mail me back, and then making a decision. It's a tough call.

the highway one is a great guitar however I dont know about the epi ... so I cant give a recommendation

Guitars aren't people, even though you may feel some attachment to it, always remember..it doesn't feel the same way about you. I don't understand keeping them around so they can sit in their case and be unused (unless you intend it to be collectible), especially when there's a deal right in front of you that will get you something you will actually use.

I've sold many guitars, and noticed that the ones that get seriously considered for selling/trading,..are not the ones I would miss.

Thanks for all the replies folks, but I've got some bad news. The guy e-mailed me this morning and said that he changed his mind. Apparently he thinks the Epi isn't worth it. Oh well, maybe it's all for the best. I'll save some money this summer and buy a Strat in the fall.

Yeah, what he says!!!!

That's the thing that happens when you don't react on your gut decision. Next time you find something you want don't hesitate and ask the lot of us because we all have differing opinions, Yours is the one that counts and you have to live with. Good luck in the future my friend!
