bolero Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 damn it's hard to sell a guitar you've grown attached to... I have a blue 150 that's a bit redundant, as I'm using the 150 sunburst I bought off Jack more, plus my "main" 150 how do you guys flip so many guitars? isn't it painful to watch them go? just had a thought..I just finished Keith Richards' autobiography ( it's a fantastic read!! ) maybe I need a dedicated 5 string Keef-tuned Heritage...

schundog Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Unless it is a rare model that I think I may not be able to get ahold of easily in the future should I change my mind, I guess I'm short sided enough to see the benefit of the money I get from the sale to get what I "REALLY" want (this week.) I haven't sold my G ES-335 because it sounds/looks great, and while not particularly rare, I had to go through about 10 to find THIS one, and it's not perfect (neck heavy). Plus, I don't know that I could ever allow myself to spend that much for a guitar again. It was the most expensive one I've ever bought, by about a $1000.

heritagefan7 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I recently walked up to the line to sell my 555--then walked away and decided to keep it,, and just keep saving cash until I had what I needed to add to what I've got. ( I am selling my bike to make it happen though) I am totally glad that I didn't sell---and owe much to the HOC foreverybody's good words abt keeping it....many, many thanks!!!!!

pegleg32 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I have always tried hard to not become attached to any particular guitar, but as time goes by, I find my "do no sell" pile is growing and growing. Now I find myself trying to keep my wife up to date on values so she will know what to ask for them should somethng happen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I still have (and play) every guitar I have every owned, except the first one (a Jazzmaster replica), which was part of the payment for my second one. I miss that Jazzmaster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitfiddler Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Some of us form close personal relationships with their gear. For me this has been particularly so with each Heritage guitar I've owned. I have bought and sold some very fine Gibsons and high end Ibanez gits, but I have yet to sell ANY of my Heritage guitars. They are like family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Only sold two guitars I wish I hadn't. My wife keeps me grounded pretty much about which guitars to turn or not. Altho the final decision is always mine. And once I've sold a guitar I try not to even think about it. It's gone and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoNameBand Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I couldn't sell any of mine. I only buy ones I want to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I couldn't sell any of mine. I only buy ones I want to keep. That's what I think about all of them when I first get them. Turns out, takes something more than just the brand or style, etc., to get me to bond that tightly to a guitar. Current list of "nevers" that I could say is probably the truest is my '74 LPC, '95 PRS CE24, the H40 Mandolin, the Custom Prospect and the PSPIII White 535 Custom. But each of these has been used or involved in a situation that has a deeper meaning to me. My other H's and G's and and and haven't done that yet. So, they could find themselves on the block any time soon. In fact, contemplating two more moves right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 i can't flip em either. I regret selling the ones I did, even thou they were closet queens. and the point about keeping a list of the gits you own and what they are is a good bit of advice.

MichYank Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I'm with you guys - can't sell 'em! I have a '73 Strat that I struggle playing, we just don't mix. But, there are so many good memories associated with it for other reason so, what the hey, why sell it if I don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
