Have you ever sold an instrument and regretted it?

[Blooby]

I had a Cemar Chinese made Jazz copy. It was fucking awful. I regret selling it, it should have been burned.

Ba-zing!

Oh shit, have you got it now?

Got it...  Burned it.

I've only ever sold 1, it was a piece of sh$t Kay Strat, but it was my piece of sh$t - and I instantly regretted it. If I could find it again, I'd buy it again! Never sold anything else!

Yep, an original Fender Jazzmaster and a Gibson Melody Maker. I wouldn't sell another guitar ever unless it was for the good of my family. Roscoe

Only once: a 90's Rickenbacker 360/12 with natural finish and black hardware. I traded it for a Fender Jazzmaster, which I found much more playable at the time.

I still have the Jazzmaster, but more than once I've wished I still had the Rick.

yep my 1975 Ibanez, golden woodgrain, flying V.

Back in the 80's I bought a lovely Ibanez semi from a second hand shop in Salford.  It was a great guitar.  Then a couple of years later in a moment of madness I bought a rubbish BC Rich (in my VH phase).  I had to sell the Ibanez to pay off the BC Rich (I was a poor student).  Then a year or so later again I sold the Rich for my Tokai Breezy, which is still my main guitar now, nearly 30 years on (I don't regret getting rid of the BC Rich).

This is the only pic I have of the Ibanez, though. I never did find out what model it is, nor can I find any pictures on the web of a guitar like it.  Anyone help?

I don't know what model it is but Ibanez has an archive of all their old catalogs. You should be able to find it in one of them and learn the model number that way.

Since you said you bought it in the eighties, you could start there. But you also said it was second-hand, so it might have been made in the seventies.

Two things in particular I regret.
1. My Shergold Marathon bass, sold for £90, I should never have let that one go.
2. The Arbiter Fuzzface I bought from a junk shop for £5, to use with my 1st  6 string (a truly awful SG copy). Unfortunately it sat in my shed for years & then I finally threw it out (before the Internet revolution). Didn't find out my mistake until the advent of e-bay

something about the Jazzmaster always makes me wish I was right handed

My Jazzmaster looks exactly like this one, except this appears to be museum-quality:



Mine's just a bit more used-looking , with some of the blue paint rubbed off here and there and a crack in the pickguard near the lead jack. I believe it's a 1969 or 1970 model. I think I need to use it on a new recording...
