Biggest Regret?

Re: Biggest Regret?

Nothing too special that I regret, but I suppose I'd not mind having back these:

1) My old Kramer Focus 6000. Not a great or particularly bad guitar, but it holds a certain amount of nostalgia.

2) 1989 Fender Strat Plus Deluxe. I traded it for a great Rivera amp, but I wouldn't mind having the Strat back. It was modded some with a new pickguard and some EMG SV's when I traded it.

3) And maybe a Tubeworks RT-2112 combo that I used to own. It was a pretty light amp and it had a unique tone to it. Again, it may be more nostalgia than anything else though. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Biggest Regret?

I have had a couple . My first was a ESP Kama 1 in the neck pocket was 11/87. That guitar could play itself. My next one was trading my 1977 Fender strat in SG maroon which I recently found out was a semi rare color for that year. Who knew the late CBS strats would finally become worth something. Traded for my 1989 Charvel model 375. The trade soured the Charvel for me and I never play the thing. Last was trading away my 1986 Charvel model 2 for some amp back in the 80s.

Luvgun is that the same Jackson 83sandimas has?

Re: Biggest Regret?

I don't know.
It actually went to Tim Rose about 2 years ago, so anything is possible.
If anyone here has it... I would LOVE to get it back.

Re: Biggest Regret?

My refinished '56 Strat. That guitar was pure magic. If I find a pic I will post it.

I also regret selling my very first Soloist I bought in the early 90's. I am still trying to replace that guitar.

For back in 1985 selling a 1981 Les Paul Black Beauty Active Artist for $500 because nobody wanted a Les Paul at the time. That guitar is probably worth $3K now.

Re: Biggest Regret?

i believe in "out of sight out of mind". i have sold approximately 10 jackson usa's (mostly soloists). they all played well, some had cool paint, but i didn't play them so i figured i could part with them....the upside is that the ones i culled were "recycled" into more unique custom shop pieces...none of which i will part with!

It was stripped down and refinished natural when I bought it. I refinished it the 50's shade of fender metallic gold (NOT Shoreline), played it for maybe 3 years and when the paint started turning green on the wear spots I refinished it one last time to a sort of three tone burst. It was a yellow center, medium brown inner band and dark brownish black (Salem) on the edge. It was patterned off of a '56 stock finish Strat a buddy had.
