Ever re-bought a guitar back that you sold?

axisus

...... And was it a good idea or not? I haven't personally.

Yep - Sometimes you don't realize how good it is until it's gone (plus it was only a cheapy)

I would buy back my G&L Invader, provided it is still in perfect condition - I like looking after my stuff

impmann

Yes - a few times.

The most recent one being the Shergold 12 string that I sold to @monofin and regretted it... and gentleman that he is, he sold it back to me.

And funnily enough then regretted selling it back to @impmann . Funny old world is GAS.
Damn fine guitar that - best 12 string i've had the pleasure of owning

Yup. 

Raygun SG Jr- I bought & sold it 3 times! Each time I sold it to fund something "better" (a Gibson 2015 Jr, a Edwards LP & a strat). If it came up for sale I'd consider buying it again. It sounds great & looks amazing, the neck is a smidge too thin for me though. 

Squier Bass VI- fun things, sold it because I didn't know what it was "for". Bought another. Still fun, still couldn't work out a use to justify it! Sold it again & bought a "real" bass.

About 5 times, possibly 6 if finances finally pan out.

I'd love to buy my old Epiphone Les Paul back (the guitar in my avatar). It wasn't an expensive guitar, but it was fabulous to play and sounded wonderful once I'd put a pair of Iron Gear Rolling Mill pickups in it.

PRS Standard 22 Satin.  I bought it back for the price I sold it, but in the meantime it had had a nice fret dress and setup, so I felt I'd done quite well out of it.

I sold it again soon after though, to a bloke in Hungary if I remember right, so I don't expect to see it again.

Bought and sold an old Fender Telecaster Deluxe three times

Don’t think so. Not yet..

Only once. My first 'good' guitar was a USA Telecaster Custom. Sold it because it was too heavy and I fancied a lightweight acoustic for folk nights. Bought it back a year later from the store I sold it to. It was still too heavy and was soon gone for good.

I've done it many times with pedals, usually because I'm wondering if it would work better with a different guitar. They seldom do and it's a habit I've been able to break.

I’ve not got an actual guitar I’ve sold, but I’ve gone back and brought the same model when I regretted selling a guitar.
The one I’d definitely buy back in a second was a custom shop 61 telecaster custom in sunburst. I traded it with sound affects for a Knaggs I hated. It was just over 6lbs and lovely and resonant. One of my dumber moves

Think I've owned 2 guitars 3 times and another twice. Still got the one I've owned twice. 

Madness.

Still, fun at the time. I think

Never gone back to a sold guitar.

Yup, my Haar 58 S-type. I bought it in 2015 as it is wonderful. After about 18 months I needed a bit of cash, and also thought that I'd like to assemble a partsacaster myself (my green strat with rosewood neck), so I sold it to a noob on here. 

Over the past 6 months I've thought more and more about that guitar, to the point where I contacted Haar about making me another, I even paid a deposit, and blow me if a couple of weeks later my old one appeared on ebay for sale. I bought it in an instant. And it's great to be reunited.

robgilmo

Two of the three I have sold I would buy back in an instant.

jdgm

Yes.

I bought a 1967 Tele in USA in 1980, brought it home to UK and sold it after a couple of years.

About 2 years later I realised I'd made a terrible mistake, so I contacted the buyer (who had several Teles) and he sold it back to me, making a profit. It cost me lots but I'm very glad I did that as I could not afford to do so these days -  still have it and will do until I die, I hope.
