The "I will never sell this guitar" Thread

LordOxygen

I have a 1995 Yamaha RGX 121D (a derivative of a Pacifica) that my parents bought me as a teenager.
Around 8mths ago, I spent around £150 having new pots, switch and a fret level and dress. 
After 25yrs I'll never sell it, it's worth next to sod all to anyone else anyway.

Loving that Firebird with the humbuckers , never liked the pickups on those....

I'm confused??

I guess he means that he never liked standard Firebird mini humbuckers, so he likes that one, with full-size pickups (which is exactly how I feel about it, too)

If anyone cares, the pickups are 498T Neck and 500T Bridge.

The body is a flat top because it's a set neck instead of the Neck-Thru design usually associated with a Firebird.

It sounds like an SG with more thump behind it and it feels like manchester with strings on it.

I think it's the most awesome guitar I've ever owned.

They're all special to me in different ways but my Firebird is the most awesome.

Firebird Studio was my gigging guitar for around five years. I had Bare Knuckle Rebel Yells in mine. Great guitar that attracted a lot of attention.

My American Original is modded to oblivion, selling it would definitely come at a loss, but it’s just how I want it. Keeper

My Axis, will probably never see another quilt like that on one.

Excellent player too, although the waxed necks do have their foibles. Just a part of owning them.

I WILL NOT SELL MY 1978 TELECASTER.................

Until it's doubled in value!

I've already posted in this thread but have since upgraded the guitar - its a 1997/98 (I think) Squier Affinity Strat I got when I was 13. The first ever guitar I got from my parents (which took ALOT of convincing for them to get me). Its the guitar I grew up learning and trying to play Green Day songs on through my teens, gigged my first few shows with and a teaching guitar.

Last summer I had it totally upgraded from hardware to electronics, changing it to a HSS configuration. The thing outplays a Fender American I reckon, and is my no.1 guitar. It's 23 years old and I want to keep it for another 23!

Thanks again to Jon and the team at Feline for transforming it from a toy to a "real" Strat, very happy with how it sounds:

It’s excellent

1991 Washburn dread, gift from parents

1998 American Deluxe strat, bought secondhand around 2000. It's got a neck that's living on borrowed time, but it's the best sounding strat I've played south of £2k. Main gig guitar for nearly 20 years.

Taylor nylon unexpectedly bequeathed to me by a dear friend. 

Everything else is disposable.

I’ve got another too but I’m waiting to do a mega delayed NGD on it

Happy to see I haven't changed my mine since posting nearly 2 years ago. I reckon I'd probably add my SG to the list too.

I don’t like Teles. Prefer Anthrax to Brad Paisley.

However, in a strange twist of fate ended up with a Cs Nocaster a year ago. Nothing else gets a look in. At all. My playing has improved also. 

Have considered selling everything else....but gave myself a good slap and I’m ok now. 

I love teles.

I would sell any of mine, for a price. The jazzmaster, thinline tele would be £700 each or so I suppose. I'd keep at least one. My prs alike would be £350 as it needs work. 

The strat would be a grand because it's so damn good. But no one would pay those prices for partscaster so it doesn't matter.

I think a spade would work better.

How many of these survived the lockdown gear frenzy?

Just played my Tele through a new setup and I think it's still my favourite guitar.

The acoustic I mentioned didn't even make it to lockdown.  I've come to embrace selling gear, none have any sentimental meaning to me and then I can try other stuff.  In fact I can feel a purge coming on : )

I've lost track of your current stash, what are you holding?

I wish I could keep them, I really do, I am So much better than a few years ago. where it was just as much fun as actually playing them, how'ver I'm not doing too bad atm, I have one up for sale which tbh I'm not bothered if it sells or not as really I won't find a better strat. An acoustic which I love and an sc relics Paisley tele which isn't going anywhere, but that always changes unfortunately. 

However the more I play them the longer they stay. I just realistically don't need to electrics
