Gear you sold and now miss

Very little really. I've bought and sold, like most on here, an inordinate amount of gear but once I've decided to move it on I lose the connection with it. Having said that, this DC Les Paul Goldtop was a great guitar, I just wish I could get on with the LP shape!

Yep I wish I'd kept that too @dindude

Money troubles hit me hard when I had to let that go.

I'll never forgive myself for trading my Gibson Custom ES-335 Satin Black though.

Really wish I could roll the clock back for that one...

My two were both sold after splitting with my ex and needing the cash, I had a MIJ telecaster in blonde I had to sell and it was lovely.

The other was a Washburn Strat type thing in spalted maple, lovely guitar and looked amazing.

Just my first amp. A Selmer combo with the Crocodile finish. I would love to have that now.

A Zodiac Twin Fifty?

I had one of those...wish I still had it...now, that IS a regret!

I regret selling my drumkit - it wasn't a top of the line kit or anything, but it was nice and I like playing drums. When I look back through old photos there are a few pedals I liked a lot and I can't exactly remember why I sold them, but I'm sure I had my reasons.

Actually there's a lot more stuff that I regret buying - either because it turned out to be no good for me or because I did eventually sell it and didn't miss it when it was gone. If I could go back in time, I'd give my younger self a list of gear that really served me well and was a good purchase and just tell him to go with that, don't bother about all the experimenting with new pedals/ amps because I did all that for him.

A Westbury Standard I sold to @Sarge
A Silverface Fender Twin Reverb
An EHX Freeze
And funnily enough, a Danelectro PB&J delay are all things things that I'd be happy to have again. I don't miss them as such because I have moved on and got other gear I like as much/be more practical.

This thread got me thinking to items on here that were in the Classifieds that I regretted not buying....another thread maybe

The only one I really regret selling was a 1998 PRS McCarty with a rosewood neck. I've got other really good guitars (partly funded by that sale) but I did like that one.

I also regret selling a Mk1 Marshall Bluesbreaker pedal. I refuse to pay what they are going for now to get another. I might build myself a clone sometime.

I don't regret selling my SG, as I was a student, had just bought my CS336, and needed food more than I needed 2 Gibsons, but I miss it and would buy back in a heartbeat (PLEASE let me know if you or someone you know bought a 2003 SG Special with graph tech saddles and his cox case in 2006 from eBay!)

The Jazzmaster I regret selling, as it was a great guitar, sold only to buy a nice-but-generic chinese Burny which felt like a great idea but only got played for 1 gig before the band split. Whereas I recorded our best track on that JM. But I wouldn't buy it back because I'd really like to build a dream-spec JM from MJT and that'll probably be my next guitar.
