Ever Had A Guitar That You Didn't Appreciate Until It Was Gone?....Which One?

  • I've had two that come to mind.....


    1. 62 Vintage Reissue Straocaster, with Kinman Woodstocks - I've spent most of my life looking for a Stratocaster that sounded like the strat sound that I hear in my head. I actually had it with my 62 VIntage Reissue Strat, but I didn't recognize it until I had sold that Strat, and started looking for another one. I have yet to find another strat that sounded like the one I sold.

    2. Gretsch Spectrasonic - Traded one of my guitars for a Gretsch Spectrasonic, which I loved, but went into GAS mode for some reason and traded the Gretsch. Regretted it ever since. That guitar covered so many bases. Hope to own another one some day.......

    1983 Ibanez Roadstar II RB650. It was my first bass, so there was no way to really appreciate how good it was at the time. I sold it in 1986 and have regretted it ever since. I don't think I had a better sounding P-Bass until I got the '64 in my avatar. I did wind up buying another a few years ago, but the neck on that one is a little wonky. The tone is all there though. Major bark in this bass. It falls into the category of "this shouldn't work". The sunburst is fake. The top and back are 2mm thick plastic laminates with printing on them. So much for theory.

    I hate emojis, but I hate being misunderstood more. :)
