Sell whatever doesn’t bring you joy or inspire you.

If you like the way it feels, plays, and looks, then don’t sell it. Just find the pickups that give it the balls you’re looking for. If you don’t like how it feels, plays, or looks then sell it.

I struggle whether to sell my Squier Classic 60's Vibe Mustang and my Guild Polara Limited, one has the crazy controls. You know the one. And the other I just can't seem to get it set up the way U need to.

Then I always decide "Maybe I should keep it" in the end, because it's just unique. When I have 4 strats, 3 teles, etc. I only have one Mustang.

Is it unique enough to justify keeping? Even if you don't use it often, when you do use it, do you like to play it? I have around 25 electrics currently and there are only 2 that I can't seem to have jell with. The Guild Polara which I can't seem to get set up well enough to stay in tune (took it to multiple Luther's and techs). And the Squier Classic 60's Vibe Mustang which, when I first bought, I thought the out of phase/parallel options were really cool but in the end I found them to just get in the way more than anything.

Go figure, out of all my guitars, these are probably the two most unique. Because I don't have another SG type or Mustang type.....

If you love it, but the tone isn't there, mod or sell.. As simple as that to me.

But, I get it. I have a few I hang on to, but rarely play for whatever reason. When I do play, I ask myself why don't I play this more? The biggest mistake I make is when I decide to sell a guitar is to give it one more session. Just to wind up keeping.

Always buy, never sell.

Word!

Always buy, never sell.

Trading is ok though, right?

I had a core Mira that sounded good but I just couldn’t bond with it. I traded it for two amps instead.

When it comes to selling gear, here's how I go about it:

If I didn't currently have it, would I buy it? If the answer is no, it's time to go.

Gosh, I have to say, my all hog S2 Mira is stock and I can say I won’t change a doggone thing. I will say I have put a substantial amount of time adjusting the pickups and it is a wonderful rock machine. One of my faves
it is very inspiring!

Are your Standards "interchangeable" in terms of how you use them, or do you have different pups, string gauges/tunings, etc. to differentiate them? I ask 1. because I'm just curious, and 2. because I would suggest - if the Mira feels like an old friend - find a mod that will give her a place to sit in your sonic palette.

Keep.

I have different pups in my standards....
