Regret hit me today!

[andy474x]

I sold my first PRS about 6 years ago. It’s the only one I’ve ever sold! Had some dings in the neck and the perfectionist in me couldn’t handle it. Stupid move, it was perfectly playable. Fast forward to this morning and I run across this photo of it, and it hit me... not only was it a beautiful looking and playing guitar, it also had a W/F hog neck, stoptail, and toggle switch. Had I only known how rare that would become!!!

Don't look back! You're the guitar player you are because of the gear choices you have made. Setting this one free was simply another step, albeit a now painful one, on your journey to be the guru you are today. Take some time to reflect on this and other gear choices, and honor those axes, amps, and pedals that have fallen, that have given themselves to push you onward towards gearvana.

Know how you feel. I sold my first I purchased in 1990 a cu24 signature. I know where it is, And considering offering another in trade but I keep telling myself that selling that guitar a few years ago allow me to purchase other great PRS models. Remember music is in us and these great PRS GUITAR’s help inspire it, but they are just tools... and a piece of art themselves....... BS! I want my first PRS BACK!

Once again, the evidence shows that Sergio is correct.

They are great guitars, but they are not rare, I see them for sale almost everyday on various guitar sites. Get yourself another and be happy again.

Here's one to get you started. Looks just like the one you had.

I sometimes have regret about some that I’ve let go. Then I look at what I have and realize I’m content with what I’ve got.

why rare? because of the stop tail?

regret and guilt hits us all, in issues far more important than a f@@kin' guitar.

I think you influenced Sergio before it was cool.

Shim,

I admire your compassion for helping the OP fulfill a need that he has. You've also help do away with some of the confusion by providing a clear solution.

Nah, it’s always been cool.

Truly, the glass is completely full.

Half full of liquid and half full of air.

Half full of alcohol and half full of hot air.

Not me, I don't drink. Bong water and smoke...would be a more appropriate analogy...for me anyway...allegedly

Don't look back!

Andy, what Toothace just stated is so profound it requires a soundtrack. Now play the vid, and like others have said, reflect on this, and know that your worth as a guitar connoisseur is not determined by where you started, but by where you're going.
