The one that got away

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]Is there a guitar that you regret selling?

For me this one haunts me every single night.
A 94 Mccarty, one of the first ever made. And i sold it...
For quite some time this was my go to guitar. Time got by and i just stopped playing it. I sold it to get another PRS (CU24). A while back i found it in a local store hanging behind the counter. The price tag was insane so there was no chance of getting it back again. Last time i looked it was sold. It was not my best looking guitar, it was not my best sounding guitar but my god i sounded amazing.
I'm an idiot.







So, how about you, is there a PRS that you really regret selling?[/COLOR]

I have two - and have posted both here before.

PS #935:

Standard 22 Studio with birds- never seen another like it.

That PS is fantastic!

She was - never should have let her go...

It wasn't super flashy or anything, but I seriously regret letting my 01 Standard 24 go. It played so nice, had Dragon 2's and really hit that SG tone very well. They are almost impossible to find these days, might have to just get a Mira instead.

If you could find her she would probably be an astronomical price. She is class!

Hopefully she stayed put - an entire family was going in together to by it for the patriarch of the family, for either his birthday or anniversary.

Regrets, I've had a few...here are two examples of "shoulda kept it" guitars I've let somehow slip through my hands:

'93 Artist II, #32. Was a classic model, had a unique sound. I was so excited when I brought it home from the store, but some years later let it go, and I don't even remember the studio gear I got with the dough, but I sure do remember the guitar:



SC58 Artist Package, 53/10s. Ebony Fretboard. Gorgeous tone, and different enough from my McCarty SC that it would have been great to have both on hand:



And oh yes, I have many more...

The one that got away is a 1989 tobacco burst CE, loaded with some kind of zebra Gibson humbuckers. Sold it to my best friend 20 years ago, and he refuses to sell it back. If I post a pic of it - and I have several - I'll just get frustrated and wind up trolling my buddy.

I'm going to go cry now.

I'll join you. A friend of a friend bought my Artist II, and will never sell it back to me.

That purfling is sensational. BADAXE.

That thing is smoking!

Love the diagonal flame -- puts me in mind of anime, for some reason, and was even more spectacular in person -- and the hybrid hardware was just a great choice for a final touch. Unfortunately, never warmed up to the sound of the 53/10 pickups.

Beautiful guitars. Seriously.

Unreal! Both stunners!
