Regrets?

[MikIsOnline]

I was about to open a new thread, but it's best to reply here!
I have 2 regrets:
- I decided to stop playing in 2007. That was due to a difficult work situation and maybe some frustration. As a matter of fact, I had a user here but I had to open this new account because the mailbox I used does not exists anymore!
- I sold ALL my guitars, except for my Luke II (Steve Morse, Axis, Silouhette, JP6 and a Strat).
I'm now back in business. Lesson learned: never, ever sell a MusicMan!

3 Regrets. 1: Selling my first EBMM guitar. A Luke 1 with floyd/gotoh, (to a very good friend). I needed the cash and assumed EBMM would continue to manufacture Luke 1's with floyds. 2: Not Recessing the Floyd on my 2004 axis sooner. 3: Not getting an EBMM guitar sooner.

All very poignant posts guys... thanks.

On the bright side, it's the perfect opportunity for me to bring back my collection. A new Silo Special and Axis Super Sport are coming in the next few days!!!

Selling my first ASS, it was battered when I it bought and all my other MM guitars since have been nicer but I do regret not still having it.

I remember seeing a Blue EVH music man in a guitar shop when I was a teenager when they were new. It caught my eye and Ed was my favorite guitar player. About 15 years later I was able to buy one. Then I was dumb and sold it about 10 years ago. Now I'm on a quest to find another one. If anyone has a blue one in good condition and are thinking about selling it please let me know. Thanks

Swapping my Purple flamed ASS MM90 for a Suhr Stanndard which I didn't bond with at all, also swapping my 25th Anniversary for a Les Psul which I hated. If only I could turn back the clock on those two

A little darker than these, I had a drug problem for a while and I racked up a bunch of debt. When I finally decided to get clean I had to sell both of my St Vincents as part of a way to dig myself out of the money hole. I guess it's not as bad as selling them directly FOR drugs, but yeah, let's say there are a lot of regrets in there. Beyond those guitars as well. I'll also say, though, that considering it well could have cost me my marriage, home, mental faculties, and life, losing a handful of luxury guitars is far from the worst outcome. Still have an older ALHH, though.

My regret is just picking up my guitar and 'noodling' for 25 years instead of actually working on ideas. I'm finally doing that now, but I'll never make up for that lost time.

I regret selling my amber Axis Hardtail. I really wanted a Les Paul and sold it. I have never been able to find another!
