Thanks for the tip on Carter's. I was looking for a good consignment spot. Too many guitars and want to offload a few to make room (for the two I just ordered!)... ✌
I had a 94 Mexican strat in high school that I loved. I sold it to buy concert tickets for the girl I was dating it and it’s haunted me since. I also sold a 97 Epiphone Sheraton that was great and would like to have back.
This is truly great, well balanced advice. I don’t have my first guitar, but I have two that were gifted to me - sewn into my ministry - that I won’t ever sell because of what they mean to me. I also have a white Mexican strat with a maple board that is SO NOT what I would buy, but it was used, and rang like a bell when I strummed it. It also had lace sensor gold pickups in it, and for some reason I was like, “this is the one. This is special.” It was my #1 for YEARS. So glad I still have it. I also have a sparkle jet that my wife bought as a wedding gift to me. These guitars mean more to me for their memories than they ever will for their value, and for that reason I don’t think I could ever sell them. It’s great advice to find other ways to make money if at all possible.
I have a Fender Japan Daybreak strat, it doubled in value since i bought it. I did, however modify it because i played it so its not worth as much as a mint one. But im sure it'll be worth it
It’s all relative to inflation what cost 3250.00 back in 2000 would be worth 6500.00 today but real value is negative because 3200.00 back then bought more ,today 6500.00 buys less.
So how much of your '72 Les Paul Signature is original? Is that finish original? Its stunning. It's an odd paradox because the mods made that vintage guitar less valuable but those mods also made it the coolest Les Paul Signature I've ever seen.
I needed this video like 25 years ago HW! Lots of "why did I sell that one?!?" in my guitar past unfortunately.
I'm right there with ya man!
We all have that #1. For me i have 3 #1s that i love the most
So true & aren't the stories behind them part of what makes them so irreplaceable too!?

Another mini sermon from HW
Time for the altar call!
All price gougers should be brought forth in front of the congregation to repent of their wickedness.

Whats the price you got it for? There’s one for around 1100$ and I’m still trying to decide on it, but it’s soooo beautiful.
2024 last year of the mim floyd rose strat. sold a '73 guild m73 during thhe recession
What do you think about the MIJ Heartfield Talon II by fender guitars? I bought one new in '91... still have it.
I bought an 89 Strat Plus which lived in its case most of its life. Now I am selling a Les Paul Traditional 2014 which I know I can always buy.

Hello from a mid-40s gearhead. I’ve regretted every guitar I’ve sold.
What email for customer service do you have? I have issues with both of the orders for the everything pack for Helix & Fractal that I purchased.

I've never even seen that guitar. A Les Paul signature? Never heard of or seen one or heard it talked about
