Ovation CC-48, it was the beautiful Padouk model. Now I have 4 electrics, 1 classical and 1 bass, no acoustic guitar. I want it back!

Cort NZS-1 - A bit lame looking because of the inlay but actually a great versatile sounding guitar, played my first theater show with it serving as my workhorse and it did everything from The Police to Led Zeppelin brilliantly.

I used to work in an instrument retailer and as such there are a few guitars that I regret selling to people that were never mine but I wish I had bought them cause some of them were amazing and had crazy good prices owing to them not moving etc - For instance there was an RGA321FM that was going for R9995 ($1100) Which I could have gotten for R5995 ($695) brand new, it ended up selling about a month before I could get the cash for it :(

Bit of a success story though, we had a Royal Blue RG1527 come in which I adored priced at R7995 ($926), sold it to some guy who was a bit of a regular, he got a good deal on it and I always wanted to kick myself in the face for it going so cheap and me not jumping on it - Fast forward 4 years and I get an offer from a friend of his for an RG1527 for R4000 ($463) and now that exact guitar which I sold him and regretted not jumping on has been my main 7 string for the last 3 years :D I still have her, and I still love her like crazy \:D/

I've traded a ESP LTD FX-260 for a Jackson Rhoads V, I really do regret it because it was all mahogany with a spalted maple top, it had passive esp pickups but sounded GREAT when I had EMGs with it, I wish I could get her back...

Of the 80ish guitars that I have owned in my life, the only one I miss is my Charvel Model 5a. Neck thru, single humbucker, and pearl white. Can't get any more bad-ass than that. I sold it to fund my Ibanez RG2550 in 2005(which I still have).

Since I have sold it, I have only seen about 5 come up for sale, none of them in as good of condition that mine was in.

Yeah that V-1 was an insanely great production model Schecter. I still can't get over how resonant it was and how low you could get it's action. But alas, the V shape and i weren't friends. And now that i put D-activator x's in that Classic, it sounds like satan. :)

I had a near mint 1990's Vinnie Moore Splatter for a while that someone talked me out of. It wasn't for sale but he offered me a bunch of cash for it and at the time I needed the cash for something else - don't remember what. Sold it and regretted it.

Fortunately I was able to find another recently to rectify my error in judgement.

At least I know you gave her a good home Matt! Sorry about some of the gigging scars on her though. I love my V-1 ATX I just get along withe V's and LP's so much. Love the balance and sound I get.

All my friends say "holy shit" when they first play the ATX. I was offered Gibsons for it but they didn't sound/ play as good :lol: My friends dad said he even wished his guitars played and sounded as nice as the ATX.

Yeah the V-1 is definitely a jem. Wish i had the C shape version. And it's all good, there aren't too many nicks.

ESP PH600, pretty cool guitar, has almost my exact perfect configuration.. I think this has been floating around the forums.. I had the HARDEST time trying to sell it for $425 or so... then I saw some asshole trying to sell one for $800, boy I had a great chuckle
