It was just little "trekker" model so that might not event count. No regets.
However, just in the last couple hours, I've hatched a plot that would require me to move a "real" Ovation. |

Over the long haul "NO" because I never sold any of the ones I routinely played.
There might be a couple I miss but never any I regret selling. |

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | A couple... but, like Stephen, only for a short while. Whatever regret I had was offset knowing that an OFC member adopted a fine guitar and it's in good hands.
Most of my regrets are from not pullin' the trigger on some wonderful offers here. Sa la vie... |

| Have moved a lot of guitars around, some real nice ones too. Only three that still bother me from time to time. Never should have let my 1688-7 go, but It went to a female member of the OFC so this is good.
I also had a fantastic, super early production number, 4080, Double Neck Rickenbacker I miss very much.
And I had Al have the Hamer Factory build me a copy of Jack Blades, very cool, 8 string bass. YA just don't sell the customs. |

If I Ever HAD to sell my twin 2080D longnecks or my Baxendale Slothead 12 fret 12 string I would definitely cry over those and miss them a lot.
One offs are very special! |

| I had a 1985 Collector's which I had bought new. I sold it when my hand problems got so bad that it didn't look like I'd play guitar again. I had had it for over ten years, and losing it, and the ability to play, was devastating.
It took about 8 years for my hands to start coming back, and I could even think about playing guitar again. Because of the time gap, I don't think it would have been realistic to hold onto the instrument "just in case."
I'd pick up another in a heartbeat if I ran across one in the same minty shape mine was in. Just mentioning it, in case any of you have one you're thinking of releasing into the wild.... |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I had seller's remorse over the 99 Collector's for quite awhile, but it might have been mixed with the guilt from buying the K1111, Patriot and Duotone shortly after.
I really like the sound and playability of the Patriot, but Michelle really needs it and the money will feed a Haitian orphan for a year, so I think we both feel good about it. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Well, no. I HAVE sold quite a few through the shop, but they were either duplicates of something I already had, or just didn't do it for me the way the ones I already own do. I sort of wish I still had the Tornado, the Matrix, and the Balladeer my Dad gave me, but that's more for sentimental reasons. I don't even remember who wound up with the Tornado and the Matrix, but I gave the Balladeer to my ex (the one who's still alive!) so I know it's in great hands, and heck, he loved my Dad too, so it's OK. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Never sold one. I did sell a Yamaha 12 string back in 1978 to my brother's wife, then used the proceeds for airfare to interview for a position which I subsequently accepted and have held ever since. Nope, I sure don't regret selling that one. |

Location: SoCal | I sold a couple of nylon strings that I don't regret. I sold my shiny bowl DB and GCDB and don't regret those (they weren't being played and the money went to good causes). But the one I regret is the Thunderhead. I sold it because I felt broke and needed the money (sucky reason for selling a guitar). But the person who bought it is holding it for me and I'll get it back.
Outside of that one, nope. No regrets..... |
