I regret selling an Ibanez RG1550FM. It was a limited model only a small few were made and it was amazing. Sold it to get another RG which turned out to be the most terrible guitar I've ever owned.

I've been lucky. I've sold a Yamaha Pacifica 112, Ibanez RG470, ESP M302 and a Fender Lite Ash Tele, and I don't regret selling any of them (although I lost a lot of money on the ESP). In some ways it'd be nice to still have the Yam - my first guitar - but that's just a little bit of sentimentality I guess.

I do really regret sending back a Mesa Boogie Roadster head I bought though - should have kept it and bought a smaller cab and an attenuator!

Only gear I regret selling was my Orange Thunderverb 200 but I had to sell it to get some cash in my bank account to procure my Visa to come to England. Took me about 2 months to pay it off and then I only had it for about 2 or 3 months and then sold it again and lost a fair bit of money. Was a great amp, would love to replace it with a 50W version when I get back to Australia.

Apart from that I don't really regret selling anything , haven't sold anything else for financial reasons, only sell stuff I don't use or like so it's all good with me.

I've bought and sold over 20 guitars, and i regret half of them i'd say.

Some of them were pure lemons... some were fantastic looking back, just my playing got in the way!

The biggest 'doh' of mine was selling an ENGL Screamer, but i got it cheap so no worries.

If i ever get into the situation where i'm forced to either sell it's way to me right now or eat, i'll probably starve...

Can't speak for anyone else, but I don't sell because I need the money, I sell because I need the space....

:lol: question answered

I can't actually think of anything I regret selling anyway, quite happy with it all. If it didn't get played then I see no problem with it being gone :)

I had a beautiful Maison 'Super Strat' with a birdseye maple top. I stupidly traded it in for a Gibson SG. The Gibson was great, but i still miss the Maison and trawl Ebay for one like it  :(

No regrets here sold a low end Ibanez peavey Crate Vox valvestate (dont know why the hell I bought it) 

About to sell my Brawley Custom and am thinking if it would be wrong to sell my Boss MT2 seems like a crime to send another one out into the world. Could use the cash though.

yeah, i struggle with space too (well, i personally don't, but my parents and sister do :lol: :lol: :lol: ). i didn't sell my marshall because i needed the money (it does come in handy, though)... but i figured £150 or so was of more use to me than a cr@ppy black box i never used which was taking up a ton of space... :lol:

i only regret(ed) selling one thing, and that was my peavey classic 2x12 VTX series. not real expensive or anything, but i sold it because i couldn't get any gain out of it, and then the day before i had to ship it out i discovered what a pregain knob was!

i don't regret it now though, because i have better gear... but maybe if i had known how to use the amp before i sold it i might have kept it.

Charvel Mod 3A (it was my first decent guitar, if I count the Tokai with original electronics as un-decent).

Peavey 5150 head (I got the first one that came to Germany back then).

Rivera Knucklehead and Marshall 4x12 to fund my first PowerMac in '96 - I was desperate and gave it away far too cheap.

...almost forgot: I REALLY regret selling my Soldano Atomic 16 Combo. That was a sweet amp!
