You don't deserve koa.
Don't have one. The only stuff I've sold are the ones I knew I'd never use again.

Blackface Twin Reverb with a poorly-done "gain mod" in place of the tremolo. It had either a bad speaker, a bad tube, or maybe both. I'm sure I could have had it fixed and it would be worth 4 times what I bought it.
I sold it to help fund a Mesa Boogie Mark III -- which I also don't have anymore. That turned into two months' rent.
I have bad luck with amps, man.

Well sometimes I wish I had an old Silvertone Silouette back (Jag shortscale) as I just loved those DeArmond silverfoils, but alas, the controls got in my way and the G string didn't stay in tune to my satisfaction. After that I sometimes miss a Brawley LTD (top of line -great neck) and a Washburn Custom Shop P4. But the one I'll never get over is when my folks sold my first guitar and amp (I wasn't playing it cause the neck had shifted) without saying a word to me when I was away at college. The Teisco Del Rey I could forgive but I'd sure love to have that Princeton Reverb back.

A black Ric 430 I had c. 1983, seen to the left of me below:
Better pic of one:
Back then I knew very little about electric guitars. The Ric had some issues, but they probably could've been solved by a simple set-up by a good tech.
One almost never sees the 430's around anymore. They were designed in part by Forrest White, formerly of Fender, and weren't very popular.

Best strat neck I ever had.... I did sell it to fund what eventually was my Rosewood neck'd PRS so I'm thankful for that.... but everytime I've looked for another Bocote neck, they were $500.... and of course I got the Road Worn when they were blowing them out left and right.... and then they got legs and have been 700 or 800 ever since.

A tom petty ric 12 string. i was in high school and traded it for a strat plus and some other stuff i forget now. i still have the strat and i love it, but i probably should have hung on to the ric. there was a customer in the store telling me i was crazy and the sales guy kept trying to shoo him away. dumb dumb dumb

Mid 80's ESP Mirage Custom.
Pawned it in the early 90's after going "full-grunge"...I was such a fool.

63 double bound telecaster custom in candy apple red. Bought it from a friend of my dad for 400 bucks in 84, long before the vintage craze hit. Played it for a few years, then traded it in on a jackson. I didn't lose money on the deal, but I can only imagine what that guitar is worth today.

I'm seeing trends here. Lots of good equipment being sold because (1) it didn't fit the fashion of the time or (2) it had some easily-fixed-but-didn't-know-better problem.
