I must admit, the only REAL regret I have in my 44 years, was trading in a Lyle copy of a Gibson ES-335 in cherry burst. I played it all thru high school jazz band, and I loved it. But one day I was stupid and traded it for an off brand V that turned out to be waayyy less guitar! It took me about a year to fully miss that guitar, and I have missed it every day since. Moral of the story: Never get rid of a good guitar! I don't remember how I came by it, but I have never seen another one in 25 years! And I look everywhere!
