I have switched from being a self taught drummer selling a full 1984 DW kit in 1996.   That was tougher than saying "I do".  

I couldn't have done it...I feel for you.

The closest thing I've done is sell off my original NS-10's after I've had them sitting in their boxes for 5 years.  And I still was hesitant.

I have a 1927 Stella with inlaid mother of pearl that my Uncle bought. I have no idea what it's worth but it's a beautiful guitar.
I'll dig it out of storage and get some pics.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

"I have a 30 year old Aria, unfortunately the only thing worth any money on it is the DiMazio PAF pro pickup I fitted."

Phatzo, You never know with those old Jap guitars. My '77 Aria still plays like a wet dream and all stock. I'd planned on adding a trem in the 80's, routing for HBs, new finish...

Thank God I never got around to it. Google "Dragon Strat" one day. Maybe not valuable but still a cool piece.

I have two Charvels, the other is maybe Mk3 or 5 (made in Japan)from late 80's modded with Seymour Duncan Custom as a bridge mic, and a Fusion from 90's (Korean?).
Two acoustics, an ancient and bad Italian EKO 12 string and a new Yamaha 6 string with piezo mic.
I also fulfilled an old dream and bought a PRS Standard 22 -94 to reward myself for long and somewhat unsuccessful hobby of guitar playing.

After years of playing through transistor amps and stomp boxes I bought a Fender Super 60 tube amp and used a POD 1.0 and later 2.0 to create a distorted sound with delays and reverbs as the Super 60 has a quite harsh distortion on its own. POD 2.0 was then archived and POD X3 Live floorboard model took its place. I also bought small single ended 5W tube amps with EL84s to play stereo and also built two small cabinets with Celestion Vintage 10 speakers and began to lean heavily towards all tube sound and modified the amps from EL84s to 6L6s. Last year I built a SLO clone as a full tube preamp and aim to build a push-pull stereo power amp (20-30W) and replace the POD X3 Live with a dedicated effect device.

poor cell phone camera:



Red one on the left is a frankenpoop made from the neck of a guitar I had signed by Tesla (broke it in drunken rage with GF at the time), current body signed by the "Rust in Peace" line-up of Megadeath.

Blue clear-coat is a USA Squire Pro-Tone with gold hardware. It looks pretty, but the action is crap. The tone is really bright, even with the maple neck.

Black thing behind it is a no-name with a humbucker at the bridge and it has a great tone.

Bass hanging in the back is a no-name P-bass copy, and in the corner are 2 junk acoustics.

Vox Valvetronix VT15 real tube amp, it is as loud as the Crate G130C XL below the stand. The Crate has it's moments, I think the input jack has a short, but it can rock. On the floor is a Digitech RP-5, not great, but I have a few decent tones set that work with the Crate. The Vox has some built in models that are just golden though. Played solid state my whole life until on a whim bought this... oh what a difference a real tube makes!

On the stand is a Mackie 16 channel mixer, old Yamaha 4 track, Dr-660 drum machine, Alesis compressor, Furman power conditioner, and a broken Digitech effects processor. Shure SM-57 and Audio Tecnhica M4000S.

Nothing awesome, but enough to do some decent music.

Good find steely, most of the pawn shops put big prices on watermelon and miss the gems.

The kewlest guitar I've got is a 74 Hagstrom Swede.  I've had it for almost thirty years. I used to gig with it until I found out what it is worth. It's pretty beat up.  I need to do some work on it.

Might want to consider sending it to Elderly Instruments in Lansing, MI.   They have one of the best restoration shops in the business.   www.elderly.com
