Boy do i ever feel stupid ! About 13 years ago I got hardup for some dough,so i decided to sell a few of my (babys) The first one that left the nest was my 1959 ES-175 that i got for $600 in 1990 from the original owner,I let her go for $900 plus a 1970 strat the guy threw in for sympathy reasons i guess,and also a 1963 pre cbs Tele with a rosewood fretboard! I sold that one for $1200.Now that i have a desktop and look from time to time on the net at prices,I just get a real sick feeling and how cheap i let them go for! Oh yeah,,one more thing,,no smart remarks please.-Lenny P.S. I just had to vent and tell other players to hold on to your old toys !

Yeah, prices have gone through the roof lately, especially old Gibsons. I almost let my 1970 Les Paul Deluxe go five years ago for $2,000. Luckily the guy could'nt come up with the cash. They have tripled in value since then and a '68 or '69 is worth even more. Some of those guys who have had '59 LP's for years suddenly found that they were worth more than their house and all other possessions put together!

Hang on to that Strat, you never know.

That's a drag. But hey, at least you got to spend some time with real pretty guitars back in the day. I'd kill for 10 minutes with either one of those!
