I've got a sad, sad story friend, that I don't like to tell-

I'm goin to trade in all but 3 of me guitars for a new amp and a new Gretsch electric- I'm goin to keep the Martin, the Orangewood Ava and the new Lag- I've promised the Yamaha F335 to me buddy in east Texas, so I'll keep it for him- everything else is goin in trade- I've gotten only 2 responses from my Craigs List ad and neither interested me-

Garland,

I think that's not a bad choice, just hope you get a good deal, don't forget the art of the haggle.
Some times you can have to many guitars, so some just get unplayed.
Anyway good luck on your next purchase, something to look forward to.

Faith Mercury, Parlour Guitar.
Tanglewood TW40 Sundance Historic, 12 freter. Solid Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides.
Takamine GY93E-Nat, Parlour Guitar, solid Spruce top.
Epiphone ES339, semi acoustic Electric guitar,
Fender Mex Stratocaster, White with Maple neck.
PRS se Custom, 24 fret, Mahogany back with Maple cap.
Tanglewood TW 45 Re Sundance Reserve, All solid wood, Cedar Top,Mahogany back and sides.

Just have to not let one go that you'll miss and wished you had kept, it happens.

ancient1, I'm very aware of that missin one, trust me- but, with the exception of the Fender Parlor body the prices are still the same a year later- the Fender has gone up 20 bucks -
I'm keepin the Martin, The Orangewood and the Lag- if I last long enough I'll snag a Martin 00017- and whatever comes along before then, which Maury's Music says is February of next year- but, I ain't gettin to 12 again-

Garland,

Buyers remorse is bad , but sellers remorse is twice as bad, I nearly always get sellers remorse.
Don't tell anyone, but on two occasions at least I've gone and bought the same make and model guitar again.
I'm sure the day will come when you will get the Martin 00017, half the fun is the waiting so they say, I hate waiting, I'm more of, want it now sort of person.
Yes 12 guitars is a bit much, 11s a nice number.
