List your "Keepers"!

[scmavl]

Which ones would you never, ever, ever sell? Like REALLY, never?

The only two I can say that about are my 1992 Gibson Les Paul Studio (my 15th birthday present from my dad) which made it through all of my high school garage bands. And my 2006 Gibson Songwriter Deluxe acoustic which was a 30th birthday present to myself (with my wife's encouragement!).

The other guitars I currently have are potential keepers, but they need some recording sessions and gigs under their belt to be sure. The other two guitars in the pic are LONG gone.

Page LP... very personal reasons AND an excellent guitar

'57 R.I custom was my 40th present from my better half and boys

Wayne T type it's not a Tele nor is it a strat BUT it is awesome (and it is a one of a kind made for Dave Kilminster)

and my Yamaha CPX15EA which was my 39th birthday present!

Keepers.... is there really ever such a thing as a keeper on the Gear Page?

Here's the ones I can't see selling anytime soon:

1960 Gibson Melody Maker
1965 Fender Princeton Reverb
1996 Fender "Cunetto" Relic NoCaster
2001 Budda Superdrive 30
2002 Fender '56 Relic Strat

i have not techincally had a tue "keeper" as I have sold my long time guitars eventually, but I'm VERY happy with my R7 (#1) and so far the RW strat is getting a lot of play.

Well, actually, my acoustic is a keeper! Was made for me by my bass players Dad, have had it 13 years now. Love it,, and could never sell it.

My ratty old Strat that's been broken, fixed and modified a zillion times. And my Victoria Regal.

So far, it's these:

MIJ Epiphone Casino

Mid 90s Fernandes Telecaster:

And now, my latest flame - a 1975 Ibanez 2653S SG cpy:

Went fishing in a strip mine lake in Louisiana once and gathered 2 coolers full of slab 2lber crappie! The tone was not so good but man were they tasty!

The only true "keeper" I have (one I would not sell for any earthly price) is the one I bought brand new in 1979 and have used ever since: my Ibanez Musician MC400NT. The rest of the guitars I have range from ones I "never intend to sell" to ones I would sell tomorrow at the right price. Of the ones I don't intend to sell, there are a few that I absolutely love:

Ibanez Rocket Roll Sr. (Korina-style V)
Ibanez 2630 (335-style semihollow)
Greco EG-450 (set neck LP)
Ibanez 2351AV "Fancy" (bolt neck LP w/ bling bling upgrades)

See them all at the link in my sig.
