Do you own a guitar you will NEVER part with?
 

I have a few, actually.

My Taylor GC7 is basically my main guitar, forever. The only thing I might wish it to have is a new thinner finish and on rare occasion a cutaway, but I actually think I love this guitar so much Ill never part with it.

My Gibson Sonex 180 Custom solid body electric. In my opinion, the best bargain in an electric Gibson ever made. I hade one 30 years ago and had to sell it. I bought one, restored it to museum condition and it sentimentally sits near me.

My Martin 000-15 was severely neglected and abused and had substantial damage. I got it cheap and did a massive restoration project on it. It came out unbelievable and I cannot even believe how fantastic this guitar sounds. Because of all its repairs I could never ever get enough money to make me want to part with it.

There is one that will stay with me to the end, I bought it long ago before I knew what I was doing with money both grandparents and parents gave me.

Doubt I'd ever sell my HD-28V Adi custom?

I've had my Taylor 14 years and it will always be mine.

The last of my Martin 000-18GE's.

My Yamaha 12 string that I bought new back in '89. It was the first guitar I bought with my own money and it was my best friend for the next 10 years.

The one guitar I will never part with would be my McCollum.

Not yet - still looking for one!

Never is a LONG time... I had said that I would never sell my 12 string but it is going to be going on sale this week to help finance the D-35 ... Right now I'd say that my D-15 fits into the never sell class but again... Never is a long time and none of my guitars are heirlooms.

There is one however that I would never get rid of unless I simply was not going to be playing anymore period due to the circumstances by which I came into possession of it. That would be dear sweet Candy. My Yamaha FG-75 that Candy Apple sold to me. Candy is a joy to play; carries with it fond memories of my dear friend Tina, sounds awesome and uniquely voiced, so no that one says with me so long as I play or till Tina decides she wants Candy back which I told her that she could buy her back any time.

But I do think that Candy is going to get an upgrade here soon. Thinking bout adding a K&K Mini to her and a bone nut and saddle just cuz she deserves it.

I'll never part with my first guitar, a cheap Lauren brand guitar. My dad bought it for me from a local music store, paid about 180% the current online price (I was 11 at the time, and in those days we spent our days getting bumps and bruises rather than surfing the web) , and it didn't come set up. I would've thrown it into a wood chipper had it not the sentimental value it has. I'll probably try setting it up soon (myself), just for the hell of it. It's one of those things that takes up space, but I know I'd regret getting rid of it.

Yep. My D18. I dreamed of having a D18 and honestly never thought I would get one. A few years ago some really good friends got together and gave me the money to get my dream guitar, hence the D18 in my signature. It's an incredible dread on its own, and it has loads of sentimental value to me. It will go to my kids.

Yes, several will stay with me until I'm gone and they get passed on to my son and possibly two nephews.

A couple...

1971 D-28 which I bought new and is my best inanimate friend for life...
