Bought a Gibson es135 copy off eBay. Didn't say Gibson or anything, but I convinced myself that a true hollow body with two pickups, binding and blue burst would still be a great guitar, even if it was only 139.99 with free shipping. Poured money into new hardware, pickups, and wiring. Know what I had after that? A guitar that still played like a cardboard box with strings. Sold it on CL to a guy that didn't even want to plug it into my amp, he didn't play it or really anything. Just gave me my money and left. I guess he figured a 100 buck guitar was a 100 buck guitar.

My Zoom B2.1u 3 years ago after buying my first bass. What a waste...that and more recently the Digitech Bad Monkey...It's not too bad but there's other offerings from Boss that sound a lot better.

Mine would be trading my Mom's 20+ year old Epiphone acoustic (which sounded great,btw) for a distortion pedal. Which broke in less than a month. Hey, the 80's were a magical time that will hopefully never happen again. And I hope my Mom never reads this...

Yeah, the second time I bought a Gibson Bass. The guy needed the money and I must have been high or something. God I hated those things.

I bought a very beat-up Rickenbacker 330 just because it was from my birth year, 1992. Not only did I have endless problems with it due to the previous owner not looking after it very well, but I also realised that I'm just not the type of person who owns a Rickenbacker. I'm still trying to sell it.

A vintage banjolin. Inspired by David Grisman and possibly a fourth glass o wine.
It was like a musical instrument, but it wasn't one.

I bought a Charvel Tele cheap once. Looked really cool. Bound black body, maple neck. Felt nice, sounded great unplugged.
When I got it home, and took it out, it seemed during the trip home the fret ends all pretty much popped out really badly. When I tried to play it....it scratched my hands all to bits. Pickups sounded awful too. Had a tech try to fix it, but it was futile. I ended up trading it straight up for a MIM Strat. I was much happier. |

Back in the day I bought a Fender HM Strat and that thing was the biggest hunk of junk ever! It had these really nasty sounding Dimarzio pickups and a Khaler tremolo that took at least an hour to restring. That was the coolest guitar in the world the first two weeks I owned it, after that I couldn't get rid of it soon enough!
