Fractal Fanatic
Not sure if I have a question, or am looking for guidance, or just saying things out loud to help myself out if hesitation... but here we go.
Years ago, when I had a lot of disposable income, I bought a Taylor 855. This particular one has the most incredible action I've ever seen on any acoustic at all, let alone on a 12-string. Being a jumbo, it resonates like no other, looks stunning, sounds and plays fantastic. The problem must be me, I just don't play it. At all. Ever.
Lately, I'm downsizing in all kinds of areas, and music gear is part of it. Sure, I could use the money, but I don't urgently or desperately need it right now. I'm thinning out for the sake of thinning out.
But that guitar, as unused as it is, is causing me anguish. I know darn well that once I sell it, I'll never ever ever have such a guitar again. I'm no longer in that income bracket. So that's probably one of the reasons I'm having such a hard time deciding to list it on Reverb.
Still, why am I struggling so hard? I don't play 12-string, period. I may never be able to get such a guitar again, but I really don't need to, do I?!?
Anyone else out there with "separation anxiety" related to great instruments? Any advice?
