Leaving to sell my most cherished possession. I'm so sad. Have no choice.
 
Goodbye, my 2002 Epiphone Dot Deluxe 335. You've been awesome.

This has to be heartbreaking. Can't imagine. I dare not ask why but I figure you must have one heck of a reason.
 
So sorry for you!

The good news is she went to a great home! This guy appreciates a great guitar.

Why I had to sell:
 
Ex wife got the house, investments, and everything else. 
 
I got the debt.

That sucks. You really get attached. I have an Epiphone Spotlight (the legendary "PRS lawsuit" model of which there were only a few made) which I've had since 1988 and even though I don't play it these days (it's back in the UK at my dad's house - keep meaning to ship it over) I think if I heard that anything had happened to it I would genuinely cry. 
 
Any chance you can visit her now and then?

LOL I'm sure I'll be visiting, Sharke.
 
The guy who bought it ended up being a great guy who also loves guitars. I'm going to be doing some work for him - setups, wiring, etc. and we'll probably end up staying in contact.

Well I guess at least you got something
 
Been there done that, twice actually . . . never again
 
I don't think I would make it back next time, it's just so hard picking yourself back up and starting again, takes so long to build back up to where you were, just a big waste of time, and at my age there isn't a lot of useful time left. But I guess lady luck smiled upon me, I am in a much better position now than I ever was, apart from the running out of time thing, don't have to answer to anyone apart from God, the Government and the Law in that order, fortunate that if I want something, or want to do something I can just do it.
 
I think if I were to ever go down that path again it would have to be a tattooed rock chick, preferably with dread locks, vegetarian, doesn't say much, but when she did it actually mattered, not just idle chitchat, didn't believe in limitations or that anything was impossible, a loner, didn't particularly like people or the human race in general, didn't care what other people thought, loved animals, was an idealist, didn't believe in arguments, just say what you want to say and leave it at that and move on as if nothing happened, a Linda Perry clone would be nice, without the gay part (not that there is anything wrong with that)
