Montelovesco Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Selling a guitar, feeling bad about it and trying to get it back - a common story, I know. Happened to me once with a Peavey Generation I sold on ebay and got it back from the buyer a few years later via ebay, too. This Peavey was one of three guitars I sold during the last years and regretted it shortly after. The second one was the US made Dean Soltero MGH I sold in 2013 to raise funds for our first RV US trip. I got it via ebay, liked it, but not so much that I did keep it. Fast forward a year or two: Remorse kicks in. Reaching out to the buyer to get it back, no luck. Running into one on CL, and activating the HFC to help me out. Our own @Toadroller drove his old Audi to the seller, but no luck here, too. Fast forward another year or two: Buyer still doesn‘t want to sell. Summer 2020, Campground in Paris, checking my ebay search list, and what pops up? I guess you all can guess the rest. The guitar is back again - for way more than I got for when I sold it the first time, but what the heck. I know that Deans are somewhat controversial and I second that when it comes to the fork headstock (which this one has not) or to their shredder models/designs which I think are pretty tasteless/show no style at all. But the Soltero MGH (built in 2008) is a solid LP type of guitar, all Mahogany, with a wonderful V shaped neck (I may like it even better than my Tallys V neck), a great neck/body-transistion, lots of punch and great playability. You see them not so often, so if one pops up, give it a try (or let me know...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disturber Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Congrats. I still have remorse for selling that Schenker Vector with a broken headstock. The repair looked so so. But I wish I'd kept it. I would have had that repair fixed so it was invisible. Great sounding Vector. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 The Soltero is a cool model in the newer Dean line. It is good that you got yours back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 Congrats! Cool story and a cool guitar. After hearing about that v-neck now I’m tempted to find one myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black magic Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 That is so cool. I did that once as well. I would love to have many of them back, but only 1 came back that I regretted selling. My 2005 custom Jackson Soloist. It`s rare, but sometimes we get lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
