what should i sell?

here's how it looks at the moment. i have a vox ac4-tv, really cool li'l amp. also two tokais - sg88 (lekka sg, growls and squeals nicely depending on what you ask it to do), and an ls95s, a beauty gold top. also a prs custom 22 which i was going to offload a while back, but i luckily regained my senses in the nick of time. various pedals, and my larrivee, which doesn't enter into this discussion. here's the issue. i want to pick up a low-end (see what i did there?) bass (epiphone thunderbird, entry-level cort, something like that), and maybe a les paul, probably a tokai. the sg is lovely, but the les paul shape and sound really does suit me better. i made a pact with myself that i wouldn't use other money to finance the ol' gas - only the proceeds of selling off gear. question is - what would you do? i'm definitely thinking of selling the sg, there's also a possibility of the gold top being gone in the bundle. there's also an outside chance of the vox leaving in favour of something with a clean channel, although i do believe there's a lot more exploratory work to be done with that amp. just your thoughts - if you were in my shoes... dh

charleshaupt wrote Don,t sell the SG,rather add another guitar,more sonic possibilities at the end of the day,I also own a SG and will never let it go,it,s a very versatile guitar..

well, you're right, of course. in the end, i've decided to sell nothing. like a true gearoholic, i'm keeping it all. i love the tone of all my guitars - probably in descending order prs, goldtop, sg - but i do nonetheless really love that sg.

i will eventually get the amp i'm after, and a bass to have handy, but not at the expense of one of my guitars.

thanks for all the input all y'all!

Well, I'll tell you what I'm willing to do for you. I'll come and get your SG. Keep it a month, maybe two, maybe more. Dont worry too much, I'll cope. Just to see how you adapt without it. You know those old words of wisdom hey - "if you love something, let it go. If it comes back, it's yours. If it doesnt, it's mine."
