Put the keys down.

Step away from the car.

Count to ten. Go inside and get a beer. Go to bed.

Then get back to me in the morning.

Bugs? Man we're good with bugs! Can't count the cars we've straightened out dude. Holler if you need some help with anything.

Yeah I find that when it comes to selling something with allot of sentimental value I tend to have sellers remorse like 2 minutes afterwards. I sold a 25th Anniversary Black Gibson Les Paul that had Gold hardware that was a rocking piece that was in great condition once. made a mint.. but man do I miss that axe. I know, don't say it. It been years since I did it and I think about it every time I decide which guitar to pick up and play.
