I wouldn't change much of anything "Life" related, but I wouldn't have sold the 1960s Gibsons I used to own.

I'm not changing a thing. It's been a great ride so far and it looks to be even better ahead.

I'd have been worthy of a Tele earlier in life. But I don't think having a "do-over" would change that much, so I'm good where I am.

No regrets. I wouldn't change much at all. I don't feel I chased my tail too much. Not enough to dwell anyway.

I wouldn't change a whole lot. My life has been far from perfect, but it's been one hell of an interesting ride so far.

I would have saved a little money to get the gear I presently have.

Nothing else. Even this strange illness (GBS) has taught me a lot.

I would find my wife 20 years earlier than I did, pass the first wife up all together. Hell, I would be a king of some land by now if that had happend.

ETA: and kept my '66 Mustang.

Was it hard, like it was with Fender to get a southpaw Gibson back then??

No, not too bad. I ordered the SG from a local shop, and got the LP in a shop down in London.

Changing anything changes everything. I am good to go with where my life has taken me thus far.

On a simple note. I wish I had taken some guitar lessons, I have picked up some realy bad habits over the years. As far as a do over in life, unless I could take the knowledge I have have now, it would be likely to end up worse. No complaints here.

I would have bought a tele, lower wattage amp and only a couple of pedals and spent more time saving for tattoo's and other stuff to make me happy.

I wouldn't have gone to college out of state, and then dropped out, for starters. It would completely change where I'm at now, but I'm thinking I would've ended up for the better. I definitely wouldn't have sold my '68 Charger or '68 300, either. Probably wouldn't have bought my house, either, but it's relatively low on the list of things I regret. :D

Musically, I would've picked up a Les Paul and a Blues Jr. or similar just starting out. I never really jived with my Strat.
