Well said @Huggy BIn my mind a 20k guitar isn't the piece to lug around to lessons.
Performances, recording, and self enjoyment would be it's main purposes, and any decent axe that you don't care if it's stolen or dinged up can be used for something as tedious and unglamorous as lessons.
Don't you think you're confusing the concept of "wealthy" with "stupid"?No disrespect Intended, but if I could ever afford a 20k guitar, then I wouldn’t worry about taking it out. (Or much else for that matter-lol)
You would be surprised at just how "good" a guitar a $200 Harley Benton can be. The TE 52. I have 2 of them now, and may do a third ...I'm considering buying a €200 Harley Benton just for those lessons. What would you do?
I would have thought someone with a 20k guitar would have it insured.Don't you think you're confusing the concept of "wealthy" with "stupid"?
I mean, being able to afford certain goods doesn't mean that you want to be robbed and possibly stabbed.
My rolex is almost as old as my Santa Cruz Dread. The Cruz cost more. I've worn that watch across the US and Europe. My Cruz has flown with me from coast to coast for 20+ years.Don't you think you're confusing the concept of "wealthy" with "stupid"?

simple example: would you take a walk in the Favelas of Rio de Janeiro wearing a Rolex Submariner (list price around €8000, market price around €15.000 - so anyway a price lower than my guitar)?
I think you answered your original question right here. (and I happen to agree with you.)Don't you think you're confusing the concept of "wealthy" with "stupid"?

Yup.Find a better neighborhood for lessons.
