What will happen to the precious guitars after you kick the bucket?

[DogPhishHead]

I will them to my oldest daughter who has my love for music. She plays a lot of fingerstyle acoustic and dapples on electrics during her coffee house shows.
By that time, my Smokeburst McCarty and an amp will be the only gear I have left.

What? You know when it's coming??? Did you caddy for the Dalai Lama?

Big hitter? Or is that just hyperbole?

No, if he knows when his end is coming....

At a time like this, which exists maybe only for me,
but is nonetheless real, if I can communicate,
and in the telling and the bearing of my soul
anything is gained, even though the words
which I use are pretentious and make you cringe
with embarrassment, let me remind you of the pilgrim
who asked for an audience with the Dalai Lama.
He was told he must first spend five years in contemplation.
After the five years, he was ushered into the Dalai Lama's
presence, who said,
'Well, my son, what do you wish to know?'
So the pilgrim said,
'I wish to know the meaning of life, father.'
And the Dalai Lama smiled and said,
'Well my son, life is like a beanstalk, isn't it?'

Big hitter, that Lama.

This explains my 5 year "contemplation ban" from my local convenience store, The Deli Lama.

A notable quotable if ever there was one!

I'm beginning to ponder the problem (?) of my guitars when I'm gone. I have no children of my own, but a couple nephews that do play. One I trust quite a lot; one, well not so much. I could do the charity thing and offer/give them to a reputable music school or teacher(s) I guess. I don't want the executors of my estate to have to deal with them, nor my wife should she survive me, she'll have enough of my stuff to deal with (hopefully I pare that down long before I take the dirt nap). But I also don't see the number of machines and extra equipment getting much smaller for several years to come. Interesting dilemma to be sure.

 

[Slowhands]

Ever think about that?

I sure hope the next generation will take an interest to them, but that’s far from assured.

My wife will probably sell them at a yard sale for $100 each. Check the obituaries, fellas. A good deal awaits you when you see me on them...

Just make sure you add the like "AKA Slowhands" to the title line, so that we know its you.

Heck with that. I want name, address, cell# and a copy of the results from his last physical exam!

He told us to watch for good deals.

No matter what happens, just make sure your wife does not sell them for what you told her you paid for them.

Oh lord, I hadn't considered that. No way to correct the record now though. Well fellas, looks like my gear is getting even cheaper after my untimely future demise.

Just try to find a will executor fully versed in instrument resale values. Her anger at being lied to will likely subside when she realizes the return could pay for some descendant's education, wedding or first house down payment .
Besides, you won't be there to bear the brunt of it.

Are we still planning for bucket-kicking day?

I don't really care what happens to my guitars after I'm dead. Because. I'll. Be. Dead.

I’ve already told Mrs. Mintzer that I’ll pay 10% over what Jamie paid for several of his guitars. That’s $80 profit on each one!
