I don’t even mean monetary value (though that’s also true, you don’t refinish a vintage guitar because you halve the selling price), but the historical value and sentimental value and enjoyment value. It’s a record of the time he’s put in on it and the dedication to this instrument. That means something, more than “fixing” it ever could.
What the fuck are you talking about? I’m a single person, I have posted no articles, and I never said the guitar isn’t worked on. Obviously he’s done some repairs to it to keep it playable, but that’s not relevant because the person in this post was playing it before it was fixed. My hypothetical is replacing the top, which is a repair that happens to guitars if the top has been damaged and the owner wants to fix it. Willie is not doing that, which is the smart and correct choice in that situation.
Calling me stupid while being confidently wrong. Sounds about right.
“you idiots” is clearly a collective reference you fucking moron, if you’ve read any of the other comments here at all then you already know exactly which article I mean, fucking embarassing. Your hypothetical is stupid and has no bearing on the story, nobody is rebuilding a goddamn guitar for $200 and you know it, if you had any dignity you’d accept that you’re wrong and fuck off
Why would you assume I’m going back to read all the comments on this post? Sorry I’m not as obsessive about it as you. And looking at the article you’re referencing, trigger gets maintenance once a year, that does nothing to bolster your claim that it’s always getting fixed. All guitars need maintenance of some sort, but that doesn’t have to mean doing repairs that change the character of the instrument. My hypothetical is appropriate because it’s something that would make the guitar “better” while making it less valuable, doesn’t matter that repair cost is different. In the above example, I could easily see the case that husband pulled the guitar from the trash and felt great pride in turning this busted guitar into a functional instrument (we know it was functional because it was being played before it was taken to the luthier) and loved it for that. Then it’s taken to the shop and is “repaired” to be a “nicer” instrument in a way that erases the work husband did to make it payable. That could be as simple as replacing a credit card saddle with a properly fitted one (which would cost less than $200).
if you had any dignity you’d accept you’re wrong and fuck off
So you don’t bother reading, don’t have a clue what you’re talking about, and think that makes you less obsessive rather than just really fucking stupid? Try harder halfwit
Because it’s more valuable as is
