So, like many of us, I have a few guitars. Some I love and play out, some I just like having. Every once in a while I don't like the hoarding feeling that I get, and get rid of anything that is not an absolute keeper.
I came to this conclusion with a gibson lp jr I had, and sold it on craigslist this past weekend. It was cool, but not one of my favorites, didn't love the neck, and it didn't get played that much.
A Dad and his 13 yr old son showed up to buy the guitar for the kid, who was SUPER psyched about it, and told me all about how he had saved up for it, sold his epiphone, etc. The Dad even sent a follow up email saying how much the kid loved the guitar.
I left there feeling so great. I gave him a good discount just because he was so awesome (if I had more $ I would have probably just given it to him for free), and have never once regretted getting rid of the guitar since it has gone to such a better home. This will be that #1 guitar for this kid, vs. another one in my basement that is just OK.
Anyway, it feels great seeing guitars go to where the belong, even if it isn't to you sometimes.
