If you found a 1959 LP in your attic....

[mitsukoshi]

What would you do? Keep it and play it?

Or sell it and buy every guitar you ever wanted?

 

[Pietro]

Sell

 

[Stike]

Sell

 

[dmagalhaes]

Sell.

 

[Bhodie]

Play it until the market recovers.. then sell it

 

[Baxtercat]

Hawg it out for a Floyd.

 

[guitarfish]

Sell instantly, pay off my mortgage and some other stuff. I could possibly retire early.

 

[iahawk36]

Play the CRAP out of it, and then pass it on to my kids.

 

[saltydogg]

That's a guitar that I might consider sitting on, until the market makes a turn. That's big bucks we're talkin' there...

 

[fretnot]

First, I plan to soil myself. Then I'm going to regroup and come up with a new plan.

 

[datsun]

Gross! That thing is over 50 years old. I'd trade it toward a new one that doesn't smell like mothballs.

 

[tteixeira]

Sell once (when?) the market turns a little more uphill

 

[Peteyvee]

Depends? Is it a Junior, a Special, a Standard or a Custom? The value could be anywhere from $4K for a Jr to "the skies the limit" for an uncirculated flamed burst in mint condition...

 

[WornFrets]

I would hold out for as long as I possibly could, but in the end, it would have to go. I'd certainly make the most of our time together - record a bunch, some YT videos, maybe even bring it to a gig just to say I did it.

 

[losergeek]

Knowing me, I'd trip on the way down the stairs and fall on top of it snapping the head. Otherwise though, sell it and buy a telecaster from the same year.

 

[Funky54]

Hawg it out for a Floyd.

Dude, now that cracked me up. I mean serious laughter.

 

[geetarman]

Keep it.

 

[sixty2strat]

1.set it up and restring it
2.plug it into 2 jmp stack and cut loose

options 3 are

if it plays great and sound amazing gig it till I am 65

if a dog sell it for a beat/issues one that is killer and some cash

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Start a "Is this a fake Gibson?" thread.

 

[Rod]

I'd sell it because I've owned one and it's not that big a deal.
