Scratch47 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 I've already willed mine to my oldest (8 years young) granddaughter. She's learning to play.
DanvillRob Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 As all know.... EVERYTHING goes to my grandkids......(if I have any). If not, then to my nephews.
EuroAussie Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 If I had kids and they were into music and guitars they would go to them, but since I dont at the moment I would give them away to some of the musos I played with and respected about town.
JuanCarlosVejar Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 they probably would go to a vintage guitar dealer for someone to keep playing them when I'm gone. and my Sj 200 TV would go to my best friend probably :).
ol fred Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 JC, can I be your best friend ??? Mine are going to my nephew they probably would go to a vintage guitar dealer for someone to keep playing them when I'm gone. and my Sj 200 TV would go to my best friend probably :).
DanvillRob Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 JC, can I be your best friend ??? Mine are going to my nephew Which nephew? Tony or Ren?
ol fred Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Tony....Ren can make his own Which nephew? Tony or Ren?
DanvillRob Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Tony....Ren can make his own HAHAHAHA <SNORT> HAHAHAHA
LP4Me Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 Mine will go to my 2 sons....my older son does play, but even if he didn't, I'd like to think that they would both want to have something that the old man cherished so much.......and then they will probably all end up in a pawn shop a week later!
sboiir Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Interesting.......My best bud, I played with a lot has such an “I'm so good attitude” that I was going to give to him, but seems not worthy. (I know, I’m being judgmental) But after all, I am mental...hahaha Also, he is not into ukes, nor my wife or son. My wife is a natural musician, but at 5'1” my Gibson Jumbo doesn't make any sense for her. I would like them to go to someone who will play them. ?? Who is that ????? At 55, I hope I have time to make a good decision on this question. Nobody I know is in need or desire of my instruments. Any of you want them ?

j45nick Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 I'd love to help you out, but I've got nine years on ya... Well, I become eligible for Medicare on Sunday, and have my first doctor's appointment on Monday. Unfortunately, none of my nieces, nephews or grandkids are into guitar--yet. Maybe I can covert one before it's too late. Otherwise, I have a list of my guitars and their approximate values made up for my wife. I just hope they find good homes. Of course, there's only one I REALLY care about if push comes to shove...... Most are "only" guitars. But one is.......special.
BluesKing777 Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Spouse gets 'em at this stage. Relatives on all sides tend to musical moron-ness. It would be nice to know they go to a good home, but my guess would be the said relatives and my so-called friends are all sick to hell of BluesKing777 and his damn guitars; guitar talk; guitar forum-talk; music talk, music book talk; music cd, dvd talk; music and guitar instruction dvd, cd talk; guitar recording and recording equipment talk; guitar shops talk, Gibson versus Martin versus Taylor talk ad nauseum.......let alone hearing me play.... and there will be some kind of mean-spirited gathering that culminates in some kind of a 'foot-through-the-bloody-things' ceremony. BluesKing777.
JuanCarlosVejar Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 JC, can I be your best friend ??? Mine are going to my nephew sure =D . we are all friends aren't we ?
j45nick Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 I'm taking mine with me. And what happens when you get to the Pearly Gates, and St. Pete says "Dude, you can only bring one of those here. We've got too many guitars and guitar players here already"?
jt Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 My kids tell me that my guitars will be on eBay before my body is cold! Well, except my son says that for the purpose of maximizing the return, they'll wait until Clapton dies to sell the guitar that I got from him.
pfox14 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 John, you have one of Clapton's guitars!! Which one?
jt Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 John, you have one of Clapton's guitars!! Which one? Paul, This one: And, my article about the acquisition: An incredible day!
milod Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 "The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's chain Could not bring that proud soul under; The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again, For he tore its chords asunder; And said "No chains shall sully thee, Thou soul of love and brav'ry! Thy songs were made for the pure and free, They shall never sound in slavery!" or "There's some come here to see me hanged, And some to buy my fiddle, But before that I do part wi' her I'll brak her thro' the middle. "He took the fiddle into both o' his hands And he broke it o'er a stone. Says, There's nae ither hand sail play on thee When I am dead and gone." Well, perhaps my "baby" bro 28 years younger who is a picker. Otherwise the above. OTOH, when I'm gone, I question I'll care much. Yet... the above may echo my opinion of the future. m

I've still got alot of life to live(hopefully) and I take great care of my guitars so you know they'll go to a good home :)
onewilyfool Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 I thought I'd leave all my guitars to the Gibson forum......lottery picks for the lucky winners......just a thought....
j45nick Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 I thought I'd leave all my guitars to the Gibson forum......lottery picks for the lucky winners......just a thought.... Hey Wily, can we bid on them before you croak? You've got a few there that I'm interested in.
onewilyfool Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Hey Wily, can we bid on them before you croak? You've got a few there that I'm interested in. Let me say, If I die by any nefarious means before I die of natural causes, then the forum lottery will be canceled!!
j45nick Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Let me say, If I die by any nefarious means before I die of natural causes, then the forum lottery will be canceled!! Just how nefarious do the means have to be? Happy New Year, Robert. I'm safely ensconsed in my music room after a half bottle of California pinot and another half of cab sav. Safe from the idiots outside, I'm settling in for a mellow hour or two on my J-45 before kissing 2011 goodbye. Stay safe, Nick
