I play a little, I have right now 5 or 6 complete guitars and a few that will one day be complete again.
I kinda like working on them,taking an old instrument and giving it a new shot at life doing what it was intended to do is how I see it, this particular guitar has been sitting in storage for more than 30 years, it has the original case and it is all original, it is really dried out and it will take a bunch of hours to hydrate but it has no cracks plus it has a little bit of romance around it which makes it just that much more appealing to me.
I have this hobby problem.
Some are bought to re sell " Like the ESP LTD" others are mine and will be until the wife gives them to whoever replaces me after I'm gone.
Same with my RC airplanes I build even though I have sold a few of the custom ones I have built I still have a few too many.
