    My dad's finally selling his original 1954 Martin D-28.

    He developed crippling arthritis in the 90s, had multiple surgeries to keep basic functionality but hasn't played since. He had a band in the 70s, and played with Chubby Checker when he was on tour once.

    • jesus canoe, its worth $20k+. its unreasonable for anyone (other than a collector) to own such a guitar unless they bought it back in the day.kingsteven
    • You don't have to be a collector to own a guitar dude, man should give his son a bit of history.robthelad
    • Beautiful guitar!futurefood
    • well apart from it being completely parasocial to enquire or assume inheritance. i_monks dad sounds like he has plenty of history to pass downkingsteven
    • “Parasocial” doesn’t mean “having an opinion about a stranger’s family situation.” Presumptuous or intrusive would be closer.canoe
    • That said, fair enough. we’re now all confidently debating what a man none of us knows should do with a guitar none of us owns. QBN successfully achieved.canoe
    • Tomorrow is truly better.canoe
