Sorry to hear about the guitar, Rosie. I know how hard it can be to let stuff like that go.

I had to sell one of my trombones last year, the one that had played in my first two years of college. There were lots of good (and some painful) memories associated with that horn.

Is this a guitar you use sometimes and will miss, or is it just a dust collector? My trombone had sat unused in the closet for about 4 years, and I saw no point in keeping it around as I continued to move back and forth around the country. Although my cross-country moves are finished now. ;~D

It's one I use, though not as much as the mandolin. Guitar was my main instrument until I picked up a mandolin a few years ago. It's the nicest instrument I've ever had and probably ever will have...I've never played another guitar that felt and sounded as right for me as it does. It's also the first instrument I ever performed with. However, at this point I'm mostly just getting it out once in awhile to see if I still remember how to play those songs, and though it's a magnificent thing, it's true that it isn't getting used on a daily basis.

I think I'm going to give this a week...but it's not like I have much else of value! Most of my stuff is of the handed down three or four times variety. ;-) I wouldn't have it any other way, but I DO love and appreciate nice instruments, even ones I can't play all that well.
