He should hang on to his Strat! When he’s 60, he will still have his first guitar, and will be glad he has it!
I’m thinking of selling my newer stuff, that has no collector’s value. Hang onto the old stuff; 47 Gibson Br-1 amp, 52 Pro, 56 Pro, 58 Bassman, 62 Super, 64 Vibroverb, my steel amp that started life as a Quad Reverb, but is now a split-cab Twin with a JBL 15. Will sell the Dr’Z Prescription with Celestion Blues, and the Deluxe Reverb I got from Neil Zaza, guitar maestro. Also will keep, for now, the 72 Princeton Reverb that was highly customized by my best friend tech. It’s 21 watts of clean power that is small. 12” Celestion in it. But guitars? Too many to even talk about!
I’m envious of your collection, and that doesn’t include your guitars.
