  I think they will ask you if it was damaged…

    Willie did try taking it to a repair shop one time when his regular luthier was unavailable. They refused to touch it, because they were afraid of fixing something that shouldn’t be fixed.

    Because it’s more valuable as is

    I don’t even mean monetary value (though that’s also true, you don’t refinish a vintage guitar because you halve the selling price), but the historical value and sentimental value and enjoyment value. It’s a record of the time he’s put in on it and the dedication to this instrument. That means something, more than “fixing” it ever could.

        What the fuck are you talking about? I’m a single person, I have posted no articles, and I never said the guitar isn’t worked on. Obviously he’s done some repairs to it to keep it playable, but that’s not relevant because the person in this post was playing it before it was fixed. My hypothetical is replacing the top, which is a repair that happens to guitars if the top has been damaged and the owner wants to fix it. Willie is not doing that, which is the smart and correct choice in that situation.

        Calling me stupid while being confidently wrong. Sounds about right.
