I've heard objects become less important as we get older.

I let you know if I ever get that old.

What an iconic guitar! All those recordings and albums!

Rock star retirement fund

I do not feel like a rock star selling off my gear, but I do feel as broke as some aspiring musicians these days.
He who retires with the most toys wins sells them at auctions!

I don't get it when musicians sell their iconic gear. I just couldn't ever do that.

I am so against that as these were the tools used to craft your art and now you dump them .

If I hadn't just blown $100 on that 2nd Maestro, I'd be all over that '70 LP for $100k.

I can't believe he would part with the guitar that was his main one for decades.
