While visiting a friend we stopped by an old friend of his. This dude played in a band with the same guys for 40 years. In his barn he has quite a setup, small stage, drum set, monitors, equipment everywhere.
He had an Ibanez on a stand that must have been sitting there for quite sometime as the strings were rusty and it was way out of tune. I asked him if he still played and he said not much anymore because of the arthritis in his hands and fingers. So, he just sits and sings Karaoke which he is very good at.
He said see that case of there? Open it up, so I did. He says that case hasn’t been open in probably 30 years. In it is the guitar above. He said it was bought sometime in the sixties.
Is it worth anything and should it be cleaned up or just left alone?
I’ll be going back in a couple of weeks to play with him and the few remaining members of the band. He says he might let me take it and clean it up.
