A little morbid sounding, but funny nonetheless... :D

My boy's dont really know much about my gear,as far as vintage/age, worth and quality go, so I'm compiling info on all of it, and may include a number/sticker to go on each piece thats documented. I dont have much,but I really LOVE the stuff I've been able to hold on to over the yrs.
You never know what could happen, Mark(rip) for ex., didnt have ANY inclination of exit-ing the world like that. We never know. I'm getting a detailed will togather. My two sons are getting what I have, but I have to decide which one gets what. I have a cousin and a couple close friends that are gonna get an item or two as well.

My plight is not so humorous. All my guitars are lefties. I have no brothers or sisters, and no wife (have been married twice) and at 53 will probably never marry again. My parents are both 77 and are closer to their reward. My son is 18 and a special needs child and will (most likely) never play. Who will inherit my equipment after I die, a very good question indeed.

I've got lots of friends hoping something bad happens to me...then they can buddy up to my wife and see if they qualify to reap the dowry she'll have of vintage gear.

Then you would classify them NOT as your friends.

Judging by the way my 14 mo old daughter has allready learned how to hold a pick and wants daddys guitar more than her toys I got a feeling I know were they'll be going someday.
