I gave away my guitars. I have rheumatoid arthritis in my right thumb, and it hurt to play, so I decided to sell them. They're excellent instruments - a Stratocaster and a custom Cort acoustic. ...///... I took them to a local shop, which made an insulting offer (200 bucks for both - and in mint condition...no). I then tried to donate them to a music school... who told me they would never let a kid use those expensive guitars. ...///... Finally I overheard someone talking to my art instructor and it turns out that he and his wife are both musicians. So I asked if he'd like them and that was the end of it. The only condition I put on them was that they needed to be played, and if they didn't need them, they should give them to someone who would. ...///... Smartest move I ever made. Both instruments are spending time on stage.

I'm sorry about your arthritis and that you couldn't play anymore, but it was way awesome of you to give your guitars away to people who would really appreciate them. I feel the same way about my stuff--I'd rather give it to someone who can really use/appreciate it than sell it to someone with no sense of value.
