so what's happening to your prized and valued instruments when ya kick off?
i have an arrangement w my buddy and duo mate Val. if i kick off first she gets my old '58 (Harmony made) Alden archtop. scoff not...it's a fine axe and she LOVES it. if Val shuffles off the mortal coil first i get her early/mid '60's HARMONY H75. this was her dad's gtr and she brings it out to our gigs for me to play.....a real hardship. not. it's a fully hollow 335 type thinline w THREE DeArmond Gold foil pickups w vol and tone controls and KILL SWITCHES (i" toggles) for each p/u! whoa....the variety of sounds you can pull out of this is staggering.
as for the rest of my instruments i told the mrs. to do what she will w a cpl of exceptions. a good bass buddy of mine loves this 1990 WARWICK Stage One Streamer bass so he gets that. and my sax and gtr playing buddy and cohort in Planet Jazz gets my Eastman 803CE archtop.
i suspect she'll prolly keep my old '36 MARTIN O-17 as that was part of our courtship yrs ago. i hope the rest go to good players who'll actually use them and appreciate 'em.
below is a photo of an H-75 very similar to Val's. enjoy the eye candy.
