So, I'm not a young man and I find myself trying to plan for my demise although I surely hope it's no time soon.
I have way too much gear. My wife is not a player and knows little about gear so I don't want to burden her with any of that. My goal is to find a reputable store that will come pick up everything I have, put it on consignment and send my wife the proceeds. That's a bit simplistic I know but is likely enough to get my point across.
I've contacted Bernunzio Music in NY and Elderly right here in Mich. Bernunzio has shown some interest but has committed to nothing. I'm just starting discussions with Elderly.
Of course, if I have time available when the time comes I'll let everybody here have a chance if there's anything I have that interests you but often times it seems that it can be quite sudden with little to no advanced warning.
Anyway, I'd be curious to see what, if anything, others have done and whether they have any solid suggestions. Of course, the obvious answer is to just start selling everything off and get to 3 or 4 guitars and be done with it. BUT, I know myself well enough to know that really isn't an option.
