That’s a sentiment I’m more likely to reserve for my kids as opposed to my guitars.
I see guitars more as a functional, usable work of art, not unlike a fine automobile or a well-made article of clothing. I take care of them because of the craft that went into making them and because I try to take care of nice things, not necessarily because I see any kind of debt or duty maintaining something that will be someone else’s someday.
That said, I’d love for the kiddos I mentioned to play and enjoy my guitars someday, and if they do, they’re likely to love the guitar simply because it was mine.
