[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids wear cheap items from Gap; however, I purchased a 20K acoustic guitar for my 12 years old son and 120K violin for my 14 years old daughter.[/quote]

Well that was dumb[/quote]

How so?[/quote]
DP.  Unless your kid is like a musical savant, and will be joining a prestigious orchestra/band and making a career out of it, why the F* would you buy them a 20K guitar and 120K violin?  That is genuinely stupid.

Most  adult professional orchestra musicians don’t have instruments this expensive.  Pretty sure Elvis, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, etc. weren’t playing on a $20,000 guitar at 12- or maybe ever [/quote]

Vintage guitars and violins go up in value overtime.  I have about a temperature controlled room with over vintage guitars that I purchased many years ago.  Almost all of them are worth at least 25K each.  I paid around 1K for them many years ago.  One guy wanted to pay me 48K for a 1942 Martin guitar and I turned him down. [/quote]

Ok, you are an adult niche collector.  You think it is within the realm of reasonable to get a 20k guitar for a 12 yr old?[/quote]
