I have a 1975 Strat hardtail that I got used (3 weeks used) back in 1975 that I see now sell for over $2000 on eBay. If I don't do a good job explaining about my stuff, someone will get a good deal when I'm gone.

Yup. Exactly. I couldn't have explained this better myself. Here's hoping we can pass this down and that our equipment will be PLAYED too. Thanks for your posts!
