what a nice guitar! from the onset it is plain to see that the guitar was worth money. I sense the uncle was wry and generous gifting such a nice Guild. the details of the story sound fishy. I have seen trolls on other forums. perhaps we have one under our bridge now.

That thought crossed my inept brain-waves too. Imagine selling a Gibson to a kid for $100 just so that the kid has (and learns) a sense of investment, and then see a forum entry like this? Yikes!

So, you came clean with things to your Uncle. You're the proud owner of a nice guitar and your uncle might even be impressed with your honesty or integrity now. The only thing you might still lose are a couple of gifts. Big deal. That all doesn't add up to a nice guitar like that. Getting the respect of a family elder is nice. Plus, you showed him the respect that he did deserve by making sure he know the value (which he may have all along). Seeeee, this whole treat family & others properly pays off most of the time. Not all the time, but even when an occasional act of dignity causes you a loss, at least you still got that dignity and integrity thing going. Invaluable attributes.

thanks for reposting. you did right by going back to your uncle. btw, he may seem rich to you, but in reality, us old people are not wealthy. just generous.

troll> a person that fakes situations in posts to get attention for some reason.

you are not a troll.

You're young, there wasn't anything funny or worth celebrating in what you did. I'm new to this forum but it seems very community-minded and celebrates everthing about guitar, so when your post appeared what you got didn't surprise me. At least you listened to what people were saying, went back and did the right thing; so many people don't these days.

You are young, obviously, and I am dying of laughter at the spanking you took here but I am (who the heck am I? Stupid stranger on the internet) very proud that you went back to the uncle with honesty. Believe it or not, none of us scolding you have done it all perfectly. We've all stumbled and said stupid, VERY stupid things... but good job on correcting yourself.

NOW, get to playing that guitar and GET A JOB you slacker!! LOL

Good job in the turnabout. You could have just ignored everyone's advise and not said a word to your Uncle. But you did the right thing. Now dig deep and write a song about what you've learned.!! :)

My 2 cents.

I could see doing this if the uncle had always treated me like crap. I can be evil that way.

But the LAST thing I would do would be to go on a public forum and brag about it. That's just weird. The OP was either looking for approval, or looking for disapproval.

He would do well to examine why he wanted to air out this deed in public.

It's probably a good thing he did, overall, since he has corrected himself.

:shock:
