It doesn't look quite as big with everything else around it, but it looks good next to his collection.
[OC] My dad loved the giant watch I made him for father's day

Now you have to make a giant guitar for him too.

That's exactly what he'd expect now. Subvert expectations! Make a tiny guitar!
There's a luthier reading this post now exclaiming "Tiny guitar!? Absolute madness! We're through the looking glass here, people".

Jesus Christ it’s a buck short of one hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars what the fuck also it’s hideous

At first glance I thought that it was a ~135$ guitar
Then i saw the “9.00”
juandemarco@feddit.it · 1 pts · 2y
Yeah, it's around 120k more than what I would consider the highest price that could make sense for an acoustic guitar, and even that's a bit of a stretch...

Don’t mean to be rude but did you know your dad kinda resembles partying face emoji?
PancakeTrebuchet@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
He gets that all the time! He's just come to embrace it at this point.

Good job! Not as big as I had thought, perfectly tasteful size.

Is that a Danelectro on the wall, in red?
PancakeTrebuchet@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y
It's a Rivolta something or other
Lighttrails@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y
My guess would be Supro or Airline
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net · 3 pts · 2y
Yeah that's a much better guess but we are both wrong

I think your dad and my dad would vibe hard tbh. 😂 that music room screams my dad too. Oh and great job on the watch! I saw your other post too. Very cool. Even better when the recipient is happy!

Nice

Interesting to have a humidifier under your guitars. I'd say high humidity would rust your strings in no time right? And possibly be bad for the wood as well
PancakeTrebuchet@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y
Negative. You want humidity, otherwise the necks dry out and warp.
A lot of music stores have their acoustic guitars in closed rooms which basically act as giant humidors. Some players go as far as having a humidifier in each guitar case.
As long as the humidifier isn't spewing directly on a guitar, you want one in the room.
Strings will rust over time, but they'd do that just about anywhere where there is moisture in the air, humidifier or not.

I mean it's far more useful than that box full of small watches. He's only got the two arms, and those things probably all cost hundreds of bucks a piece.
PancakeTrebuchet@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Different watches for different occasions, just like ties, shoes, glasses, and every other piece of jewelry. One of those belonged to his grandfather, and another was a gift from his dad when he graduated college. I don't think any of his watches cost more than $500, which, in the watch collecting world, isn't a ton of money.
