It doesn’t look quite as big with everything else around it, but it looks good next to his collection.

      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”.

        A luthier (/ˈluːtiər/ LOO-tee-ər; US also /ˈluːθiər/ LOO-thee-ər)[1][2] is a craftsperson who builds or repairs string instruments that have a neck and a sound box.

        What a fun new word to learn, thank you friend

    Don’t mean to be rude but did you know your dad kinda resembles partying face emoji?

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

    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!

    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

      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.

      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.
