    We donated a guitar to a high school music program. Honestly, I don’t know anyone who owns exactly one guitar. You either have none or several. Do you really need them all? How about taking your old student model and letting a beginner play on it? I get it. It’s that sentimental first instrument you ever picked up. But you’re not playing it anymore, and instruments like to be played. It deserves a happier life than sitting at the back of your closet.

      You can’t blame people who pay for their own things for schools not having enough supplies. I have 14 guitars. I’ve owned about 20 and I’ve given away some to people who want to learn.

      Schools need better funding. I didn’t cause this problem.
