Location: Flahdaw | I don't know.....I've heard a few people who surely wore out a few guitars. I mean, I was certainly tired of listening after only 2 minutes. Surely the guitar gives up after a period of time. |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Willie Nelson keeps on playing his and it looks trashed but still plays...Dream Guitars has a 1928 Martin 00-28 that is the poster guitar for abuse but it sounds great... |

Location: 6 String Ranch | I would venture to say that the 200 year old violins and chelli are still good because they've been rebuilt so many times by experienced people.
I remember hearing that Segovia would say a guitar had a 15-20 year life for him. 5 to break it in and the next 10 or so for the peak and then the back side of the hill. |
