I seem to have a harem of musical instruments. I love them all and feel sort of guilty when I neglect one for some period of time. My old Gibson arch top blues guitar is the one that I've had the longest, ~ probably around fifty years. Sometimes it pays to hang on to them. I bought a Vega extra long neck (Pete Seeger type) for $250 around 20 years ago and when I was in Elderly Instruments last week I saw one there with a $2700 price tag. Trouble is that I just can't seem to bring myself to part with a good friend.
