There are probably some broken guitars in there among them. It's all good... I'll be sending them all to my luthier a handful of guitars at a time. I'll have my son attend to it even when I'm not here. That'll give him some work and he can document them all for me along the way.
I've got some neat stuff in there, that I do know about. I have more than one Martin from before the turn of the century, for example.
Those old Martins have got to be very valuable.
Those won't be as valuable as you might think. For example, a 1945 or even 1955 or maybe even 1965 dreadnought would likely be more valuable. Collectors aren't as into them as one might think.
Guitar collecting is illogical at times - kinda like car collecting.
You're talking about late 1800's if I understand you correctly. I guess they might not be as playable as those you mentioned, but they have to be more rare.
