Steve Vai is auctioning off selected gear with partial proceeds going towards charity. OK that's a good cause for sure but pros giving up gear is surely the sign of times. Let us face the fact that as we age, the relevance of our indulgences decreases. This is true if we do not keep up with the times. The new breed of guitar geeks have their own heroes to look up to, the older ones may / may not be appealing to them. So the important thing here is to keep the appeal factor going with reference to currency. However appealing the Beatles, Hendrix & GnR are, their time now is unlike their time then. But folks, do not totally disregard the charitable aspect, we are human after all, we look out for one another.
