[OC] My dad loved the giant watch I made him for father's day
It doesn't look quite as big with everything else around it, but it looks good next to his collection.

Now you have to make a giant guitar for him too.
That's exactly what he'd expect now. Subvert expectations! Make a tiny guitar!
There's a luthier reading this post now exclaiming "Tiny guitar!? Absolute madness! We're through the looking glass here, people".
What a fun new word to learn, thank you friend
Thanks for posting the definition and help sharing the knowledge
Be the comment section you wanna see, ya know?
Also, happy cake day my dude. Glad to see you still here
Yeah I like to do the same when I google more info after reading a comment or article on here. Def good vibes.
And ty! Can’t believe it’s been a year!
i've never seen a guitar shaped like a watch.
It ain't cheap but Martin got wares if you've got coin...
Jesus Christ it’s a buck short of one hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars what the fuck also it’s hideous
At first glance I thought that it was a ~135$ guitar
Then i saw the “9.00”
Yeah, it's around 120k more than what I would consider the highest price that could make sense for an acoustic guitar, and even that's a bit of a stretch...
Don’t mean to be rude but did you know your dad kinda resembles partying face emoji?
He gets that all the time! He's just come to embrace it at this point.
Shit, I’d put my money on it’s actually him.
Good job! Not as big as I had thought, perfectly tasteful size.
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing 'the rest of the story'!!
That's awesome! Happy belated father's day to him!
Don't really have anything to add, but wanted to boost the activity on this post.
Indeed, exclusice OC is rare on Lemmy.
Nice
Is that a Danelectro on the wall, in red?
It's a Rivolta something or other
My guess would be Supro or Airline
Yeah that's a much better guess but we are both wrong
I think your dad and my dad would vibe hard tbh. 😂 that music room screams my dad too. Oh and great job on the watch! I saw your other post too. Very cool. Even better when the recipient is happy!
Interesting to have a humidifier under your guitars. I'd say high humidity would rust your strings in no time right? And possibly be bad for the wood as well
Negative. You want humidity, otherwise the necks dry out and warp.
A lot of music stores have their acoustic guitars in closed rooms which basically act as giant humidors. Some players go as far as having a humidifier in each guitar case.
As long as the humidifier isn't spewing directly on a guitar, you want one in the room.
Strings will rust over time, but they'd do that just about anywhere where there is moisture in the air, humidifier or not.
I mean it's far more useful than that box full of small watches. He's only got the two arms, and those things probably all cost hundreds of bucks a piece.
Different watches for different occasions, just like ties, shoes, glasses, and every other piece of jewelry. One of those belonged to his grandfather, and another was a gift from his dad when he graduated college. I don't think any of his watches cost more than $500, which, in the watch collecting world, isn't a ton of money.
