Actually, now that I think about it, it might have a short shelf life. I forget. I've not used it in ages. I haven't fixed my own guitars in a long, long time.
I enjoy the work into maintaining my own, at least my favorites. Had I a collection of historically significant instruments like you do, Id prefer the cachet of having luthiers maintain them.
I only have one significant instrument, and it’s only so due to a combination of being handmade and (of course?) because of it being my primary. ;D
Yeah, I've got a guy in Farmington. I haven't been able to lately, due to a smashed femur and laziness, but I normally bring him a few each month just to have him give them a solid cleaning and inspection. I kinda rotate through them that way. I also send him all my new (used) pieces that I buy. He does important things like inspect for fungus and shit like that. Then he cleans and repairs anything needing it. I just consider it to be pretty much like a utility bill.
