'[He] wants my 1963 Fender': Musician refuses to give her $3,000 vintage guitar to her teenaged stepson; stands her ground even when accosted by family

Kids don't understand the value of things. It may sound old school, but the only way to really know what something is worth, is to work really hard to acquire it, which a child or teenager obviously haven't lived long enough to do. And just like we learned when watching Antiques Roadshow at 2AM, when it comes to vintage, classic, or collector's valuables, there's more than just the monetary value to something– that lazy-eyed clown doll may seem worthless, but to the clown collecting bag lady, it's priceless. So to a musician and a vintage instrument collector, what's a 60 year old vintage Fender worth?

A couple thousand dollars… at least!

They say that the only thing harder than being a good mom is being a good step mom. As we know, children of divorce can get a little testy with their newfound parent-figures and it's tough to make a good impression as someone's knew 'mommy'. In this story, u/Commercial_Truth6978 was having a hard time connecting with her stepson. Apart from their interest in music, they had nothing in common but dear ol' dad and for the stepson, that wasn't enough. He wanted her to make a real gesture of "love", but not everyone's love language is 'gift giving'. When pressed to give her teenage stepson her 1963 vintage Fender guitar (which cost $3,000 by the way), OP was faced with a tough decision.

Scroll for the most epic family stand off, where a music loving collector stands her ground against people who have no idea what her guitar collection is worth. For more stories of triumph, here's a tale of a woman at the mechanic that stands up to a snooty Karen, shutting down her tirade and driving her out of the store.
