The Quest for the Story in the Guitar
Being inquisitive, he became interested in finding out everything possible about the guitar. He began to research the make and model of the guitar. He soon realized that it was an old brand that was known to produce quality craftsmanship. This only made him more curious. He had almost underrated the value of the guitar being much more than what he had perceived. Every little piece of information kept bringing him closer to the story that this instrument possessed.
He went back to the pawn shop where he had bought it, thinking perhaps the owner might know something about the guitar’s history. The shop owner remembered that the guitar had been sold to them by an older gentleman who had said that it belonged to a local musician. The owner had nothing more to say but encouraged the young man to go around the town in an effort to find the kind of person who could possibly give him some idea of what the musician was like.
The question sparked an interest in the young man, who began going around the area to ask if anyone knew anything about the type of musician who, at one point, owned his guitar. He walked from shop to shop, speaking to musicians and even open mic nights because he wanted someone to hear his story. Pieces began slowly surfacing, and this young man discovered he was unearthing much more than he could have imagined in life.
