Now that I have it, I am scared to even open the case. I've also got an old PA system he used that is in the shed because I've no room to have it set up in our house anymore. Plus, he had a newer PA that will probably go to me... I don't want to sell any of this stuff because it was his. Blah!!!
Holding onto your old man's gat is waaaay understandable though, especially since he literally earned his living to support you guys with it. Sentimentality doesn't get much more legit than that. You should never feel any doubt or hoarder guilt about that even if you never play it.
