I am currently wrestling with the same decision, so your story and pictures really struck home (I was going to say 'a chord').
I started playing guitar when I was 11 years old and I was still seriously playing about five or so years ago (I'm currently 58). I thought I'd still be playing when I was in my dotage but in the last few years I have completely lost interest. I think I may have picked up my guitar once in the last year and the callouses I was always so proud of have now disappeared and it is actually painful to play.
It is very hard to let go of something which has been a significant part of your life. However, reading your story it is somewhat comforting to know that others have made the same decision.
Thanks for sharing
