It's like taking someone's tried and true Windows 7 machine and upgrading it to Windows 11.

Yeah, you don't fuck with shit a person is that attached to because you think it "looks rough"
Asshole: no.
Misguided: yes.
His reaction isn’t unreasonable. Misplaced well intentioned actions likely will not end as intended. Ultimately, she didn’t get it. She misunderstood what he loved about the guitar.
I kind of have a hard time imagining such a thing being done with sincerely good intentions, how many people would really do that? Easy to imagine it as a way to exercise power over someone with a plausible pretense though.
Don't fuck with people's shit without asking wtf. Life isn't like TV, not every surprise is going to be appreciated.
A worn appearance is often desired on old guitars. In some cases, it can even increase its value.
That, and the OP probably did what would be considered finishing someone's puzzle for them.
anon: congratulations, you're being rescued
guitar: "..."
anon: please do not resist
Oof, this is a rough one. While I appreciate the gesture, that's a personal thing. That's like taking someone's favorite pair of jeans and getting them hemmed because they'd frayed at the heel. Sometimes the wear and tear is what we value.
Yep. Literally all anon had to do was talk to him about it first. Communication is so fucking important. I would know because a lack of it was what ended my almost decade long relationship. Talk to your fucking partners, even if it's uncomfortable in the moment. If you don't you will be MUCH more uncomfortable later when everything explodes.
God damn, yeah, you are unfortunately.
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: yes, but longer.
Yeah, absolutely. If you took something that I painted (I can't paint, fwiw) and had it touched up, fuck you.
As a guitar player, you get so much used to how the instrument feels in your hand while you play it that even something that should make it better ends up making it feeling worse.
That said, if the husband really loved that guitar the way it was, he could have brought it back to the luthier, have them undo their job. Stop playing it altogether was his decision and acting like that seems like a "punishment" for their spouse. That would be childish and borderline toxic behavior.
Flip a coin, you might get a positive or negative reaction depending on how you frame it.
Unpopular opinion but no.
Yeah okay, how about I fixed your rounding error, huh? Huh?!
