Retired Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I have an advantage! I get yelled at now and then but I usually have my hearing aids out and when she's done she will say; "Did You Hear What I Just Said?" I'll look up and say, "Huh?"

LarryUK Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 The 3 guitars that I've bought this year are investments and I could probably sell them for double what I paid. The 78 Hamer Sunburst. Mint condition. I paid £900 The Fender Modern player Strat. I paid £190 and the Hamer Mirage only £625. both mint. The day I bought the Sunburst The seller had his other guitars out. Custom shop 59 Les Paul and Custom shop Strat. The Hamers are easily as good as the Gibson Custom shop and my Chinese made Strat plays as well as his Custom shop. I always polish my frets and it makes such a difference to the playability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 You'll like it,, those are really good acoustics guitars. The store down the road has been selling them since they were first available. I've played a number of them. Pretty Impressive. Fender does not have a history of offering good acoustics, the Paramounts re-write that story IMHO.

Karloff Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 its easier to ask for forgiveness that to ask permission ... while she's not talking to you you've got more time to play guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Best advice I can give... separate bank accounts. One less thing to fight about. I don't know what her shoes and make up cost - she doesn't know what my guitar gear costs. Enjoy the new guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Gibson Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 I'm safe til she reads the emails. Besides I bought her a 3400.00 set of living room furniture with electric recliners for our anniversary. Marriage insurance they call it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 LOL well in my case my wife will see a guitar and want me to buy it. I insist that it's way to close to Christmas but she keeps insisting that it's so beautiful and I need a red one. She was recently with me at GC and saw this. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gretsch-Guitars/FSR-Two-Tone-Electromatic-Pro-Jet-with-Bigsby-Electric-Guitar.gc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats outta the bag,I confessed,she said that was my anniversary present even though I bought it. I of course went along with that. I should buy another guitar that was easy.

Retired Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Ok, with folks here getting new guitars I just got a big OK from the wife to get a new guitar or amp for Christmas. As long as it's not over $400.00 so thought I'd get the Squire vintage jaguar. I like the candy apple red but her and the son like the surf green so it really doesn't matter. I like both. This will make the 3rd one she gave me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, you had all that snow up north. I got mine. Just like I thought, it was a vintage modified Surf Green Jaguar by Fender Squire. Love it and have been playing it for 34 days now.
