onewilyfool Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 IF she is romantic.......tell her you got the guitar so you could compose a love song to her!!!!! Once a man was told by his wife to stop buying beer because they were short of funds that month. That night his wife came home with 65 bucks worth of MAKEUP!!! The husband couldn't believe it. He complained, "Why do I have to give up my beer, if you are out there buying all that makeup???!!!" She calmly replied, " That makeup makes me beautiful for you!!" He whined, "Why do you think I was buying the beer????" If you could only convince your wife, that owing that new guitar would make here more beautiful in your eyes.......

zombywoof Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Don't need to - my wife loves guitars and her favorites are Gibsons. She had actually gigged before we were married. She owned a J-100 when we met but fell head over heels in love with my old battle scarred J-200. When I walked in one day with an SJ under my arm, her only comment was - good, now you have a guitar too. How can ya not love a woman like that.

Blaster Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Buy her a nice diamond ring and when she's delirious over it tell her you've got a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy a special guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksdaddy Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I just do it. She just shrugs when a new case shows up. She knows it's a self-sustaining hobby if done right and I don't think I can quote a time when "paycheck" money went to guitars... it's always parlaying one for the next. In fact there has been many occasions when groceries were bought with ebay income, so that always helps. I think she gets more upset when I pay big money for a guitar and then don't like it and have to resell it. She sees what I go through shopping online, weighing deals, battling ebay auctions, waiting for UPS to show up, etc., all so I can do it all over again in a couple weeks. She loves me just enough to not want my head to explode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I'm a bar gigger, and HAVE to buy some guitars, amps, stuff every year for taxes. But I'm also blessed to have a wife that appreciates quality instruments. We bought our daughter a Les Paul Studio for her 9th Birthday. The 1933 Gibson Mandolin is actually my wifes! Murph.

Todd Wilson Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Just tell her that you learned a valuable lesson.... Not to carry $2,500 in cash on you because you lost it! It evidently just fell out of your pocket. But while you were trying to find it you did find a guitar just lying in the street! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Dog Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 My wife is pretty supportive, within reason. She likes my music. In fact, I played three original songs for her and a couple of our friends after dinner this evening. She commented that she thinks my stuff is as good as anything she hears when we go out, etc. She has said that before. I need to transfer that into confidence when I play live later this year. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR GIBS Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The "diamond ring" and the "love song for her" things are pretty, but they are spoken to women's language. If you have the enough money you don't have to tell her nothing in your defence. If you are not so rich you just have to tell her in "men's language" that you need a new (or not so new) Gibson - which meens that you have to practice hard on your actual guitar (s) and to be "tenace" as they say in France. Women respect men that work and that are decided to make theyr own things go. Buying a new Gibson is a serious business, so I think that you have to be VERY SERIOUS in your intentions before your wife. And in the end - anyone can do whatever he wants (needs) - just have to handle with the consequences.[-(/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Jay Leno's wife was asked if she shared Jay's love for all those cars that keep following him home. Her reply went something like this, "I'm just glad the money he spends isn't going up his nose... and... I know where MY husband is on Saturday night; up to his elbows in parts cleaner."
