zombywoof Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 When I met my wife-to-be she was playing a 1994 Gibson J-100. She had even gigged as part of a duo doing mostly folk and singer/songwriter stuff. Unfortunately for me she really liked my '60 J-200. When I walked through the door one evening with the '56 SJ in hand her only response was -"Good, now you have a guitar too." How could ya not love a woman like that.

guitarstrummer Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Yep, mine also plays, as well as three out of my five kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballcorner Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 My wife doesn't play as often as I would like to see her play. She was a non-player when she met me and has learned off and on over the past five of our sixteen years together. Her weapon of choice is my OM-21 Martin. She has delicate hands, and it is odd that she would choose an instrument with such a nut width, but that is how it goes. I bought her a beautiful LG-1 at one point thinking that pencil thin neck would work for her, but no dice. The only Gibson she ever picks up that she really wants is the Super Jumbo in blonde. She is going to have to take a more regular interest to find herself behind one of those ($3600 here in Nova Scotia, ON SALE!!) and perhaps have her right arm stretched.

gearbasher Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 When it comes to women, I end up getting played by them. More like a cheap fiddle than a Gibson. Hence, I have no significant other. At least, for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilliangirl Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I have two significant others...... one prefers to sleep in the guitar case rather than play guitar. This creates significant problems when the case falls down on his tail. The other significant-other runs and hides under the bed everytime the guitar comes out so....... no, I do not have a significant other who actually plays guitar (the traditional way one plays guitar).

jefleppard Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 so..my latest crush on jinder's supporting act doesn't count then? my first acoustic - a fender dred w/hog b/s with a sticker of a metallic blue cat just under the fender logo on the headstock that my daughter put there- belonged to my ex wife. she rarely played it but i, otoh, used it constantly. as my marriage disintegrated, she'd go out on the weekend and i'd sit in the kitchen with a bottle of wine and the guitar and write songs, piecing together all the lyrics i'd written on scraps of paper throughout the week. even used it to record my first cd. sadly, it stayed with her and she got a bit of pleasure down the road telling me how it sold at a yard sale for 50 bucks.

We have nicked her and she is now an Essex Girl. Not quite my neighbour but fairly close. To continue a string from a couple of months ago...........

ksdaddy Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Victoria Beckham in 1998 yes, Victoria Beckham in 2008 no. At some point in those ten years her face froze into one expression and it's unpleasant. Mel C, absolutely. I'll even pay the postage. Oh, the other two are Susan Tedeschi and Sue Foley, Tele spankin' ladies from this side of the pond (Sue from our northern neighbor). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a dvd called Strat Pack on which Theresa Andersson played a few songs with a Strat (unsurprisingly). Can't find it on You Tube but check it out - it's brill. Here she is (I think) with a far more acceptable weapon of choice. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey thanks GB Was just down stairs waiting to watch the highlights programme! WOT time now She didn't crunch her shimanos or her campagolas (<??) Way to go we (that is GB) won something! That Phelps guy is a bit useful if AlbertJohn can establish that his paternal great great grandmother was born in Chelmsford perhaps he can get into the English cricket team!

gearbasher Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Campagnolo. My bikes have to be Italian. My saddles (bicycle) have to be English. My guitars have to be American. My women have to be alive (though I lean towards ones from the far east). Also, a British "lady" took silver in the "woman's" cycling individual time trial. Maybe, I should be riding in England.
