thats a good story.

my girlfriend asked me what i wanted for my birthday for months, i kept telling her a tele, just the standard 400 dollar one.

she got me some cologne, i guess she was happy with my guitars i already had, she just wanted me to smell better.

i have gotten rid of two guitars that i really miss over the years(not many all together), but i still think about them from time to time. and i dont think about them like i do my old very long relationship, i actually miss those guitars. ill probably think about them forever, but for the girl, not so much. the girl will be gone from memory, but the guitars, they will always be there.

They're all a little different, each one special, and each has its own uniquely endearing attributes.

And they all have those little things that irritate you.

Funny, though - I've had a couple of my guitars over 35 years, and I haven't kept any lovers that long! :D

I think of them as orphans. They all need a home and I've got plenty of space left in the neighbors garage.:D
 
It's the old what would you save from the burning house question. Kids first obviously. But I now have the Poisoned Bride trained to leap from a second story window with a guitar under one arm and a Fender Twin under the other.;)

If you love that girl you'll miss her more than any lump of wood glue and strings. Trust me.;)
 
Guitars are like beer . . . they smell good, they taste good, and you'd step over your own mother to get one! :eek: :D

Guitars are more like a well loved drinking buddy than a lover.When guitars do
something that irritates you,You can do a few mods and change it.When well
loved drinking buddy does something to irritate you,a few mods to his hooch
intake will change him.When a lover irritates you,you cant change it,and that
is why god made guitars and drinking buddies.

I like it. :)

I feel all warm and fuzzy inside now. I'm gonna go home and hug all my guitars.

And ground the kids. :D

You've got it backwards if it's anything like my axe. Hug the kids, then properly ground the guitar....

*hummmmmmmmm*
 
I just realized how much of a "keeper" my wife is... She has bought me more guitars than I have bought for myself! Gotta love a woman that will do that! I'm showing my age, I used to rely on guitars to get me the ladies, now I rely on a lady to get me the guitars. She refers to my collection of guitars as my "harem" and I think she is right. One really cool thing is I have never heard of anyone catching a STD from a guitar.
 
I find I always have trouble with the "G" strings on my guitars but I never have any trouble with the "G" string that I wear........ermmm.......I mean that my wife wears! :p
