New Guitar Day!

This year has been particularly tough on my wife and I. Our home was damaged by a tornado. My mother is terminally ill and my wife's father had a mild stroke. My wife's sister and and brother-in-law are going through a divorce that is destroying the lives of their six children. Our lives have been turned upside down. However, the one constant in my life has been my wife's love and support. I haven't been myself for a while. Just really started playing my guitars again. Monday is my seventh wedding anniversary. The wife just floored me with a surprise gift...... I Love This Woman's Taste!

That is awesome, as is your wife. I have a wonderful wife too,, but am still waiting for the day she buys me a guitar ( I don't think that will happen, as she would have no idea where to start)

That's beautiful. The gesture and the guitar. Happy anniversary, man. My wife and I just had our seventh, too... It's awesome when you find a good one. I'm thankful every day to have gotten it so right the first time.... I'll bet you feel the same. :-)

Great....great...guitar. Congrats!!! I've lusted for one of those since Burgs used one on his demos.

My wife did something very similar when she gave me a PRS DGT Gold Top after a particularly trying year. Aren't we lucky!!!

Thanks guys..... I have a wonderful wife. If you get the chance to plunk around on one of the new PRS studio models I recommend it. The narrowfield pups are amazing.....

Seems the wifey knows a thing or two about helping to keep you sane. This is a good thing to have in a wife, especially during times of adversity. Congrats and be thankful for all you have.
