I have a tracking number..........................

Oh yes, you will be mine.......

By Wednesday, I will have my Lemonburst

I will then take my own pictures

I am just a little excited

I can't wait

Until Wednesday.

Thanks Steve (Badhabit) I am anxious to see what the hype is all about. Will this guitar make me want to sell all my other guitars??

hahahaha +1 on that! When I ordered my Xaviere I was really excited; I checked the tracking like every hour of the day, and I used to dream about the mailman bringing, it until he finally showed up with it a week later. He musta thought I was nuts because I'd go down everyday to see if he had it

Re: I have a tracking number..........................

I'm having it shipped to my work since we have a shipping/receiving dept. that way I don't have to worry in case my wife isn't home. I live 30 miles from work and I'm off on Tuesday, so I told the shipping guy here at work that if it happened to show up a day early to call me right away and I'd drive up here.

The day my Burton Tele shipped to my work, I pulled into work and slammed my door into the delivery truck! I was so pissed, it was a box truck and put a nice little dink in the edge of my door.

Re: I have a tracking number..........................

Oh all sounds so sweetly familiar, The day I got my first LP sat by the window for 8 hours and when the DSL truck finally showed at the end of the street It had 5 stops within 7 houses prior to mine.

Aha, so the wife doesn't know about it! That's the oldest trick in the GAS bible!


Congrats, Jomo, it's a beauty!

You got me.... I just take it upstairs after shes asleep. Bada bing bada boom, they all look the same to her.
Now if I ever buy one of your guitars, I'm gonna have to tell her that I soaked one of my LPs too long. "I accidentally washed it in hot honey".

Re: I have a tracking number..........................

Ya,waiting sucks.I got my first Les Paul for Cristmas from my parents.It came in a hard case so my mother rapped it up in ribbon so I couldn't open it.Then she sat it up in the corner of there room for 1 month before I could open it.I don't think she really knew how much I wanted NOW!

Sounds like you and I have too much in common!!!!
My wife got used to stuff comin' and goin'( The everlasting search)
That she's convinced I'm crazy when it comes to gear...and I believe her!!!!!!
Of zero intention of trying to brag; after paying my house off really seemed to keep her usual gear inspection outta radar+ plus my gear lunacy!!
Very nice guitar Jomo, my mood always seems to be on the up when a looker like yours is on its way

Re: I have a tracking number..........................

You guys are making me feel better..... One thing I'm telling myself is, "I've spent more than that on a couple guitars put together". So I think that my mind set is changing from quantity to quality. I will keep most of my guitars, but there are a few that are expendable, so if this R9 really does it for me, then I'll probably sell off a few and start buying more Historics down the road.
I also want to mention that Steve (Badhabit) has been awesome to work with, he is a great seller.

Re: I have a tracking number..........................

its much easier (to me) to justify spending $4000 on four good guitars than spending $4000 on 1 superb guitar.

i think you made the right decision with the Historic. the bad part is. that R9 will ruin all of your USA LPs.
