Ngd! 07' r8

Hey guys, don't usually have anything worth posting, but this weekend I was driving from So Cal to Oklahoma for my job, and came across a deal in Albuquerque I couldn't pass up! I randomly just walked into the GC killing time and saw this R8 hanging up on the wall in the corner.

I usually don't look at them too much, since it just depresses me that I can't afford to pay the retail on one, but this one was on clearance and was over 30% off. I had the guy pull it down to play it and the neck just felt so amazing! I contemplated on it for a while, I knew I didn't need to spend that much, but once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down.
I ended up picking it up and having the salesman throw in a nice leather strap and some straplocks. I have to say... this guitar just plays and sounds amazing! I can't wait till I get home in October to be able to actually plug it into my real amp.

Here's some pics..
The other guitar is my Standard..

Congrats! That's certainly one way to make a long drive feel worth it

Happy New Guitar Day!
