My wife got me this today.

Words can't describe my feeling.

Edit: couple of more shots in the morning when I am watching soccer...

Nicky · 06-19-2010, 12:52 AM

Send her my way.

The guitar, not the wife. Or, maybe.........

mudfinger · 06-19-2010, 12:55 AM

I'm thinking our man has got a couple of keepers on his hands. Grats, and props to the missus for doin it right!

silverkw · 06-19-2010, 01:03 AM

Thanks guys, I am overjoyed and this picture don't do her justice, but this the best I got for a night picture... :P

BMS · 06-19-2010, 01:05 AM

You are a kept man my friend. And that's not a bad thing. Congrats!

kungpow! · 06-19-2010, 02:05 AM

harrie 0492 · 06-19-2010, 03:55 AM

Does that mean I have to buy her something now?

GibsonByBirth · 06-19-2010, 05:39 AM

Let's hear how she sounds when you play her (either one you prefer your call).

Feeling Supersonic · 06-19-2010, 06:07 AM

I hope she won't regret buying you your new joy, when she finds you calling it by her first name and caressing it's tuner pegs. She may feel truly replaced.

Nice guitar dude! Enjoy

You make it sound like that's abnormal...

Nice git and TV

***b-squared*** · 06-19-2010, 02:20 PM

Darkback?

Sweetness...and the guitar is pretty nice, as well!

BB

spindrift · 06-19-2010, 07:10 PM

Now the other shoe drops..."honey you know that Kitchen counter I wanted..?"
LOL
You have a SUPER GREAT wife!

silverkw · 06-19-2010, 08:06 PM

I don't have any recording tools right now, so the tune will have to wait, but she sounds super nice through my Vox!

No it's not a darkback, but I don't actually particularly care about the back color

Yeah she (wife) is great! It was pretty interesting, a few weeks ago I was gassing for a GT, my first R because I have been saving up for a bit. I was about to close a deal with a forum member here (that was a darkback), but one of my CL sale fell through and I was short like $500.

My wife knew about it and there's happened to be a guy selling this baby locally, so she suggested me checking it out. I loved the guitar. Next thing you know, she came home with the cash and we went and picked her up!

oursonvie · 06-20-2010, 02:10 AM

I can recall the picture from guitarchina, lol
Congrat mate,

Strikerfox · 06-20-2010, 02:14 AM

Sweet Guitar. Now thats one Wife who knows what her hubby wants! (aside from some nookie)
My gf took me to Aruba for my Bday. While no Gibson Historic, still kickass.

Congratulations!

Great looking guitar. You have a great wife, and a nice guitar.

It is really inspiring to hear positive stories about ladies that support their husband's hobbies.

My wife is fantastically supportive also.

I had purchased two rack cases from someeone on another forum.

The box arrived on Friday while I was at work, and my wife called me to let me know my guitar had arrived! I said, "Oh, you bought me a guitar for Father's Day?" She said, "No, but your Martin arrived, what model did you get?"

When she told me about the Martin box, I reminded her about the two cases I had purchased.

And then I said, "You mean I could have bought another guitar?"

She laughed, and said I would sooner or later ....

JIM'S GoldTOP · 06-20-2010, 09:06 AM

Congrats. What a beautifull GT!

GibsonByBirth · 06-20-2010, 09:07 AM

What is your guitar a standard vos?

vmjoe · 06-20-2010, 10:23 AM

Congrats.

You are going to love it.

Does your's have a tree trunk sized neck? The neck on mine is huge, but I really have come to love it's size. No smart remarks folks

.

silverkw · 06-20-2010, 11:56 AM

Soccer vs football?

we have a mixed crowd here, how about we all call it FIFA?

This is supposed to be a VOS, but honestly, it's pretty shiny as is, looks pretty much like a Gloss, then again, that's how GT's look like I guess.

I just love the look of GT's. I might put open blacks in her sometimes though because that would look even better...

The neck size is not very big, it feels more like a 59 I have tried last week.

Our sport was called football first, more people call our sport football, therefore you can change the name. We will keep the name for our sake.
/RANT

Looks like an amazing guitar. How's the neck on it? Apparently they've got a bit thinner in 2010...

Bear · 06-20-2010, 02:05 PM

Congarts man, that is what I want under my Christmas tree this year! That is a great gift, you are very lucky.

Adwex · 06-20-2010, 02:52 PM

R7s RULE ! ...if you can hang with the fat neck.

Best bang for your tone buck in the entire guitar world.
Never heard a mediocre one yet.

Flight595 · 06-21-2010, 12:30 PM

Lucky Bastard!!

Laaz · 06-21-2010, 02:12 PM

planks · 06-21-2010, 02:54 PM

silverkw · 06-21-2010, 06:28 PM
