"Better to ask for forgiveness than for permission"

We'll see if this quote is true when wifey gets home tonight...

[Spudman]

We wont chastize you like your wife will. SO TELL US WHAT YOU GOT.:spank:

[Algonquin]

[luvmyshiner]

[peachhead]

Your luck has to be better than mine- I did that and all I got to show her was pieces...:messedup:

[Tone2TheBone]

Men who buy Marshalls. Way ta go brother!

[just strum]

over here it shows the wife arrived at 5:30 and it is now 6:46 and no word from Algonquin. What shall we make of this?

[peachhead]

To steal a quote from another forum that I read (tractors):

Anybody can own a Kubota. To own three Kubotas, it takes a man who wears the pants :D

I guess you can translate that into major guitars and amps too :D

[ted s]

Maybe he's returning it !?

[Algonquin]

Maybe he's returning it !?

Come ON David ! What's up !?

[Algonquin]

I was trying to post a pic... but the da*n 2GB SD card is giving my laptop grief and it's frozen.

I know this thread is worthless without pics or clips, but I picked up an Ibanez Artcore Custom Semi today. Kind of an impulse purchase, but it was there staring me down in the shop. Very nice lightly used guitar in near mint condition. I believe I saw this guitar recently in the locals, but it ended up in a shop I frequent on consignment. Payed a little more than I was hoping to, but got a nice guitar at a decent price. A few packs of strings were thrown in, and the offer to play it for a couple of weeks and bring it back in for a setup.

Looks a lot like this...

Anyone know where I can buy some nice jewelry quickly?

[street music]

Very nice my new SX looks a lot like that too. How does it sound?

[Robert]

You can sleep in our basement for the next few weeks, if you need.

How much did that boot in the behind hurt? :)

[Algonquin]

It hurt more coming out than it did going in... and that's all I have to say about that. ;)

[Robert]

Well, I guess you might have to stand up when you practice that nice guitar then.

[luvmyshiner]

Sweet guit Al! I'm sure it's worth all the pain. Next time just tell her you bought it as a gift for her because it's almost as beautiful as she is. Works at my house.:beer:

Or . . . maybe you should take her to the Bahamas.:D

[Steve206]

Now,

there's a man who knows how to buy a guitar!!!

Before Warren gets a chance to say it....Now that's funny, I don't care who you are! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Good pickup, 'Gonq! Everybody needs a good semihollow! :AOK: :rockon:

Nice score David !

[sunvalleylaw]

Looks beautiful David! I played on a bit like that at a shop and really liked it too.

[Algonquin]

Thanks for the nice words Folks!

Here's a shot of the guitar... I'll post some feedback/clips after I've
had it a while so I can give a better review.

Cheers :beer:

[Bloozcat]

It hurt more coming out than it did going in... and that's all I have to say about that. ;)

What...? Did she shoot you in the back with an arrow, or something...:eek:

Nice guitar, David. Congratulations! Everyone needs a semi-hollow body, it's like in the rule book or something (isn't it?).

Just think of the pain like childbirth or something. Women always say that's worth the pain (although I just can't imagine!). And just think, you won't even have to send the guitar to college...;)

I've got the low end version, the AS-73 in Cherry Red Transparent. After a pickup change and re-wiring, it sounds fantastic. Yours being the better version, it probably won't even need that.
:AOK:

[Algonquin]

Thanks Bloozcat! I really came very close to ordering the Cherry AS73 like you have... but I knew I didn't stand much of a chance to justify buying this one if I already had the AS73. I'm really interested in one like yours in the future though... that colour is fantastic!

[ted s]

Gotta love that top !

[bigoldron]

Dude, that's one SWEET guitar! But, I don't know if even jewelry will get you out of this one!:punch: :nono: :eek:

[peachhead]

Take her somewhere and let her buy some shoes. That always works.

Nice guitar! :D

[M29]

That is sweet Algonquin:AOK: The fretboard inlays, the flamed top, the bound f holes it is just sweet sweet sweet. Congrats.

[Spudman]

That's their top of the line model with that finish. Ibanez has several more models with that finish and every one of them is outstanding. I've played all of them and the only thing that has kept me from buying one is that they are darned expensive. I trust you got a killer deal?

Beautiful guitar.:AOK:
