o, sugar....

[Childbride]

i actually made a pact to keep this secret, to not post about it... [edit: i asked those i told not to say anything, it was my secret, not anyone else's]

and now i just can't help it...

==============

i acquired Wing's ASAT.

i came home from another 10-12 hr day of court this week to find her on the pool table.

we unpacked her, opened the case, and my eyes widened in awe as i sucked in my breath. she's beautiful.

after supper, shiner turned on the firefly, i tuned her up... plugged her in...

and i played her.

o, holy _______ batman...

i have no words.

her action... the maple neck... the pickups... the sound... the music flows from her like butter. she is my new Muse. she whispers to me. she has finger magnets.

she makes me sound good. :rotflmao:

i have never played a guitar like her. ever.

one more docket between me and a week off with her, my kids, and my husband.

and shiner will have to pry her from my fingers to go to sleep tonight. :D [if i can get her back from him; he's playing her behind me right now... wait, she's mine, i can get her back... ;) ]

Wings, i promise she will have the best humidity, the best care, and the most attention i can give her.

she and i are going to become BFF's. i can tell already. :D :D :D

Congrats, CB! Sounds like you've found "that one" guitar that talks to you! I know she's in good hands! We're all proud and excited you! And just in time for Christmas! Enjoy her and I hope that you and Shiner and your family have the happiest of holidays! :AOK: :bravo: :dude:

Now, if you can figure out to trick Shiner into putting the ASAT down... :D

Set a six pack on a table nearby, but just out of reach (including the cord) and see if he'll bite. :rotflmao:

[duhvoodooman]

Glad to see that (1) Wingsdad finally sold the ASAT, and that (2) it went to a good home! :AOK: :dude: :bravo:

BTW, how do you know that it's a "she"?? Isn't that rather presumptuous? :poke: ;)

It worked. You're a cruel, cruel man Ron.:cry:

[Childbride]

thanks, Ron... y'all will hear her next week, hopefully, when we record... she's my new BFF in the electric world. or the dark side. or whatever. :rotflmao:

DVM... o, she's a she. my muse is always female.

besides, she already told me her nickname. Wings named her Sugar, and that rings true. but she whispered another name to me tonight that corroborates. ;)

[wingsdad]

Perfect. :D :cool: :AOK:

She found her way home. I just helped her along. :)

[bigoldron]

It worked. You're a cruel, cruel man Ron.:cry:

Just a realist. It's the same reason a game warden will write you up for hunting over a baited field when you shoot another redneck at a beer joint. :beer: And I do know my rednecks, 'cause I are one... :rotflmao:

[bigoldron]

besides, she already told me her nickname. Wings named her Sugar, and that rings true. but she whispered another name to me tonight that corroborates. ;)

OK, now you've got my curiosity up. Name, please...

Congrats CB!! Sounds like a great guitar found a great new home. :bravo: :bravo:

[sunvalleylaw]

Congrats CB! You have some nice new gear coming into that house!

P.S. You made me get a "The Archies" song in my head with that subject title. :rotflmao:

[piebaldpython]

SWEET AXE!!! :bravo: Hope you two bond well. ahaa

[Steve206]

Kudos to you Texans,,,,

Great guitars for folks who really want to appreciate them. And it would seem that Shiner is living a charmed life???

Happy Holiday

Steve

[oldguy]

That is one beautiful guitar, and I'm glad it stayed "in the family", so to speak.
It's bound to be your new favorite, if only you can get it away from Shiner long enough to play it.......;)

[street music]

Congrats CB, that is great to see you already got a stocking stuffer, NOW JUST WAIT TILL YOU GET THE BIG GIFT. I know Shiner has something else he is holding out on giving you besides a cold beer.

[M29]

Congrats CB

[luvmyshiner]

know Shiner has something else he is holding out on giving you besides a cold beer.

Um . . . that's all she wanted for Christmas.:beer:

Last night after playing with sugar, I broke out my old OE30 a little for comparison purposes. All day I've been trying to think of a proper analogy. The closest I can come up with, is that it's like the difference between using a surgical scalpel and a plastic knife, or better yet, a spoon.:master:

[street music]

Dang Shiner, that is a big difference. I thought that you would know by now they never tell you everything on the list-surprise her with a great new Marshall or Peavey under the tree.

NOTE to CB, I'm tryng to help all I can.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO BOTH OF YOU!

[luvmyshiner]

In my defense Street, it is an UNOPENED cold beer, and that's a pretty rare item in my house.:D

[Childbride]
