    Default New Guitar Incoming!

    I was out and about, running errands today. On our way to look for some new furniture, we stopped to drop of my ASAT Special at the my favorite store. It's getting a fret levelling and will be 110% soon.

    I have been lusting over this "Himalayan Blue" G&L SC-2 for a while now (looks exactly like the example on G&L's website):

    http://www.glguitars.com/instruments.../sc2/index.asp

    I can't stop playing it. I like it more than any of the G&Ls or PRSi hanging on the wall...and that's saying something. Really feels like this guitar should be mine. You know what I mean? You play better on it than the other guitars in the store. You can dial it in right away.

    Well, I was taking it for a spin...again...and the wife told me I should pull the trigger on it. We debated it for a while (I have 6 electrics and have been relegated to hobbyist for years now), and she shocked the salesguy by pushing me to buy this guitar. What an enabler. Bless her heart!

    I put money down so they'd hold it for me, as I couldn't lug it around with me all afternoon. I'll bring it home tomorrow (actually later today as of this writing) and I will have it to play during this week's vacation.

    Woo-hoo! I'm glad they brought back those old G&L designs. One of the guys in Devo has been playing an SC-2 of late, of all things.

    Congrats.

    Congrats on the new guitar. Have you decided on a pillow pattern to go with it?

    Hey, I love the color.

    This is another one of those envy responses. Another GAS inciter.

    I received a quote for $1300 to have my car fixed to pass the Ohio environmental test. I ended up doing it myself for about $160 and passed the test today. Now if wife was like Hucks, I would be out right now picking out my new ES335.

    Huck - more envy on my part.
