My wife was watching "Say Yes To the Dress" and i happened through the room. I heard the bride-to-be whining about how she didn't like the lace, didn't like her waistline, didn't like blah blah blah.

So I made a "WAAAAAH!" sound effect.

My wife, without missing a beat, says "it's just like you buying a guitar, dave: 'i don't like the neck. i don't like the color. i don't like the tone.'"

We both laughed.
:p
 
Oh, that is funny. My wife could say the same thing to me. I drive my wife nuts with all my him'in and ha'in about guitars.

Funny thing is that the gals only ware the dress once, we play our guitars for our whole lives if we can Not that that makes a difference.
 
My wife laid a little piece of gold on me this weekend.

When I mentioned my new Vela, she asked, "So...is this the one that will make you play better, so you get paid for playing gigs, so you can pay back the money you've spent for the other three guitars you bought in the last few months?"

All I could say was... "Words hurt."

I hate it when she can so easily nail me to the wall. :)
 
My ex-wife would give me the business if I spent a couple hundred bucks on something gear related. Now I have a very supportive GF :) who would much rather me buy/sell guitars than GFs.

Unless you're like me and go through them as fast as poop through a goose.

Which, I know, shameful.
 
Got a good one from tonight:

We were watching a TV music awards show (Canadian Junos) and I noted that a couple of guitarists were playing full-thickness archtop guitars, a Gibson and a Gretsch, and I compared to the PRS JA15.

My fiancee said "you just got your guitar for the quarter, so you'll have to wait!" (A PRS 305 got delivered Friday, which technically was the first day of the quarter, calendar-wise.)

So I responded with "so that means I can hunt down a JA15 on 1 July?"

I got a snicker...

Not sure if I actually got a green light, though.

Of course, the most sane response from you would have been to extend your hand in friendship and say, "This isn't going to work out, but let's part friends."

On the other hand, having been given the perfect opportunity to grant themselves freedom, guys will choose time and time again to submit.

Oops, gotta go, my wife is telling me it's time for me to run around in circles, slap myself on the butt, and shout "hooray!"

Les, I'm right there with you. It's like we are addicted to the feeling of when you buy a new guitar. Somehow, all will be right with the world if we just had that new guitar.
 
Two things come to mind when I think of what my Wife says about my guitars:

  • I generally get less grief from her when she says "ooh that one is pretty". This why my collection has many nice colors and tops.
  • The 2nd one is her attempt to describe to visitors of my guitar playing. She says it sounds like this .. "Imagine a Power drill speeding up and slowing down in a Goldfish Bowl"
My Wife is a good sport and allows me to hunt and collect within in reason.
 
;-) I once got in so much trouble with the wife for buying a piece of gear. A Mutron Phase II.I still I spent 120 bucks on it in 1973. That wasn't small change to us then. She never took into consideration that I was going out that weekend and make 150 bucks. I Sill have the pedal, I haven't had her for 40 yrs.... what does that say about me??....;-)

That you've got your priorities straight?
 
Whenever I buy a new guitar/amp, my wife smiles and takes the blame by saying, "I've created a monster." She bought me my first guitar in this iteration of my guitar life.
 
I'm extremely lucky NOW. That wife I spoke of has been long gone that 40 yrs. The second couldn't have cared less about my playing and gear, it just wasn't in her sphere of interest. My girl now is great, SHE is the one that bought my McCarty for me. I recently wanted a new practice amp, a very modest VOX AV-15. I told her that I might buy it. She actually went on the net and researched it herself, "Buy it, it's a good deal"...not many would do that. In the end I didn't get it due to other commitments that came up, but it's nice to know that nothing gets hidden, nothing is a surprise or a sneak in my world.

You're a lucky man! I've got it pretty good with mine, but not that good.
