I’m talking GUITARS, what were you thinking!? :laugh:
So I’m not an impulsive guy when it comes to buying stuff. I tend to shop long and hard before I buy something. Most of the time it works out pretty well, but this time it bit me in the butt...at first. :wink:
I’d found two or three Paul’s Guitars in FBJ with a flame top and a Brazzy boards that I liked. I was having a hard time picking WHICH one I wanted! Truly like picking puppies! So I finally had one I kept coming back to one at Guitar Maverick. One night my wife said “Why haven’t you bought it yet!?” :laugh: So I filled out the account info on the Guitar Maverick's site and went to bed planning to call in the morning to buy it. In the morning I had an email from JD at Guitar Maverick welcoming me and asking if he could help me. I replied that I wanted to buy the FBJ Paul’s he had and asked for a good time to call. He wrote back IT HAD JUST SOLD! :bawling:
WHAAAT!? It can’t be!!! I was crushed...
But it was on me, I waited to long... JD offered to find me another but I REALLY wanted that one. I took some time off from looking...
So fast forward a couple of months... As you know, GAS only goes into remission, it's never cured! :laugh: I was looking at used P22 in the classified on another site guitar and JD shoots me a pm and tells me it was owned by the same guy that bought the Paul’s and OBTW – he might sell the Paul’s I WANTED - to buy a different guitar from JD. Turns out “Philip” and I have the same taste in Guitars!
So yesterday morning I couldn’t sleep and was looking around on eBay – there it was! I couldn’t believe it, but when I saw the sellers user name I knew it was MY guitar! THIS TIME I didn’t BLINK and a few emails later it was a DONE DEAL. :beer:
So it took a couple of months and was the looooong way around the block but in the end the story has a
HAPPY ENDING. :biggrin: Right now the guitar is on a FedEx plane headed my way!
NGD TOMORROW! :dancing:
