Over $4,000.00 ooops! Don't tell the wife....

I posted my NGD in the thread Arrived!! a few days ago.

I saw this amazing top that was PS grade for sure, but sold as WL. I know people say this all the time and it bugs me, but this time it was for real. I was mesmerized!!!!

So mesmerized by the top in fact, that I as a true PRS expert, yeah I said it, F'ed up on the top color!!!

In the ad it did not mention the color and when I spoke to the owner, he THOUGHT it was kind of a charcoal.

I should have known it was Obsidian, again I am an encyclopedia of PRS knowledge.

The BIG problem is I ALREADY HAVE AN OBSIDIAN WL CUSTOM 24!!!!

My wife would blow her head off if she knew I spent all that money on something SO similar to what I already have. Frankly I am very upset with myself!

The GOOD NEWS IS: my other one is Obsidian Smokeburst and looks different enough that to the non PRS expert is a whole different color.

Oops!!!!! Never hurts to have two!

If you were a DJ you’d have to buy two of everything.

This is why I have tricked my wife into believing that I am color blind. It’s easy. Just wear different color socks a couple times a week.

My 5th purple guitar is out on a truck for delivery today...

You have to have a second one to finish the set if you break a string. It’s professionalism! The show must go on!


This is also why, during good times, you buy the most comfortable couch you can find.

OMG! I remember when not sleeping in the same bed was a bad thing.

My grandchildren would think your’e hip.

Just wear different color socks a couple times a week.

I call that “Tuesday”. As an added bonus, most of my socks have profanity on them, too. A mismatch means conveying 2x the snarky message of the average Tuesday.

Its a stunning looking and sounding guitar

Don't stand them next to each other while the wife is around - problem solved.

 

[Tonart]

Never let a screw up go to waste....as the saying goes

 

[NoisyDante]

Wife: don’t you already have that one?
The guitars:

 

[GuitarJammin]

I have two blue fade finishes....Never thought about it being a problem. Unless you ask Sergio that is...lol.

 

[AaeCee]

Yeah, and 'Obsidian' is so much fun to say!

Oops!!!!! Never hurts to have two!

It's the first rule of government spending. Why buy one when you can have two at twice the price. Lol.

In the prepper world the rule is "Two is one and one is none!"

You really only have one guitar in this case

there’s a great crunk song with a couplet about accidentally buying the same sunglasses twice:
