Let me start by saying my wife is awesome. She actually hears "tone" and recognizes when an instrument inspires me. It's cool.
This year I spent Valentine's Day in the hospital - actually it was this whole week. Nothing big or worrisome, I have epilepsy and I had to do an EEG. I was in bed for the whole week with wires attached to my head under 24 hour video surveillance. Our special V-Day dinner date was McDonald's she brought in, lol.
Anyway, I got home today around 1pm, and there was a big box in the foyer. It was addressed to me, but I didn't order anything. Hmmmm, what could it be???? Well, it was obviously a guitar, but was it a good one???
Yes it was!!!!
A while back I needed a new car. In order to beef up my down payment I decided to sell a few of my PRS'. One of them was my Faded Vintage Yellow Paul's Guitar. I was sad, but the shop offered me REALLY good money for it, so it sailed away to a new owner. Over time I missed it, but the PG hangs on to a nice premium. So, I didn't miss it enough to drop the cash on a replacement.
Here's what the box held....
A 2015 Paul's Guitar Trem in Honey!! My wife knows I loved that guitar in yellow and she managed to find one!!! Honey is a cool color - it's yellow, but not yellow. The FVY had a red back. This Honey guitar has a natural back - I dig that way more. Honey seems more like "faded vintage yellow" than Faded Vintage Yellow did!!
Old PG for color reference between FVY....
New PG so you can see Honey - the difference is subtle....
Talk about an AWESOME wife, a killer surprise, and a neat thing to find after a week in a bed!!!
The top on this one if GORGEOUS. I was shocked that it wasn't a 10.
