Topic: string of good luck- conclusion

After hitting on a lottery ticket last week, I paid some bills, did something nice for people that stuck with me when I was at my worst. Took my wife on a shopping spree at Macy`s. She and my friends told me to buy myself something nice. I went to guitar center to get a telecaster today. Then I tried 2 gretches, one solid and one hollow. Then I went to the acoustic room to look at martins. I also tried an ovation and a dobro. Also tried out this awful looking Gibson acoustic. It played and sounded sweet. Then I tried out a chinese telecaster. Long story short, I now have a 1959 gibson LG1. More guitar than I expected to get. My wife said that I will never get a chance to do this again, just do it. That`s what I ended up getting. The last thing I ever expected. Pictures soon.

Happy NGD JoeyX3 - You deserve a treat and a '59 Gibby sounds like a good one. Looking forward to seeing some pics and hearing you pick her.

When I get my hearing back, I will play it more. Or at least show it off on skype.

Good for you buddy.  I'm happy you get a little something you want out of life.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: string of good luck- conclusion

I still cant figure out how to post pictures. On my facebook page  is the ad for the actual guitar I bought.  It fit like a glove. Didn`t need any time to get used to it. It was right from the first time I tried. My wonderful wife talked me into getting it. I think ill keep her. The wife too.

Re: string of good luck- conclusion

Aint it a great feeling when it all works out good? Enjoy your new guitar, you deserve it.

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".
