Don't feel too bad about buying "my" guitar (I'm sure you feel just awful about that anyway, hehe).... We're so broke right now after my husband's bout in the hospital with pneumonia (no health insurance--yikes), that I am just thankful we can still afford to do the California trip this year! Hopefully I'll get to play somebody's 600-series guitar there, and get the urge to buy one out of my system until we get all our bills paid and can afford one!
