Is it a gift for her? :wink:

You're on your own here, Jim. :twisted:

Maybe she'll think Halloween is coming soon and you can disguise it as a pumpkin. :lol:

No, it isn't a gift for her. I've been drooling over this model for a long time. And I just couldn't help myself. There it was, hanging on the wall at the guitar store just mere blocks up the street from me. I only went in to get a couple of thumb picks and a cable. Honest. And there it was. And I fell in love with it.
But I think it's going to be OK. I put it on layaway.

Jim,

Beg for forgiveness...... :mrgreen: It was a moment of weakness that you won't regret, no matter what punishment is inflicted on you. :lol:

Seems another round of Gretsch-itis is starting. :lol: Congrats!

I bought a used 6128T- 1957 reissue last weekend, arrived on Wednesday. Looks like the Harrison reissue at 1/3rd the cost.

What , tell her it's a gift for her? Then say. You don't want it? Can I have it? Might work in an alternate universe.

Just get her something she really wants... No, it won't work out even, for instance, I just bought a new toaster pickup, my wife just got a new car...
:shock: :roll:

'Course, I should be good for at least a couple of new Ricks now...

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

As a friend once told me a lesson he learned in the Marines, "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission." I think that applies here.

Jim: Perhaps it is time to write a song for Valentine's Day. :)
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm

Jim, repeat after me: "Honey, isn't it time we remodeled the kitchen?"

After that you're in like Flynn.
