So true. My wife didn't warm up to my buying a Rickenbacker at first. She finally did once she saw it in person. Same goes with the fretless 4003. Recalcitrant until she saw it for herself (and heard it). Ironically though she really didn't want me to sell my Stingray, even though I never played it when we were together, even just dating... Inexplicable. Finally I ABed them for her and she gave me her blessing to unload it.wints wrote:Sometimes better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission...

This is still the best idea of them all!mike_parks wrote:Years ago we had a customer come into the store and put a down payment on a Les Paul.. he came in faithfully each week and paid a small bit.
After the guitar was paid off he brought in an envelope addressed to himself and an official looking letter that read:
"Congratulations, you are the winner of our grand prize.. A brand new Les Paul!... please come in and pick it up at your convenience etc" and then mailed it home
The next day his wife received the letter and was so excited that she called him at work, picked him up, and drove him to the store, she was all smiles when they entered and they happily took the LP home!

You just have to be carefully selective of who you marry. If you aren't 100% positive about someone you are thinking of marrying, it's better to stay single.paologregorio wrote:Yep.kennyhowes wrote:Nice to be single sometimes.
