I just pulled the trigger on an orange 5120 and my wife doesn't know it, yet.

Is it a gift for her?

You're on your own here, Jim.

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

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...... It was a moment of weakness that you won't regret, no matter what punishment is inflicted on you.

Until 10/31/12?

Seems another round of Gretsch-itis is starting. 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...


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

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.

Jim,

I'll be happy to hang onto it for you until the fur settles. I'll PM you my shipping address.

Ship it to me first and I'll make sure the neck is straight before I send it on to Kira.

Whaddabunchanumpties! I luv ya. Yer all heart.

Too funny Jim. We need a like that last post button.

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

After that you're in like Flynn.
