Wives and guitars...

[Spivonious]

Years ago I showed my wife a pic of a BCR KK Wartribe. She liked it and gave the ok to get one.

A few days later a handmade Beast pops up on ebay. I backdoor it for an insane price. My wife thinks it looks cool and not boring like "Fenders and Gibsons".

We then go to NAMM and she sees a red BCR Widow and thinks it's the cutest guitar in the world. Pops up on ebay a few weeks later, she tells me I have to buy it. OK!

A Wartribe pops up on ebay at a good price, she tells me to get that one too.

A few years before that there's a guy selling a old school Ibanez Destroyer and Rocket Roll on ebay. I tell her I like both and she tells me to email him and ask him to give a deal on both. Works like a charm.

Now I'm up to 9 guitars and a bass. She finally said she thinks I have enough guitars. I can't complain.

I have contemplated using the SRV response when they say "You love those things more than you love me", but I figure telling her a guitar has never fucked me over isn't gonna restore domestic tranquility.

Lol, you made me think of the music video for Cold Shot:

What are you like 14? Get a fuckin' job and move out(dumbass). You may also find it's easier to bring women home because they stopped thinking you were like Norman Bates

Pfft! I moved back in to help repair my parents' financial crisis. And yes, I do have a fucking job. I've been in my current job for over 7 years. Dumbass .

Hehe, after I posted the link, I realized that that video really captures the essence of this thread Guitars all over the house--even on hangers in the closet--and an angry wife. By the way, I want a guitar coffee table like that and a guitar-shaped cake for my birthday.

My fave was when she got mad and grabbed the guitars away to bust 'em, and he just reaches back behind the couch for another one, like even this scene is old hat! He didn't bat an eye, look up, or change is expression a bit!

Yeah, that's a great scene! But this is also where the video doesn't really apply to the present discussion, since we probably wouldn't take it that way

I have a Inferno Red DK2M. About 6 months after I bought it, I was really gassing for a SLATQH

When I was looking for SLATQH, I found two, a Cabo Blue one on Ebay, and a red one at a dealer. I asked her which one she thought I should get.

"I don't really like the blue one. But don't you already have a red guitar?"

A Double Decker? Why not go for a triple decker?

Guess which floor you will be on, honey.

That's right, you will be Lucky Pierre. My treat to you.

You'll be on the road Dumbass, I'll be driving the bus.

Wow, I haven't watched that video since it originally aired on Friday Night Videos back in 1984(?). Nice to see it again.

My wife, being a shoe fiend, doesn't give me too much shit about the guitars that I buy. I've pointed out to her that she has pairs of boots that she hasn't even worn once, whereas all seven of my guitars, my bass, and my ukulele get some play time.

However, because the home office/music room will be converted to my daughter's room when we wean her off the boobie, I've been trying to keep the number of guitars (and the amount of space they take up) constant at least. Which means "buy one, sell one, maybe even two".

What, does she have a night job at a black metal club or something?
