Should be here Monday!
No idea why I am so excited?
This will be an office guitar, replacing a fine Alvarez D30 I sold yesterday.
Been playing for 45 years and already have my dream guitars, however, I'm actually struggling to remain aloof with my emotions on this.
Kind of cracks me up.
Reminds me of the story-
Winnie the Pooh, was asked " Pooh, what's your favorite thing in the world?"
Pooh started to reply eating honey of course, however, he realized --
That while eating honey was great, there was that moment, just before you took the first taste. That moment was his favorite thing in the world!
I had a wonderful friend in the early 90's who I played and learned a ton of stuff that took my playing to the next level. Joe had a Martin D-18, and a D4-NT that defined acoustic guitar to me, and I had a pawn shop $75 Lyle (I think) laminate with a brass nut that served me well.
With two kids and bills, I never thought I would ever own a guitar of that quality.
In 1998 I got my Martin D-18, and then the electrics I loved USA Tele, USA Stratocaster plus, Hobby Les Paul. Still have them.
Over the years I've went back to Acoustic and got the Gretsch I wanted, an awesome OMI Dobro Hound Dog, and my current favorite a Washburn anniversary limited edition Parlor that is beyond any expectations I could dream of.
Now, I feel like the incoming Guild is my first guitar!
So the time, "Just before I taste the honey" will be treasured, and shared with you.
