A Question For Everyone..

[SongMan]

OK, why do we get married again? :huh:

I am single and this thread makes me want to stay that way.  

[sighmeup2003]

Although my new LV-03RE is my first steel string, it is truly my '3rd' guitar.
I knew it would be a tough sale with the better half... Solution?...

My new Dining room set arrives tomorrow. ;)

The good far out weighs any sacrifice.  At least in my case it does.

David men need to be controled or we would be kaos,thus a wife. ;)  

[sacredground]

Yes, Grasshopper...I have seen into this great mystery. :o

Verily: some guitars are to be strummed, while some are to be picked, and others may be used in open tunings. It is written that some are for recording, whilst others are for travel.

Hope that clears everything up! :D   :(

Well, I think the fundmental flaw in your approach involves telling her about the guitar BEFORE you actually get it......you see, I'm a firm believer in the old, "it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission" philosophy.  And truthfully, sleeping outside isn't really all that bad.... :P  

[poki]

don't worry about your other half, just keep a well stocked dog house :unsure:

I have learned the answer...

My wife plays piano. Thankfully we only have room for one upright grand in our house.

She started playing the flute about six months ago. I saw my opportunity...

Since then I have bought 3 flutes for her from EBay. "We" are trying to find the "perfect" flute for her. When we do, we will sell all of the rest.

She now sees the logic behind my guitar purchases.

I am pretty sure I will never find the "perfect" guitar. ;)

ps. Do you see the LSV30 in my signature? I bought that after she started playing flute. The flute and nylon string guitar "sound wonderful together".

I am thinking that the new baritone and our piano would be a teriffic combination....

As I posted in another thread, here's what not to say...

When asked why I needed 3 guitars, I couldn't think of anything witty or wise to say, so without thinking I blurted out, "Well, we have 3 kids."

Believe me I'm still hearing about that stupid comment

Works fine until

You come home to an echo

or

these words from the immortal Stevie Wonder really ring home

Maybe your baby done made some other plans.

Why did you have to go making sense?   :lol:

Kind of makes you think what's really important when you put it like that.  I know folks were just kidding, but trust is central to a healthy marriage.

A long time ago, right after I got my first CD player, I decided that my Epicure 150 speakers were not doing the new DDD cds justice. I found a used set of Klipsch Cornwalls (large ultra-efficient speakers) that I wanted to get (I got a great price on them). I told her and this was basically how the conversation went:

Wife: But your old speakers sound good.
Me: But these will sound so much better.
W: You don't need a new pair of speakers.
M: I know, but I really want them.
W: We can't afford it.
M: You know that new dinette you wanted, how 'bout if we get the speakers and the dinette.
W: OK

Conversation last year (after I had recently gotten an LV-03BW and Rob was holding an OM-03K for me):

M: I want to get another guitar.
W: Why do you need another guitar, you just got one. (She mercifully left out the part about how I have several guitars and can't play any worth beans, there are some lines we just do not cross!)
M: I know, but I want another one. This is a different size guitar and is Koa wood, like Hawaii. (We'd just been there)
W: But you already have several guitars.
M: But this is a great deal and Larrivee is out of Koa and who knows when they will get some more.
W: But you have so many guitars already. (To my credit, I did not point out that I did not have as many guitars as I intend to have)
M: Yeah, I know I don't need one, but I want it. OK, how about if I sell one and replace it with this?
W: OK

That's how it works.  :)

I could have said the secret to a happy marriage is separate checking accounts but the Stevie Wonder thing popped into my head instead.

Very good question! It just so happens I was in Las Vegas and I took my wife to a Kenny Loggins concert and the guy had about 10 guitars on stage and he played them.....and my wife looked at me and said, "WOW!!! I guess you do need several guitars!!!""""

"What a woman!!" huh???

Now, if I told you, then it no longer would be secret, now, would it?

[brad6tn]

Another answer!!!

This answer is from a friend....

He told his wife, "You know honey? A lot of guys lust after other women and flirt and some even sleep with them..... ME? I just lust after guitars... give me ONE woman and many guitars and I'm a happy man!!!

[thomgs1]

Well, each guitar offers a slightly different experience, and that makes it fun.
