My wife just called me DON jr by text

My wife is traveling on buisness , and in her hotel room she decided to look at our email account. She saw and read email from a gentleman I have dealt with before in buying guitars. Other day I received email pics and all on made in Japan 59 tokai love rock from him , and a great price. I love made in Japan guitars their quality far exceeds Gibson and fender and with a price that is affordable. Do I need it no I own many guitars do I want it yes why because I'm gearhead and it is honey burst and I like 59 necks and specs on les Paul's.my wife's text was don jr explain this email, deal was I'd only buy one guitar a year from now on and that would be around my birthday, and I already bought a prs custom 22 for our twelve year old. Maybe I'll just try and deny any collusion between guitar salesman and me , I love my wife's sense of humor.

I don't think that should count toward your quota.

At least that's how I would justify it!

I think you need to test it much before giving it. Make sure it's in tune, safe, etc. Much testing.

I might know a Russian who can turn you on to some fine triangular gut buckets Donny Jr. They may even have secret intell on you know who.

Really poor satire, but I try.

You deserve a new guitar?




ps...also great that the kid shares your love of guitars. Having something you will always share together is a wonderful thing.
