Help!

Does anyone have any "good" hiding places to keep their toys in (men, you know what I mean)? I've run out of places to hide my balls. The next UPS delivery may need to be (I hate to say it) re-scheduled.

Need help fast for good reliable "hiding" information. Unique places that have been time tested (mostly by married men), they're the best at this!

Let's keep the women off this thread too if we can - this could be our downfall if we don't!

Men united for non-disclosure of balls.

just before the UPS guy arrives tell your wife your mom is dropping unannounced to visit, your wife would jet, and when she comes back tell her she bought you a guitar as a present. yay for mother in laws

+1 Rob. Tell her you sold some gear to fund this purchase.

Or, under the bed, in a closet next to your others....

I would just take your balls out of your wife's purse (your non-EBMM ones) and say, "Hi honey, look what i got! it keeps me sane in an insane world!" And go on with your life. Works for me.


p.s. - i'm just playing around. that's what we wish we could say.

Honestly, my wife says that as long as the "bills are paid, do whatever." try that one on her.

What you do is buy a bunch of empty cases and then start filling them up.

I love this thread. I think that you are mistaken in keeping the women of the thread. Women here understand and may give you the best places....THey are double agents though.....

My girlfriend just moved in with me last week ... and I have the age old "honey where can I keep my shoes?" dilemma. I've cleared out most of my closets for her with the understanding that there's going to be a guitar in every room, amps in pieces in the basement, and a good ole' ball collection next to the tv.

We're both happy and call it even, problem solved :)

Bury them in the back yard for a few months and then "dig a garden" and "discover" the "treasure" in your back yard.....;)

Make sure you wrap them up good though....

I have about reached maximum density of guitars as well, and I only have 2 electrics, a bass and an acoustic. Seriously, I would love to get another, but I don't know where I would put the thing. The others are pretty much out in the open in my bedroom as it is. Maybe I should just get one and figure it out later. ;)

Where's Mike Greene when you need him? His reply to this question was a classic!

Just put on your big boy pants and tell her you're getting another guitar. And you could always go for "it's easier to beg forgivness than ask permission..."

Actually I'm glad my wife is so understanding of my "sickness" as she calls it when I tell her that I "need" another one since I just sent an email to Pete this morning for a quote on an Axis SS I've been itching for...

Good luck bud!
