How do you deal?

[LasagneFTW]

hi guys, just ordered my first real JP (got tired of borrowing my brothers), can't wait for it to get here (thanks pete!).

but my question was...

if you've ordered a guitar, what strategies do you employ to help take your mind off of the guitar you have to patiently wait for while its being made?

Random anonymous sex with multiple partners
or
Comfort in the knowledge that you will shortly be receiving the best production guitar your money can buy.

Other than that you'll pretty much be jonesing for a while

Borrow your brothers

Borrow your brothers

haha i would, but i have to do it when hes not around...hes invoked the "its mine you dont get to play it all the time, dont you have one on order?" rule

The open house is a nice distraction its pretty much smack in between the day i ordered my new HS Sterling and the guesstimated arrival time ... so it helps having something else to look forward to in between

When I ordered my EVH in 94, it took 8 1/2 months - nothing made me feel better during that wait. all worth it in the end, but hell at the time - good luck dude,

Welcome aboard!

From what I have noticed, to most people the wait isn't that bad until the last 2-3 weeks.... They they all seem to go batty

You could always stop in at a music store and pretend you are interested...hey I did that for 15 years

I especially like it when they tell you it will ship in a week, then wont return phone calls after 4 weeks have past!

That's why I'm now buying from Pete I'm already twiching for my Silo Bass!

Hey, anyone notice Devnor has 2 EB's on order at the same time?

Well you are! But that's OK since we all are too. You'll fit right in!

I tend to take the 3 to 4 month paper calendars (the months I will have to wait) to the shooting range and pretend to speed up time by blowing away the months.........but alas, it doesn't work. It is fun, so I go ahead and shoot up the rest of the year.....man, 2005 flew by......

 

[Big Poppa]

I think about Baseball, if that doesnt work there isw always Abe Vigoda naked.

 

[jazzbo jim]

Pretty funny BP, But if you're to get your mind OFF the guitar, shouldn't you be thinking about Pamela Lee naked?
