I told my wife I special-ordered a new EBMM guitar.

Thanks for making me happy about being single

Glad I could be of service!

On the bright side, here in Canada unless there's an extreme circumstance, then everything is split 50:50

On the not so bright side, she'd take that literally and cut the guitar in half, give me half and beat me with the other half!!!!
.

That means she'd get half your EBMM photo library.

As Jongitarz says, "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission."

Congrats!

Why don't you just stand up and say

"Yeah, I just spent that money on a new guitar. A g*d d*mn nice f**kin' guitar at that. This is my f**kin house, I got a g*d d*mn job and I'll spend my f**kin money any g*d d*mn way I please. Now get the f**k outta here and go make me some g*d d*mn chicken."

I think the procedure is called a rectalguitarectomy. However, wearing pants only provides a modest form of protection

I'm pretty lucky I think. My wife only really complains about not having the storage space for more guitars. BUT there's a secret weapon you guys can use that is GUARENTEED to work. it worked for me very well:

buy a motorcycle. a scary one that looks like you're in the full throughs of a serious mid life crisis, trying to turn back the clock to your mid-twenties... (the Buell Lightning works well for this - or at the least a Kawasaki Ninja). then make a point of getting an INSANELY expensive jacket and helmet set-up, maybe some kevlar lined gloves, and a REALLY obnoxious dust cover for the bike with some kind of tribal tattoo design on it to match your jacket and helmet - THEN park your car in the driveway, and start parking the bike where the car used to be in your garage. make a point of telling your wife every single dollar you spend on it - like you're proud that your spending your kid's college fund on your recapturing on your youth. this line works really well: "honey, check out this helmet! I had it shipped from japan. it was kind of expensive... but it was worth it. see, it has this little spoiler on the back to divert wind away from your head. don't use the credit card for a while, though, OK? love you!"

once completed properly, she will NEVER say anything about your guitar collection again - once you sell the bike that is....

 

[Larry]

wow thats a really thought out plan proably will work too

Ripley's scary man, though I gotta say dude sounds like it worked.

But he's also from Monster Island as well, so what would you expect.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

HA! I needed the motorcycle to flee from the daily atomic monster attacks!

(seriously, though - and the guys who know this can back me up - nothing scares the average girlfriend/wife/old lady like a sportbike. Harley's don't do it; too easy to write off as a passing phase that you'll get over. if you really want impact, show up in the driveway with something that only runs on sake and is able to hit 220MPH in 3rd gear. ALL guitar concerns just fly out the window.... they'll kick you out of the house for a $1500 guitar, but not for a motorcycle - because you might drive it to the girlfriend's house that they don't know about. aahhh... psychology.)

I used to know this guy who came to a jam session I used to go to. He had 2 guitars, a 335 and a Strat, and i got the impression that his wife Christine god fed up of him gigging and going to jams all the time. So he got a clear pickguard for his strat and put a glossy picture of his wife under it! He also has a custom truss rod cover plate for his 335 made, and called this guitar 'Christine 2'. Whether it worked, who knows!

I find that if women question you buying guitars, tell them they are like shoes. They then get it!

If I were her, I'd learn to ride and that would be the end of your "your" bike! Then I'd learn to play guitar and it would be ALL MINE! Bwaahhaaahhahhaaaa!
Oh, check that. Thom already has a bike (not a Harley) AND a guitar collection, soon to be enhanced by a lovely Y2D. I'd better get busy...
