OK. I couldn't wait. I had to unleash the beast.
Oh. My. God.
First of all, the roasted neck is sick. I told myself if I got one with a roasted neck, that I would wait until I found one like this. The online pics from Sweetwater did not come close to capturing the figuring. It's super dark too. I can't take a picture that does it justice. It's stunning. I'm stunned. Just consider me stunned.
It's so much more than I hoped it would be. I wasn't even sure which color to get. When the missus saw the turquoise, she said "that's the one." So I thought about it for a couple of weeks. When I bought it, my hand actually froze over the "purchase" button. She said "C'mon! What are you waiting for? Get it!" I changed/upgraded jobs a couple of months ago, and this was sort of a present for myself - which as you other dads can attest to, we rarely get these kinds of things.
There's no way I can plug it in tonight. I'll never go to bed, or go to work in the morning. But tomorrow night, we'll open a new bottle of bourbon, and have a play for a few hours. I can't wait.
