My wife surprised me this morning with an incredible birthday present. She told me my birthday card was in the front room where I've moved all my equipment, well I walk in and see the card on a new guitar stool. I take the card and check it out in my new stool thinking this is pretty cool. Then she asks me when I moved the hangers for my guitar. I had recently moved them up to make space on the wall.

Well I look up and there is a trans-red flame top EVH hanging next to my Petrucci and BD Silo. :eek: :eek: :eek:

You could have knocked me over with a feather. I had walked into the room and didn't even see it hanging there. Holy SH*T!!! :D

I'm still in shock at this point. I figure I was making out good with the new stool, this completely blew me away. I had three hangers mounted on the wall, the spare waiting for the Y2D Morse. I couldn't believe my eyes. Anyhow, I'll get pictures of it up ASAP.

Sorry all you guys out there, I have the best wife around...
 
Cool bro, real cool. Congrats, and give her a hug and a kiss, she deserves it...any chance of getting your wife to call my wife...

In exchange for my new Sterling? Sign me the f*ck up! Except for the jewelry and flowers once a week...not very economic!

Happy birthday and think about the birthday present for your wife:-)))

Damn! Does she happen to have a single sister... that's awesome dude, I'd flip if that happened to me.
 
Man, that is awesome. My wife has surprised me with things before. Just make sure you keep the "honey do" list to a minimum and write the next song for her on that axe! :cool:
