...on auction for $169!!

These are really helpful.....especially those who do not want to be cured from GAS!

I have a friend who has very expensive guitars custom made for him in the US and then has to hide them so his wife can't find them. When she does (invariably) find out he says, "this is my mid-life crisis. I could be out chasing girls!"

Hows this for bizarre guys!
My wife actually likes to see me building them...and comes up with the excuses for me.

"That will look fantastic hanging on the music room wall"
"You can hand them on to the boys as an heirloom, they would be so proud"

And this is from HER mouth!!!!

[Andyport]

As a footnote though.....and to her defense....
I have only built the one kit, and about to start the second.
Maybe after a few more her attitude may change.
Should get in now while the going is good!!

I've been thinking about how to connive getting another kit for a few weeks. Because, after almost finishing one, I think I can do better next time. And because I have mostly enjoyed the experience of making my first. It will definitely be a hard sell. I will probably have to sell one of my other guitars to justify it, or make one for someone else. But it is my goal to make another.

...or have more kids Andy?

I'm with Andy in that my wife encourages it too...I have a bit of a backlog of kits to build, which admittedly, I probably have to complete before I can buy more (they aren't pitbull kits, but the next ones will definitely be and I am definitely a Wudtone convert after the kit I have nearly finished).

She actually bought me a Tele kit for my last birthday, and then took me out and bought me an Epiphone SG Pro.

My wife does have a collection of shoes large enough (+300) that I have had to build furniture to accommodate them, so I guess she thinks me acquiring a few guitar kits (and guitars) a year is acceptable.

Now I just have to get better at playing the guitars

"But I have all this Wudtone left over! After the money I spent buying that stuff, I need to get another kit so I can use it up!"
