My wife is amazing (NGD)

What's Hot

There has been a large box wrapped up next to the Christmas tree the last few days.  My four year old has been wanting to get Daddy a guitar so I was thinking that maybe they had got me a Les Paul Jr with all the recent deals.

I opened the box this morning and got this:

It is absolutely lovely.  The neck is lovely as well.  One of the best necks I've played.  Just as well I like it.  I would have had a very upset 4 year old if I'd wanted to send it back.

    What a christmas present 
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    That is brilliant - big Wow :)

    Got to say I'm amazed at Gibson's QC though - how the hell did those two gouges in the top get past them? ;)

    Wonderful

    I'd reward her with something really nice- like a new steam iron

    Might actually get some time to play it later.  I had a brief play this morning, but I've been setting up gadgets, putting batteries into toys, working out how to extract other toys from the Fort Knox packaging etc.

    You've obviously done a great parenting job thus far ... a 4yo buying daddy a guitar ... makes me want to have kids all over again.

    Having trouble posting images here?  This might help.

  • Congrats! (on both the wife and the fiddle)

    Just out of curiosity, do these resonate louder than a solid body LP?
