Should I - shouldn't I

Waste of time asking me, isn't it?

I'm all for others having an equally shit, emotional and irrational time with their partners too so YES - buy it

You do the celebrated Axisus gambit - have the guitar sent to work, dismantle it, smuggle the parts home then announce that you are going to make something up from spare parts that you have lying around.

I'm off to fiverr to get some kid to write me a script that auto-Wows that every time it comes up.

The scam needs a better name, though. It should be called "The XXXX XXXXX" where XXXX XXXXX is the name of some famous dude who's done a similar thing in real life or fantasy.

Sell the wife, buy the guitar. Sell the guitar and buy a different guitar. 
Problem sorted. 
Just remember don't sell the guitar and buy the wife back. You'll never hear the end of it.

You can't afford it. 

Get a savings account. Save what you can afford. Buy a custom shop or refin L series. Call me old fashioned.

The thinline is not a Jag though is it? Whereas the Squier is a pretty darn close representation.

When I say I can't afford it, what I really mean is that I can afford it, but the wife doesn't agree. Better would be I can't justify it...

doesn't need to be a "real" jag, such things don't bother me, I am no purist. It just needs to be a damn cool offset. Which it is. Except for the pickups apparently.

Afford and justify are the same thing. I've been looking at getting another guitar (my 4th electric) but havent due to a son needing help with rent for a year (long story not his fault) and now I've saved the money the flat roof is leaking. 

The wife not agreeing is a different issue. Due to being old, low mortgage and a wife who earns more than me, we split the bills and we both buy what we want, but are adults about it. In the roof scenario my wife has just assumed she'd be paying for it and I'm buying a Gretsch. The guitar can wait,

Have you done it yet?

No. Much as like the look of the guitar I've been put off by some of the comments about how it sounds... I'm not up for having to muck about with pickups at the moment.
