A gift from my son

shugz · August 2015

Just wanted to share, hope you'll indulge me

My son was born last Sunday afternoon and is turning out within a week to be a very fine, upstanding guitar-orientated chap already. I left the room for a second on Saturday evening and upon my return, this was waiting for me:

It's amazing what 'the kids' will get up to these days.....

Thank you Alistair, what a boy.

Cheers
Hugh

I already liked this on "the other FB", but in any case, you have an awesome son (and, presumably wife).

Timeless bit of gassing, that

(and congrats! obviously..!)

Wow!!!!

johnswiss · August 2015

That is superb. I've got another coming in march (child). Im more likely to walk in the room and find a shipping label attached to an existing guitar!

What a boy!

I've got three sons and have never been bought anything like that.

Congratulations on the new Baby day and the new guitar day! Showed my wife this........ She said, "yeah, don't expect the same treatment" looks like we won't be trying for kids anytime soon lol

Very cool Hugh! You need to school Alistair in the value of Bigsby's on ES's though ... he's young, he'll learn

timmysoft · August 2015

This makes me want to have kids!

Was I too hasty getting a vasectomy?? Knowing MrsLostSon, probably not.

Happy NGD and NBabyDay have a Wow.

It's strange seeing this as I've often fancied adopting a child, so you know...

BluesyDave · August 2015

A boy to make any Father proud. Congrats!.......and good gas btw

usedtobe · August 2015

He sounds like a keeper!

Nunogilberto · August 2015

What a fantastic present!

darcym · August 2015

didn't you just have one of these up for sale ?

this was what I was looking for before you helped me source a vintage one

NorthernPaul · August 2015

Congrats on both counts, lovely present

shugz · August 2015

Thanks very much all. Baby Al doing great and was already the luckiest chap with him. That said, was genuinely taken aback with his beautiful gift

Matt, slightly long story. This is the guitar i was 'selling'. It actually belonged to a close chum and i said I'd help him move it on. Then i went and played it......! Apparently i 'went on about it' quite a bit so my lovely yet devious wife and son combo did the rest and it's now here with me.

The playing is rougher than a tortoise's underarm but here it is:

Cheers and thanks to all for the kind words in this thread

Hugh

Brilliant stuff. I love a cherry 335.

Howdy, Stranger!
