Thanks to my lovely lady.
 

 
I initially wanted a white one, but a few things made me change my mind.
 
 
1: I'm not sure how the white rubbed finish would have agreed w/ my supernaturally acid sweat.
2: I'm in a wood grain phase - I like finishes that let me see more of the wood grain.
3: Preferably, I wanted to buy from Sweetwater and they didn't have white ones any more.
 
I had started putting money aside for it by selling a few things I didn't need anymore but time was running and I think this particular model was a 2013 thing. I was seeing the stocks go down, and then the price dropped by $100... Since it was pretty much exactly what I wanted (50's neck, rubbed finish, no pickguard -and the black cover on the pickups means less aesthetic damage) I didn't want to miss the opportunity.
 
I don't like to order guitars but considering that no local store carried it, I would have had to order anyway. Might as well get it from Sweetwater, who'll put it through their 55 points inspection before sending it my way. :)

You and me both, Bill. I have had to fight to hang on to the ones I have. I would probably drop dead if I ever heard her even suggest I buy another.

I guess it helps that she's a musician. But honestly, not an hour goes by w/o me feeling absolutely blessed to have her in my life. I adore that woman - and not because she buys me stuff. She makes life magic.

All I got for my last girlfriend was a tambourine.
 
I think it was a fair trade.

No amount of musical instruments could ever come close to matching my very own little mermaid. ;)

Nice guitar too!
What kind of pickups does it have?  Are they active pickups?
