OK, so I told the story in another thread. To make a long story short, I had been fighting the GAS for this big orange Gretsch 5120 for a while. The other day my wife and I went into GC while out shopping and she came up to me holding the Gretsch and said "I want you to buy this one!". I hadn't pointed it out to her, hadn't even mentioned it to her - she just came across it while walking around the store. She was completely in love with it and
insisted that I buy it! Hey, I love my wife dearly and I'm all about making her happy - so if that means buying a guitar that she really likes
(that I just happened to have been GAS'ing for), well, what kind of husband would I be if I said no???
She named it "Katie" - this is not only the first guitar of mine that she's ever named, it's the first guitar she's ever insisted upon me buying (rather than rolling her eyes like usual) - so there's a big serving of mojo poured all over it right from the start!
