Yes it is a BIG word that's why even though she said $1000 I want to keep it under just for the sake of things I can say see I kept it under just for you :) haha |

Some years ago I looked at a camera , a Voigtlander Bessa L with a 15 mm 4.5 Heliar , I said , " I do n`t have an Ultra -Wide " , and She said " Go fer it ".. so I did ..
some time ago I rambled about the virtues of said camera , when She said " leave me alone " .. I remarked that I had purchased it , `cuz She told me it was `kay , .. the reply was " I did n`t know that you would buy it " ..
Careful my friend .. Women are .. ehr .. " special " :)

| A tip: Always buy guitars of the same color. When you sneak a new one into the house, she won't know the difference for some time. When she finally does, you can say, "Oh this? No, I've had this one for a while." |

Location: New Hampshire | So no ones commented on the 6868AX model? I take it its a step up from the 1778TX and I like the new england burst color as well. |

Location: Miami | Can't compare the sound of any O with the sound holes on both sides and without the textured paint. I won't put down any one's gits, but the 1778T has a sound like no other guitar.
That being said, I have a pewter 1778T (USA made) I will be selling for the simple reason that the pewter (unlike the black and the red) came with a regular sized neck. The black and red came with thinner necks which I unfortunately cannot do without!
If you're interested in the pewter, let me know. Don't spend $1000 for a smaller sound. Ask the other Elite T owners. The T sounds better than guitars several times its price. |

You're not even married yet and she's giving you "permission" to buy a guitar ???
I have a feeling you've just seen the tip of the iceberg. I would run to the wheelhouse and steer the titanic hard right before it's too late. Good luck. |

But this also might be why I am Old and Alone, and associating with similarly 'Old and Alone' females.
(but I digress)
"So no ones commented on the 6868AX model? I take it its a step up from the 1778TX and I like the new england burst color as well."
Just because something Costs More does not necessarily mean that it is a Step Up.
Also, I would consider a used guitar while I was looking. Someone else will have taken the time to break it in, and worn a large percentage of the 'new' cost off of the price tag.
A new guitar does come with a warranty, but how often do you use a warranty?
6868AX and 1778TX are different guitars, so that is total personal preference.
But that New Wingland Burst in Purdy. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | I LOVE newlyweds. They come into the shop, I put the most expensive guitar into the guy's hands, and she says, "Oh Honey, let's buy it! I WANT you to have it." A year later, the same people come in and she says, "Come on Honey, let's go. You don't NEED another guitar." |
