Just Do it! |

What would you do if your wife came home with A Ferragamo bag and a pair of Pumps |

I went with no but you may make your own choice. (duh!)
But consider....
....Can you afford to buy it with HALF of everything you own right now? |

i think you should post this poll over on the "happy marriage" forum too and then compare the final results.
how many guitars can you fit in your station wagon and still have room for you to sleep?
with that said: get it!! |

Location: Indiana | I have passed up many guitars/basses that I really would have liked to have had just because I could not afford them. I got over it. I have also sold some that I wish I hadn't. I find that harder to deal with. For the record, I am single. If it were me I would not buy it until I could afford it. That's just me.

Keep your eyes on Ebay and and the Police scanner in Pheonix. |

...is to take the bait and figure out just what the instrument is. W2 was talking Nationals and I'm sure he hangs around a lot of premier instrument holders.
Then there is the "Q" factor? |

Ask Cliff if he remembers what happened to his favorite guitar when his wife thought (knew) he loved it more than her..... :p :D :p :D
Also, I wouldn't necessarily take advice from a bunch of middle-aged men you met on the internet. We are often delusional about the state of our own relationships and grossly un-qualified to give advice about anyone else's. |

Location: Up North | Seeing Dave's website of his collection, I would have to guess this guitar's price is in the 5 figures, or he wouldn't hesitate to buy it.
It must be a beauty, buy it and sell off some of your Martins. |

| If he buys it and SWMBO dumps him he's going to lose half of his collection anyway......
What kind of idiot asks the kind of idiots who hang around here for advice?
I didn't vote - one way or the other I'd be voting to make someone unhappy. |
