Oh how I would sit the with my nose to the sound hole and take deep breaths. My wife thinks I am a nutt, and she is right. I know how it is to wait for a package. Every vehicle sounds like the UPS truck that day. Oh the anticipation. It will be worth the wait. Bill | ||

Kind of a mixture of a forest and a body shop. Also....get to Guitar Center right when they open the doors and head right to the acoustic room. Ooo Ooo that smell !!!! Can't you smell that smell !!! | ||

Joined: July 2005 Posts: 69 Location: Massachusetts | Oh this is so sick... lol. This is my first acoustic guitar group. Suddenly a whole new world has opened up for me. People with longer nails on one hand. People who understand GAS can't be cured with a Tums. People who love the smell of guitar wood. After a hard day at work, I would detour by the GC and just sit in their guitar room taking in the smell. surreptitiously bringing sound holes up to my face and deeply breathing in.... Ahhhh During my divorce, I practically lived in that room... | ||
