So after two weeks of humidification I brings the J45 back to my guitar guy. He takes it outta the case, looks him over real good, makes a few noises and let's out a few "ahahas", glancing over his readers at me a few times. Then he slides it back in the case, takes off his readers and says..."guitars, cars, and women...sometimes there comes a point when it ain't worth sinkin any more money into em"

So I'll polish the frets, adjust the trussrod, shave the bridge and saddle, cleat the cracks, glue the binding, put on some new elixirs and appreciate whatever the wood box will give up. Clearly it knows a lot of stories, it just won't give em up as easily as other guitars will.

Right.
We never learn our lessons about cars and guitars, er, women, either, do we?

OK, I couldn't resist. "Why guitars are better than women."


  • Guitars don't get pregnant.
  • You can play your Guitar any time of the month.
  • Guitars don't have parents.
  • Guitars don't whine... unless you want them to.
  • You can share your Guitar with your friends.
  • Guitars don't care how many other Guitars you've played
  • Guitars don't care how many other Guitars you have.
  • Guitars don't care if you look at other Guitars.
  • Guitars don't care if you buy Guitar magazines.
  • You'll never hear, "Surprise, you are going to proud father of a new Guitar" unless you go out to buy one yourself.
  • If your Guitar is flat you can fix it.
  • Your Guitar doesn't care if you never listen to it.
  • Your Guitar won't care if you leave up the toilet seat.
  • You don't have to be jealous of the guy who works on your Guitar.
  • If you say bad things to your Guitar, you don't have to apologize before you play it again.
  • You can play your Guitar as long as you want and it won't get sore.
  • You can stop playing your Guitar as soon as you want and it won't get frustrated.
  • Your parents won't remain in touch with your old Guitar after you dump it.
  • Guitars don't get headaches.
  • Guitars don't insult you if you're a bad player.
  • Your Guitar never wants a night out with the other Guitars.
  • Guitars don't care if you're late.
  • You don't have to take a shower before you play your Guitar.
  • If your Guitar doesn't look good you can refinish it or get new parts.
  • You can play your Guitar the first time you meet it, without having to take it to dinner, see a movie, or meet its mother.
  • The only protection you have to wear when playing your Guitar is a decent thumb pick.
  • When in mixed company, you can talk about what a great time you had the last time you played your Guitar.
[h=3]and last, but not least:[/h]
  • If you decide to part with an old Guitar, you don't have to give up at least half of everything you own.

Here she is...a seven fret strummer at best. Smooth woody tone, not at all like the d50.

Sandy would look at a picture of Ginger and Marianne standing at the edge of the lagoon and comment "hey is that seaweed on the beach?"

Why guitars are better than women:

You don't have to explain to a guitar why you watch the Food Network
