I posted on here a while back to do the Lunch Reports because I had plans to get a G&L, and there is some cross pollination between here and the Heritage forum (longtime Heritage guy here). Anyway, kids and family stuff got in the way and my second child turns one-year-old in a little over a week so you can guess what I've been doing.
Anyway, I've slowly gotten back into playing (mostly unplugged, tube amps are loud, who knew?
), but warming up the attenuator whenever I can. So like an idiot I finally posted some thread on looking for a T-style w/ a thick neck on TGP thinking sometime later. Later that day, somebody post something pretty legendary line of "How about a Bluesboy with a thick neck? I have one". Well, six days later and it's on a UPS truck. It shipped out last night and should arrive tomorrow.What's even cooler is I'm surprising my daughter with a Daisy Rock electric guitar. She's deciding which one to get; it looks like it's a choice between the Butterfly, the Heart, the Star, the Daisy, or one of the Les Paul shaped ones, color undecided yet. I'm planning on giving it to her on my son's birthday (not making a habit of that, but one time seems fine). We were pouring over the Daisy Rock website and she was gasping "That's so cool!" at everything. Like a true guitarist-in-training, she wants them all. Once she decides on one I'm ordering one for her. She thinks she might get one for her birthday this summer, maybe, so this should be a nice pleasant surprise. I think it will be pretty epic.
I'll admit it. I'm more excited to give my daughter her first electric guitar. She's gravitated (heavily) toward playing lefty so this is actually her first left-handed guitar. That said, I'm pretty geeked about the G&L Bluesboy. I've sort of wanted one for a while and I've had to gravitate toward them over time. I've also got a really nice Logan Strat-style that helped pave the way for me to be here, but I thought I'd be a straight-up Mahogany-and-Rosewood LP-style w/humbuckers guy my whole life. This has been kind of a shock.
Anyway, just wanted to share, I guess. That and re-introduce myself so to speak. If anybody's interested, I'll post some pics once I have them.
-Cheers
