NGD BDAY WRAY
Howdy all and yep, New Guitar Day, Birthday and Will Ray all packed in one week, here are all the fun details.
I finally got a Will Ray Signature ASAT!
Three weeks before my birthday my wife was asking if there was any guitar that I could get what would it be? I thought it was an odd suggestion but run with I did. After saying I still wanted to get a Will Ray Signature ASAT she informed me she had booked me a couple of hours of lesson time with the one and only WILL RAY(!!!), and told me I better get the guitar I always wanted before my lesson. To say the least I was speechless. I am a lucky man that my wife pays attention to all of my babbling and I guess she has heard me talk about Will’s playing and this guitar for too long. I found this silver flake Will Ray on the net calling my name, and the silver ones are my favorite of the color options.
Will is the coolest player and most patient dude around. Let's say that when playing in front of one of my guitar heroes I was less than stellar, mind and fingers not so nimble. But, I can proudly say I suck less now on the bender than I did before my Will Ray tutelage! Homework in hand and many practice hours ahead, this sparkly silver Will Ray ASAT will be constant companion for a long time. My wife can’t complain about my mistress, it was her suggestion.
Here she is and even came with all DVD’s and paperwork, not bad for a 2008 gitar. Will was kind enough to sign the back of the headstock. This solid body B-Bending monster is the coolest cat in the room.
Will's signature and a Satriani Skulls strap that matches inlay. Had to get strap this week for the heck of it.
Off to go on a B-BENDER!!!! (B-Bender's are the only benders I go on these days!)

You did great at your lesson, Sam. Love that silver sparkle WR too. Your wife Fiona really made sure you had a great birthday. Hang on to her.
Now, time to think about Christmas! Ha!

Nice! She's a good woman Sam.
I heard about the lesson and was wondering if a new guitar was involved as part of the package.
Congrats and happy birthday.

That is just too cool all the way around Sam!
Happy belated! Isn't it great to have someone by your side that understands and is supportive? I'm talking about the wife, Sam, not the WRAY.
Not only is it a great guitar, it is treasured gem instantly, thanks to Will.
Looks like the Green Hornet and Kato with have to keep each other company for a while.

Re: NGD BDAY WRAY
Your wife is a very special lady!
And you're going to have so much fun, you'll be amazed what you'll be getting up to, and sooner than you think. The WR is a unique and wonderful thing. I find the neck-and-bridge selection is the best Tele I could ever wish for, does a lovely "Truck Stop Girl".
Super-happy story. Hug that girl!!
