I would have sent these three guitars to Joe White!

Finishing can be so frustrating!!!

So if you had a spare $1000, what guitar related thing would you spend yours on?

Probably a drum sander of the 22/44 variety.. but I'd have to move something out of the shop to make room. *ponder*

Just can't help myself! Tell the truth now, some of your were humming this before you saw this!

If I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you a green dress
(But not a real green dress, that's cruel)
And if I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you some art
(A Picasso or a Garfunkel)
If I had a million dollars
(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you a monkey
(Haven't you always wanted a monkey)

-Bare Naked Ladies, greatest song of all time

While there are probably 100 things that are more "sexy" like zoot, or a larger band saw, or ... if $1000 came out of the blue and I had to spend them on guitar related stuff, I'd go for a Clear Vue Cyclone. Now worrying about being able to breathe 30 years down the road beats everything else hands down...

I'd buy my wife something really, REALLY nice.

Then she would be so much more agreeable when I want to buy some tonewood. bliss
