DetroitBlues Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Wow. Ultimate test of willpower there!
Rob2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 Yes, and my wife doesn't understand why I shouldn't open it (although she made it clear she doesn't care). Speaking of my wife, maybe someone here can help me figure out how I can explain to her why I just bought two of the "same" guitars. I don't think she'll appreciate the nuances of P90s, humbuckers, hollow, and semi-hollow.
Rob2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 Maybe I just should say "the better to write songs for you"? (then I would have to start writing songs)

Rob2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 Good for you! 27 years for me. You're smart to have them all differently looking. Nice \collection.

Gitfiddler Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Some guitar shops void the warranty if the buyer opens the box before the 24 hour acclimation period. https://davesguitar.com/382833/wait-24-hours/
Rob2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 It does help me on the domestic front that the value of the gear I've sold on Reverb in the past few weeks is more than the cost of the gear I've bought, and I've decluttered the house a bit by getting ride of a bunch of pedals in boxes

I'm sure it will be okay.
Rob2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 oh, you can be sure I know that In all seriousness, when I'm done with work today I'm going to put a wound 3rd on my 530 and then enjoy that guitar tonight in a zoom jam, and let this guitar be until tomorrow
ej150 Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Go ahead and open it - it's been warm the past couple weeks, it'll be fine.
Rob2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Author Posted November 12, 2020 It's you guys who are dying to see it -- haha you'll have to wait
