Deluxe Stratocaster V-Neck

I played my dream guitar last night and I didn't like it. I was so disappointed. I had a lot of fun though. The night started when I felt spry, so I got up, put on my Kangol and hit the road. As I pulled into the parking lot, my windshield shined as bright as an angel's wings when Guitar Center came into view. I got out of my car and as soon as the double doors opened I felt like I was at home. I'm sure the elation felt by car enthusiast at a car show or chubby folk at a Vegas buffet is the same.

There were so many guitars; Fender's, Epiphone's, Gibson hollow body's, PRS. I started out on a Telecaster, nice, but not me. Then I played the Jazzmaster; loved the tone, but didn't like the feel. Next a Texas Fat Strat with one set of humbucker pickups, nice, but still not me. Then I called the salesman over and played the Deluxe Ash Stratocaster. It was absolutely beautiful to gaze at. The maple fretboard, the Abalone dot inlays. It was smooth and had a very rich tone. I really liked it but couldn't get my mind around paying the price that was being asked for it especially when I have a strat and I've already done some customizing to it. I put it down and then I played an Epiphone hollow body; that was it. I must've sat there for an hour or so falling in love with it. I even got two compliments from random strangers, they stopped and talked with me and even stood beside me to listen as I played; compliments are always nice. Having friends that will keep me grounded is priceless.

I told K and L the events that transpired at the music store, the playing the guitar, the compliments, the sweet sound of the guitar, "You know Will, they just work for Guitar Center and they only gave you the compliment so you'd buy the guitar;" consider me humbled! You know, I think K and L need a theme song; "K and L, K and L, that's what a friendship is...all about!" Maybe, "5...5...you only got 5 bucks!?!?!? (what's that about)" Anyway, I didn't buy the guitar. It cost a lot and I don't really have the money for it, but it is always nice to dream - that's why I bought a new pillow last night, I had guitars on my mind!
