Ever ask your wife to rank your guitars
August 19, 2010 - 4:36pm
Asked my wife to listen to my main three guitars I am playing now. I told her to rank them according to which was the most pleasing to her ears. What do you think was her order? The first guitar is a 1967 J-45, (my high school guitar by the way), 1993 Gibson Centennial 1939 J100, 2009 Legacy TOB Vintage.

I would never ask my wife to rate my guitars--she's about some kind of tone deaf. And besides, I got an onery one and if she could tell one from another, she would sure as hell tell me the one I didn't like. Ah, 43 years and going strong. By the way, she bought me my first Cargo--she may be tone deaf, but she knows what I like, and once in a while she gives it to me. I'm blessed.

She ranked them
1. J-45
2. Legacy
3. J-100
Which shows two things. One, a carbon in the middle of this pack is not bad, he loves wood guitars. Second, I have made no progress inproving my herd since high school.

And 3, when you find what you like, you stick with it. I'd say you have a pretty nice herd. And a pretty good woman, too.

She is a keeper, I met her playing that J-45 so maybe that influenced her beyond the carbon. Known the J-45 only a few years longer than her. Better keep them both.

A marriage is sort of like owning a wood guitar ... if you don't consistently "tweak it", it won't stay in tune!!
(Or the obverse, if you just leave it alone it goes flat.)
But I'm a nooby --- only been married 37 yrs. She's willing to listen to me practice/play and bought me my D-35 when I was without a guitar a couple of years ago -- that's the one she chose, folllowed by the RainSong and CA-OX (although she "likes" all three).

My wife loves the sound of my Steel Rider. I figure it's the open/stereo sound that comes from the dual sound ports.

I would say that my ex-wife would rank my guitars right below me, which is definitely saying something. .. . .

Well, at least you were not at the bottom of the ranking.
Did she peek? I'll bet she picked the carbon fiber. Got you right around her little finger.
