Default NGD x2: A Froggy and a Bourgeois on 1 day!

Sold off a big item this week and decided I wanted to use my payout on a nice guitar. Couldn’t decide between a nice Froggy Bottom or a beautiful new Bourgeois, so I ended up snagging both!

Wow - now that's a pair of beauties, especially that Froggy! Hey, you only live once, so enjoy the ride. Congrats on a pair of guitars that should inspire some great music.

Nice congrats! The only thing better than a NGD is a double NGD! Love that Froggy!

That is a good day.
Welcome to the Froggy world. I spent a couple hours with my H12 today, as I do most days. It is just a lovely guitar, beautifully constructed and comfortable to play. I'd love to hear that all (?) hog iteration.
Enjoy getting to know your new friends.

David

Yep, a darned good day, I should think. Congrats!

What was the "big item"? An aircraft carrier?

Fantastic acquisitions. I had a double new guitar day once. It’s a special feeling. Congrats.

That’s awesome. I have never bought two guitars on the same day - not sure I could stand the excitement!

How does that Hog Top sound? . I've always liked the Bourgeois hog top models and have almost bought one on several occasions. I just haven't had good luck buying sight unseen,. One of the top guitars I ever played was a standard OM Country Boy about 10 years ago when I couldn't afford such a high level guitar. Since then I've always wanted a bourgeois.
