Default BEANO
My wife has been encouraging me to buy another guitar, but honestly the three I have are exceptional. The Rick is a very rare bird that plays like no other Rick I’ve played (recently played a set at my daughters wedding with it...it blew the wedding band guitarists away “I have never seen a Rick like that”), my guild is just a treat to play, I can make it sound like any acoustic I choose), and my les Paul is other worldly. You can call me Beano.

Your wife is definitely a keeper and you should keep her happy - go crazy and buy another guitar!

Seriously, many of us dream of being in that position!*


*For the record I am also one of the lucky ones!

You need a smaller body - 000 or 00 - to go with the Dreadnaught.

Thinking the same thing. It would be hard to make a Dread sound like a 00.

I'd buy one before she changes her mind; if she's anything like mine it's already too late...

Nah, on AGF, wives are angels; on another gear forum (which shall remain nameless!), they're supermodels!

Maybe she's cheating on him and it's all just a ruse?

I'm not sure if I should call you Garlic Breath or Beano, but I am sure I don't want to be the one to use the bathroom after you on a Saturday morning.
