Several years ago, my wife wanted to learn to play the guitar... I have created a monster! She originally bought 'pretty' guitars, ignoring my suggestions. Then, one day I found a deal on a Martin D15 - and she loved it! I then let her pick the color - and ordered her an American Standard Fender Strat... she loved it. I got her a Monoprice tube-type 5W amp with an 8" Celestion speaker - her Peavey VIP-1 is in her closet. I 'suggested' a Cry Baby... she wanted to think about it. Her's arrived yesterday - and she couldn't believe it! I heard her playing with it last night.... wow. I could hear the late Isaac Hayes singing the theme to 'Shaft' in my mind. Oh, she is still learning... but what a smile as she tried it on several of her favorite tunes - and her smile - that was worth it!
