I got her a ring and she got me this!

Bryan · February 8th, 2010, 07:39 PM

My engagement present from my girlfriend--Gibson Hummingbird Artist. I'm very excited about the engagement and the guitar. It's my first acoustic.

Radspin · February 8th, 2010, 07:41 PM

Very cool--she's a keeper! (The girl I mean...well, the guitar also.)

DastardlyDan · February 8th, 2010, 07:45 PM

Gibson Hummingbird... my favorite acoustic guitar of all time congrats man!

BritishBluesBoy · February 8th, 2010, 07:47 PM

Congratulations mate!! That's fantastic!!

smitty54017 · February 8th, 2010, 08:18 PM

She got any sisters who are into us John Candy/Chris Farley type guys?

boris bubbanov · February 8th, 2010, 08:58 PM

That's great, Bryan!!

Sounds like you to are really into one another; always a cool thing.

davie blue · February 8th, 2010, 09:03 PM

Beautiful! Congrats on the engagement and the guitar!

Donnie55 · February 8th, 2010, 09:09 PM

What kind of rings does she like ?.................

Faraldi · February 8th, 2010, 09:14 PM

May this guitar and your relationship become an absolute classic over the course of the next 50 years.

God bless you guys.

Bryan · February 8th, 2010, 10:13 PM

Thanks for the congrats guys, I appreciate it.

Jakedog · February 8th, 2010, 10:42 PM

She gets two thumbs up from ol' Jakedog!! So do you for finding her! Sounds like the gal I've been married to for thirteen years... Maybe I should go find her and give her a smooch! Mine I mean, not yours. Cause that would just be awkward...

bokeh · February 8th, 2010, 10:46 PM

NICE

studio1087 · February 8th, 2010, 10:50 PM

Congratulations on the engagement and congratulations on the guitar.

Wow!

Stubee · February 8th, 2010, 10:53 PM

Nice story, nice woman, nice guitar. All the best to you!

sean79 · February 8th, 2010, 10:59 PM

Congratulations.

Marc Rutters · February 8th, 2010, 11:02 PM

Obviously you both have good taste! Congratulations!

Guitar_Ninja · February 8th, 2010, 11:04 PM

Nice!

Though I must admit, I was secretly hoping it'd be, "CHLAMYDIA!?!"

JohnnyCrash · February 8th, 2010, 11:05 PM

Congrats! I'm tipping a rum back for you and the new misses as we speak! Here's to a good marriage!

PS
Great guitar.

Or 63 year old guys. Any sisters like that?

boneyguy · February 9th, 2010, 01:39 AM

That's gonna be a b!tch to keep on your finger. Just make sure you take it off before doing the dishes.

Congrats.

Westerly Sunn · February 9th, 2010, 02:02 AM

Definitely appears you guys are off on the good foot!

TG · February 9th, 2010, 03:00 AM

Wow. That suggests a long and happy relationship.

sonserve · February 9th, 2010, 03:12 AM

I hope you two are as happy together as I am with my lady. She can't afford a nice guitar but she is cool with me slippin' off to enjoy the ones I have.
Congrats! Count your blessings...

DustyDave · February 9th, 2010, 03:57 AM

Twenty five years ago (our first year together) my wife gave me my favorite guitar; a Martin D18V. Both have aged very nicely.
Here's to your marriage reaching the vintage stage!

Parma_TeleMon · February 9th, 2010, 06:26 AM

My wife gave me a Taylor 814CE. I'm delighted and blessed to have both of 'em. Richest blessings on your relationship and marriage.

Mike Eskimo · February 9th, 2010, 06:50 AM

Her gift is pretty maintenance-free but she'll be pissed if you don't humidify yours...

Congratulations..!!!

After 8 years of marriage, my wife just brought me a new guitar. Telecaster... Heaven, loaded with Seymours. The love of a good woman is just wonderfull

Cog513 · February 9th, 2010, 07:57 AM

Telenator · February 9th, 2010, 08:14 AM

Dan German · February 9th, 2010, 08:56 AM

Aren't those guitars for people who don't know the words?

Hello...? Is this thing on...??

Seriously, you got you a good one there! (The fiancee, I mean.) It took my wife ten years before she started buying me guitars. But she never complained if I bought them, so I'm OK with it.

tpaul · February 9th, 2010, 09:06 AM

I was half expecting a picture of a baby.

Well... enjoy the guitar now (and the lady, too)... after the baby arrives the priorities may be adjusted a bit.

José · February 9th, 2010, 09:08 AM

Lucky guy, my wife only gave me 3 sons. Gorgeous Humingbird, I've got an Ibanez copy which is very good that I use at home. I don't thing my lovely woman is gonna buy me a Gibson one.
