New guitar day posts!

[Flat6Driver]

It's a guitar forum, for cryin' out loud. What are we supposed to post pics of, cookware?

I never miss a NGD post, personally. I like seeing people charged up over something that makes them happy.

I'm thinking about buying this kitchen implement. I'll update if I go through with it.

If someone asks my opinion, they get it wether negative or positive, EXCEPT new guitar day. It’s a time to celebrate with them of just fut the shuck up. No need to rain on someone’s parade.

Ask the seller how much does it weigh.

 

[msalama]

But, I politely stay out

So why don't you just ignore them all and have one thing less to complain about then?

 

[RhythmFender]

I love great gear, and I love reading about others who found something they're proud of! I like coming here and sharing my finds with others, and love encouraging people to have what they like too!

Its been several months since my latest NGD post, but I'm as happy with this Player Strat as I was the day I bought it:

Wow, not sure I could like a fiesta red strat, and I have a fiesta red tele. I stand corrected.

Nice strat!

Not made of toanwudz. Avoid like plague!

 

[radiocaster]

I like to ask how much does it weigh, if they say its an 8lb 8oz Strat it makes me snarky and want to ask, hey, are you a weight lifter?

ahem, that's average weight before the internet.

And why would you care, unless you wanted to buy the exact same model?

The NGD posts are are often among of the most joyous on the forum.
I learn about new options, builders and features available.
Love em’!

I feel less curmudgeonly after reading the OP. Thanks!

Best case, you see someone's new Telecaster and think, "Hey, that looks just like mine! They've got great taste, like I do".

Worst case, you see someone's new Tele and think, "Wow, mine looks SOOOO much better than that. What were they thinking?".

Seems like a win-win to me.

 

[northernguitar]

Ha! Too funny when someone gets triggered by something they can avoid altogether.

 

[sloppychops]

I enjoy them. For a lot of people getting a new piece of gear doesn't happen often. Might as well celebrate, and most people's families don't know anything about it. Plus I love seeing guitars.

most people's families don't know anything about it. I think this right here is why we do NGD posts. This is the only place where there are others who will understand.

 

[Lonn]

I can fix your problem. Don't open those threads. You're welcome.

 

[4pickupguy]

This forum is the best place to share a new guitar day because we are all guitarists. I remember before the interwebs I had to go all through town door to door showing everyone my new guitars. It took forever.

Yeah, the roughest were the weddings and funerals.

 

[Fretting out]

Man…. I was gonna make a thread about how lively my 8 pound plus mirror tele sounds

NGD! It’s a tradition!

 

[BrettFuzz]

What is with that? I mean people say wow!. Great guitar, great deal. But many of them I roll my eyes. I'd like to say, to bad you didn't do this or that. But, I politely stay out. I like to ask how much does it weigh, if they say its an 8lb 8oz Strat it makes me snarky and want to ask, hey, are you a weight lifter? But you can't. You get folks bragging about their nauseous finish on their 10 top PRS $7500 guitar that they can't play cause it will devalue it. And everyone loves it. Oh well, it is just one of the things that make it interesting around here. OK discuss.

You're just being a "grumpy old man".
I am sure you are not really like that. Just...live and let live...
Also, (in a selfish way) saying nice things to someone makes you feel better inside than raining on their parade.

curmudgeonly

I didnt know this word exists by now. That is why I like TDPRI, because I can practice english and expand my vocabulary

 

[blue metalflake]

Getting new gear is always nice - no harm in showing it off.
When I click on such a post, if I like what I see, I say so, if I don’t, say nothing.

 

[bender66]

I can bench 15 pounds or maybe more and I can dead lift 19-20. I think I can handle an 8 pound Strat hanging on a strap.

Also every guitar is worth less than you pay for it no matter who makes it. PRS or otherwise.

Do you frequently ride elevators?

Here's my NGD in a NGD thread denouncing NGD's. The tele is 10lbs. I ride elevators.

I always stand in front of the door and face into the elevator car. And I speak to strangers while the doors are shut. Serves them right for stopping one floor before me.
