NGD - The one I always thought was out of reach

[Mr Swisher]

Yes - I'm a big Andy Summers fan.
No - this wasn't planned.
No - My wife doesn't know about this purchase.

Yes - I did hide a guitar in the loft so the number in the rack is identical if she counts (a sunburst Squier CV 60s Tele')

This is my dream guitar.. it will never get better than this for me.

Freaking way cool!!! Congratulations man!

 

[Stubee]

Seriously cool! Love it…

Um...let me know if you need a safe place to store that sunburst Squier CV 60s Tele where your wife will never ever find it.

If she doesn’t know about relics, tell her you found it in a dumpster. Nice guitar, I’m a bit jealous.

 

[985plowboy]

Amazing
Well done!

 

[Killing Floor]

Wow, lovely neck.

And I have a similar method. 2 hooks on the wall. Therefore, there are always 2 empty cases...

 

[Twin52]

That’s a really cool guitar! Congratulations!

 

[rze99]

Sweet guitar. Glad you got what you wanted. It’s a wonderful feeling.

 

[Fretting out]

That is beautiful! 66-67 is one of my favorite eras


“wife doesn’t know” ha!

 

[Greggorios]

I was never a real relic fan but, boy, that's something else. I really like that guitar. Congrats.

 

[Happy Enchilada]

Cool guitar! Lots of mojo!

I always thought that the Federal form you fill out when you purchase a firearm should have a line item that reads:

"Does your wife know you are making this purchase?"

Perish the thought they should EVER have a similar form for guitars ...

NOTE: We need a thread @ how to get a new guitar into the house under the wife's radar.

 

[Mr Swisher]

I managed to get a few shots in the daylight. I like it a lot.

The wife watched me take photos....and didn't bat an eyelid.

 

[Bruxist]

Congrats! It is amazing. Just stunning.

Am building my own Summers tribute without the electronics and I think I prefer it this way.

 

[middy]

Don’t worry, that might buff out.

 

[Jupiter]

she probably thinks it's cute that you think she doesn't know exactly what's going on

 

[Mr Swisher]

Congrats! It is amazing. Just stunning.

Am building my own Summers tribute without the electronics and I think I prefer it this way.

Yes. I absolutely agree, I wanted one that was inspired by his, but without the phase switch and onboard OD, and the precise relic copy

I'm pretty sure Dennis Galuszka built the first replica for Andy in 2007 so he's clearly designed this using that as his main point of reference.

It's perfect

She knows….. she ALWAYS KNOWS….

Wait for the tiny dog with its own wardrobe full of little tiny dog clothes midlife crisis, this will be her first defense

“But you bought an expensive guitar….”

 

[Fretting out]

It’s kind of silly but the logo on the back of the headstock kills the vintage vibe for me

Same thing with mim and newer mij

We guitar players can be fickle

 

[Wooly Fox]

I don't usually like relics but that is something else!

I would like mine in Olympic White or Sherwood Green...
