Always answer when your guitar calls...

This is a story of a saved guitar. I picked up an Epiphone Casino to keep at my office. It is nice because it is a guitar I really wanted for my collection and being a semi hollow, it can actually create enough acoustic volume to make it okay to play it at the office unplugged. And it looks great. I wanted it 60% to noodle on and decompress during the 9-5 and 40% to look nice in the office.

At any rate- last Friday it was calling to me. I hadn't plugged it in since I first picked it up a few months ago and decided to take it home for the weekend a remember how great it sounds plugged into the axe-fx. Really enjoyable weekend. Monday morning I arrived at my office to find my colleagues standing around with a bunch of police. Apparently, the office was broken into over the weekend and items were taken.

I don't know why, after several months of it sitting there, I got the inspiration to take it home that weekend, but I am REALLY glad I did.

So, as the subject line says- when your guitar calls you, don't ignore it, it might know something you don't know....

I bet you're relieved!

I had a similar experience with my (ex)teenage stepson. At the time I had about 30 guitars, 20 of them were really nice, the other 10 had nice personalities :)
I had an impression to move the 20 nicer guitars to another location. A few weeks after I did that, the kid and his friend decided to steal/pawn some of the 10 guitars left at my house, and head for Mexico.

I did get all my stolen guitars back btw (after the police caught him at the last gas station before he crossed the border)

I trust that feeling when I get it!

The End
 
There is a similar story where Gary Moore one day had a thought that something really bad would happen to the Peter Green Les Paul, so that day he put the guitar inside the car instead of in the boot like he normally did. Shortly after on the same day another car rammed his car from behind and smashed the boot in completely - PG LP was save inside the car.

Question 1. (ex)teenage stepson? Is this because he used to be teenage, or he used to be your teenage stepson?

Question 2. If he used to be your teenage stepson, is it because you killed him, or he was executed by the state (I don't know if Arizona has the Death Penalty) for crimes against guitars?

For me, it would have been because no woman is worth that amount of B.S and disrespect.
