When you finally get your dream guitar

[AlanB]

Hi, so I just made a video about the feeling when you get your new guitar ( spoiler alert: it's a 7 string mayo)

I hope you're a better man than me...everytime I get one of mine, the honeymoon phase doesn't last very long and I go back to my first quality guitar that I've been gigging for decades

Ive been surprised a few times.....It takes some guitars years to reveal their secret but others you expect will live up to your dreams the moment you first play them.

Haha cool - I had a laugh at the first stroke - then the choice of song ;-)
Thanks

Aye, there's a difference between the guitar you're dreaming about and the guitar you end up playing with, which is the real guitar of your dreams.

Had a similar feeling when I got my backpack .strandberg* 7-string.

AND.... my first song was not Smoke On The Water

AND.... my first song was not Smoke On The Water

When I bought my first guitar decades ago the first thing I played on it was the intro to Deep Purple's "The Mule"...and to this day that's the first thing I play on any new gear, be it a guitar, pedal, preamp...when I got my Suhr Classic Pro Strat last year I have to admit I eventually cranked "Smoke On The Water" with it plugged into my Marshall stack. Some things you just have to do...
