A Girl and a Guitar
So Sean thought it might be fun to trace my recent purchasing journey.....convoluted as it was !
It was the colour that caught my eye.....yes colour doesn't matter in the scheme of things but that's how it began. It was a PRS Hollowbody II SE Piezo. So as I do I went exploring with Mr Google to find out what the guitar was all about. I know it's a bit woo woo but I truly believe things present themselves to you at the most opportune times....you can go with the flow or shut them down. I chose to go with the flow!!
I have 2 acoustic guitars that I avoid playing as they feel bulky and awkward even though I have experimented with different body types/sizes. The PRS Hollowbody seemed an answer to my prayers. A guitar that was lightweight ✅️ , would feel like an electric to hold ✅️, but could emulate an acoustic like sound with its Piezo pick ups✅️. I was hooked!
I watched it on Marketplace for a while and couldn't seem to get it out of my mind. Then came the tricky part....convincing my husband that I really needed this guitar !! "But you already have 3 guitars, why in the world would you need another?" Hmmm how to explain this to a non guitar player ?? So I just mentioned it subtly every so often ......even mentioned I'd sold one of my saddles recently so that would almost completely fund my new guitar..... apparently that was still not convincing enough. Yes, I promised I would sell my acoustics too (and I will).....selling my soul was next on the list !!
OK, then I finally resorted to the age old female weaponry ....the wearing down tactic (sorry I know I'm giving away trade secrets to all you blokes on here 😄😄).
Lastly I employed an expert ....enter to give me his opinion good or otherwise of my choice! He seemed to like the idea so I ran with it b4 I could overthink anything.
Travelled an hour into the suburbs yesterday and met a fellow who had had a stroke a year prior and was downsizing his guitar library. I immediately thought of and his inspirational journey and I told him Ron's story and how he's found his way back to playing. 🎸🎸
Well the rest was inevitable.....I'd done my research and all I needed was for it to feel good in my hands. When I picked it up there was no question it was coming home. The wide/fat neck that I was a bit unsure of when checking the specs felt perfect and the shorter neck also. So there's now a new member in the family......hoping I do her justice and we have some fun times together. Even my husband thinks she's a good looker 😆😆
If you've read this far you deserve a gold star lol. ⭐️⭐️
