Guitar heaven...

I just died and went to guitar heaven today!! haha...

I've just managed to spend nearly 3 hours today trying out and testing out some great guitars. Today was a Takamine day...

I am actually doing a friend's brother a favour, I'm helping him check out guitars to buy. He already half-decided that he wants a Takamine, can't blame him, great guitar! Have one myself!!! Anyway, so i went today to do some scouting and me being a regular at Mahogany's, they just let me browse any and almost all the guitars that i wanted... and they trusted me enough that they let me do it alone...

So did i take advantage of that? OF COURSE I DID!!! Checked out so many guitar and, boy, was I having a nice time. Tried everything from the RM800 ones to one RM19k Martin Eric Clapton Signature Guitar. Found a new dream guitar as well. It's called the Takamine Santa Fe (SF-95). Not only does it sound great, it look like a dream as well. Beautiful Rising sun inlays on the fretboard and exquisite wood and abalone shell rosette inlays... really drooling now... if only i can cough up the cash, eh? HAHA! Until then, i'll just continue dreaming because it's ok RM 4.8k!!!!!!

Another beauty that I saw was a really nice Koa back and sides guitar, very beautiful wood grain. (for the uninitiated, Koa is a rare and beautiful wood only found in Hawaii). Can't remember what the model was though. Anyway, it sounded solid and balanced. The Koa was just.....beautiful... don't know any other way to describe it. All that for only RM6.8k! *rolls eyes* If only... sigh...

Oh well... gotta say that i'm still extremely happy with my Takamine AN-45. That's the best present I've ever gotten. EVER. It's solid cedar top and solid rosewood backs and sides.And that's thanks to my MOM! Love ya, mom.

I wish everyday was guitar heaven.... *dreaming now, please leave a message for when Jeff wakes up*

Sad to say I just got back from a bowling tournament and decided to log in and do some websurfing. Fade2Grey I love your blog. I had some very good laughs. I am doing a paper on christian guitar and have been downloading information for the last hour. I don’t know how I came across Guitar heaven... but I am glad I did. It has set me back a little because I have spent the last hour reading your archives. If you don’t mind I would like to add you to my favorites so I can back again and read some more. Well I need to get back to christian guitar. I am almost finished with it. Great job.

researching takamine guitar and came tumbling across your blog. I LOVE IT! I needed a break from takamine guitar anyways :-) If you don't mind I want to add your
blog to my favorites list so I can come back later on and read some more stuff. Well I guess I should get back to researching takamine guitar.
Even though my search is not on Guitar heaven... I am glad I came across your blog. Keep blogging away!

Hey Fade2Grey. Very nice blog :0) I just got inside from washing and waxing my truck. It is my baby. Took me 2 hours though. So I settled down into my basement and started doing some web surfing. Anyways I am in the process of grabbing my masters degree and have spent the last 6 months researching beginner guitar. In the midst of my surfing I landed smack dab in the middle of your blog. I hope you do not think I am intruding but I must say it is great blog. Even though Guitar heaven... is way off base from beginner guitar I found myself cruising through your blog archives for the last half hour :0) You have some nice blogging friends. Anyways, I need to get back to my mission. I wrote don’t your url and feel free to visit me here at beginner guitar. I am so busy so I can only update my site monthly. Keep up the great work.
