LOL... depends on what the price tag is.
Well, me being hispanic, I don't worry about that stuff like you guys. Waht I say goes, cause I wear the pants. Just a different psychology i noticed between cultures. I always here how you guys cowtow to your women. It puzzles me frankly.
...Of course, dont actually HAVE a woman..but i mean, if i did.

If you didn't spend HER money, you aren't technically required to say sh*t...

Good point Jack.... :icon_thumright:jackthehack said:
I wouldn't say a word, just make sure I was there when it got delivered, and quietly stick it in my guitar room amongst the rest... :laughing7:
here is the link

it was a steal, in terms of price, as for explaining to the wife it's more about the seven guitars and the banjo and the dulcimer, and the two French horns that are already in the dining room.

Hmm. You're new at this stuff, huh? First, you have to have it delivered somewhere else - work, a friend, umm, your bank, a bar etc. Then you sneak it into the house, hide it, and (hard part) you can only play it when she's out, for three or four months. Then, you just kinda leave it out one day, towards the back of the pile.
"Honey, is that another new guitar?"
"Oh, no dear - I've had it quite a while...." :cool01:
NEVER LIE TO YOUR WIFE.

Yes, I agree with stubhead. I always have the stuff delivered to my office. I inspect it, make sure it's OK, then sneak it home. When the wife notices it after a few months, I say something like:
Oh that, I've had that for months, I bought it off (fill in the blank, usually I use the name of my drug addict friend) for a song.
You can use us Warmoth board members. Just tell her one of the idiots here sold it to you real cheap. She'll think you're a genius!

That is a good approach, in fact I used it with my purpleheart neck.
It works best if you already have more guitars than you can remember though.
I have also worked the investment angle. I go into a bit about wood being a diminishing commodity.
Explain how the price of wood has been increasing exponentially, and that this in fact is a shrewd investment.
You are doing it "for the family".
I would really highlight how much of a deal you got on it, and what the profit potential is.
The point is that "for now" you need to hold onto it, because when the economy recovers, you will have a much easier time selling it for a profit.
Then, that just never seems to happen, and the plan is that all will be forgotten.
Just an idea,

Just use distraction. All you have to do is "accidentally" buy something that she really wants. When you have that and the guitar, you say "I was browsing on ebay and I bid really low and I got this stuff. Of course, I can always just resell them...", but since one of the things will be something that she wants, she'll be like "No, you don't have to do that."
