A couple of years ago I decided that I wanted a guitar for my 40th birthday and had the great idea that anyone could chip in thus getting me something that I probably couldn't really afford on my own.
Yesterday was my 40th and we had a little party at my mums and what came out was a large wrapped present with lots of tags on it from everyone who'd contributed. It was really nicely done and under the wrapping and inside a box with richtone music stickers on was a hard shell case containing one Charvel pro mod so-cal style 1 in red.
It was a top present... arguably the best birthday present I've ever had. There was even a break down of which part of the guitar everyone had contributed towards.
My mum even made a cake with a guitar on it... unfortunately she's a bit too good at that kinda stuff so I knew what was in the box before I opened it, but the cake was yummy.
I supposed you'll all want a photo... so here it is.
Not really had time to play it much yet and it needs new strings and a bit of a set up but it even straight from the box it sounds a plays pretty good, not sure about the dimarzios mind, especially the bridge so that may get swapped out for a C5 or a JB at some point.
my Wife's Canadian based Aunt and Uncle also got me some guitar pics
I may well be past it, but I'm very happy with it
