hey just go and put a little money down on the guitar to hold it, then in a couple of months go and finish paying it. then when you bring it home she will flip out, but keep your cool! just reply by saying " well i thought that if you got your ring ,i could get my guitar?" and when she looks at you with puzzlment in her eyes just say " dont you remember?" and then when she says no you can say " figures you only care about what you want, of course you wouldnt remember what i wanted."
heck it could work!
i bought my wife a ring for christmas and she loves it!, the next fall i was on e-bay and saw a prs tourquise soapbar mcarty , jokingly i sayed to her "hey its the one i want can i bid on it?" and she sayed yes! of course at the time she was saying it sarcasticly but i didnt know! and now i have a beutiful PRS and she doesnt hold it over me!
in the same week my 68 dual showman blew up again!
so she let me get a mesa dc-5 it was great and i still got a lot of sex!!
of course i am poor now!
