God bless the wives..
I gave her a saddle on our wedding day. She ordered an 8 string
built to my specs.
20 years later she got a ring and I got surprised with a reso
that I had raved about and played at a festival....
I planned for the 8 string and several others. Some purchases
were the result of "shock and awe", an unanticipated listening
experience.
