With absolutely no relevancy to the topic name, this is the happiest friggen day of my life. I recived a Martin 000-16GT (YES!! Coincidentally the exact same acoustic guitar Opeth used for D1 and D2 and maybe Blackwater Park?)
The story behind it is incredible. Yesterday was my B-day and it was shit like usual, like my Uncle talking about buying a $700 Taylor for my other Uncle, and he's like "Nah, I got too many, quit it" and then I chime in and was denied hard core. I only have 3 extremely crappy guitars which I hate and my Uncle already has a Studio Gibson Les Paul, Fender strat, $1,100 Ernie Ball Guitar (quite impressive if you ask me), and like a few others, and at least 3 or 4 acoustics (all which my uncle spoiled him with). I don't usually mind, but he's talking about getting what is a dream guitar for me, on my B-day for someone else. He kept asking me if I wanted Golf Clubs or a Fishing rod, and it pissed me off, because I don't want those things!
The only things I want that'd make me happy forever are:
Schecter C-1 classic
Digitech Guitar workstation
Martin or Taylor acoustic.
Anyways... after what was a shitty day, I go over to stay the night at my drummer's house looking to get a little drunk and preform my smoking vice freely, when all of a sudden my drummer came up and said his dad wanted to kick my ass. Knowing he was kidding, I went into his parent's room and there lying on the bed was his Martin in its case, which he had recieved from impounding a car, and he told me to open it up. At this point, I was nervous, thinking I might have somehow fucked it up when I was playing but instead...
He proclaimed the ethereal words "It's yours." Holy shit a $1,400 guitar is MINE. This is amazing since I can't afford expensive guitars like this or just have "$1,000" to dish out for "my needs", so you can imagine the ectasy and jubilance I had built up inside of me. And afterwards to find out it's the identicle model Opeth uses gave me a nice, stern woody.
Anyways, proceeding to discussion, has anything like this happened to any of you guys?
