It’s been a while since hubby bought his Martin guitar. When he bought it he swore it’s going to be the last guitar that he’ll buy. Of course, I didn’t believe that. As a guitar player, my husband has no vices but has one mean hobby – and that is playing the guitar. He loves guitars and takes care of his guitars as if these were made from porcelain. He would lay them down on the floor and refuse store it standing up because he said its neck might break. Since we live in a modest home this can be a problem. Sometimes I find his guitars “seated” on our sofa and occupying all the space so we have no place to sit. If I don’t remind him to put it away he would not.
So anyway, it’s been two years since he bought one of those famous Martin guitars and wouldn’t you know, he’s now itching for a new one. This time he has his eyes set on a Gretsch guitar. But alas, guitars are so expensive here in the Philippines so he would content himself on window shopping. Then when he heard my brother was coming home from the US he quickly went online and bid on the Gretsch guitars for sale. He won one bid and is now a proud owner of a new Gretsch. He’s happy too because he only paid for half the price.
Here’s his new guitar currently in transit. By November 12 he’s going to finally lay his hands on it and I would be one jealous wife. LOL!
What a bargain! I’m a lover of guitar. I used to play it when I was in my teenage years. But now I seldom do it. I taught my youngest son on how to play the guitar. Now he’s better than me.
That’s one mean looking guitar. I bet your hubby is really happy about this purchase.
The looks of the guitar is amazing.
I’m a guitar player and too bad I can’t buy a new one for myself.
Wow! so lucky! I’m sure he is so deeply excited & of course you too.
Awww…that’s a really nice guitar, and my son says that it should be great for jamming! I still remember the tip I read from one of your blogs on where to buy guitars. We’re still saving up for one though.
Collecting guitars, that’s one mean hobby and very expensive too
But for sure your boys we’ll love their Dad’s guitar collection and might be wonderful guitar players too.
wow nice guitar.. i love acoustic music and i wish marunong akong mag guitara! i dont know how to strum!
wow.. same as my hubby, he has a new Fender guitar and a beat box.. but they are his second loves after me.
what a good looking guitar
That’s a nice guitar. Your hubby must have been so happy to acquire it and add to his collection.
that guitar looks stunning..if i have that (and if i know how to play it), i would definitely feel like a rockstar! \../,
Wow, the guitar looks awesome. Great to know that your husband has musical inclinations. My hubby used to be in a band, too.
You can just borrow sis..heheh.. super nice indeed! I love the color and the size…
Wow nice guitar! Hope to get one of those as well.
That was one heck of a guitar. Great advance Christmas gift indeed.
Congrats on hubby’s new acquisition! There’s always a way if you want something bad enough
I’m going to show this to hubby. I’m sure hes going to be envious. I want to buy him a guitar this Christmas but don’t know which one to buy.
Everyone should have a passion on something… his passion is quite unique that we notice that he really wants to spend for this. We should also look into ourselves, what do we have a passion for… blogging? Yes, we spend a lot here… a lot of time! (lol)
I used to play back in HS. Hubby gave me one for my 28th birthday. Pero nawal na ung amor ko eh, and I sold it nalang. Congrats on the new guitar

I know nothing about guitars, but that’s a nice one! I always wanted to learn how to play, but my mom enrolled me on piano classes instead. =(
Nice guitar! It’s a steal if you can get it at half price. That reminds me, I haven’t tinkered with my dad’s electric guitar for so long.
I can imagine the joy of owning a mean guitar!
I play the guitar, too, and so does the husband. We also plan to upgrade our current guitars to better ones.
That was nice. How I wish I could also learn to play guitar. BTW, it is not yet late to learn. hehehe
That’s a real steal on the guitar. I’m sure your hubby is anxiously awaiting it’s arrival.
Ang ganda naman, that sure looks worth the wait
My husband’s only vice naman is all about cars and accesorizing it. I guess we just have to let them be noh? Kahit minsan ang expensive haays:)
i so envy your husband for knowing how to play the guitar. I also don’t know how to sing but It’s my ultimate wish to at least play the guitar.
Ooh, nice guitar. My husband would like that, too!
that is a nice guitar…my hubby also plays guitar
But if he will use it singing your love song?
I am pretty sure, he is so excited to get hold his new guitar.. commenting from my second blog.. will wait for the BC blogger links mommy…:-)
winning the bid for half the price? that is so great!

They say if you want to learn to play guitar you must learn how to sing first. Your hubby must be a good singer.
