Members DarkHorseJ27 Posted December 12, 2007 Members Share Posted December 12, 2007 The other day I asked my fiancee which guitar seems to match me the best (I have a 1967 Gibson ES-335, and 2005 Fender Custom Telecaster, and an Alvarez AD60K). She replied that she thought my acoustic (the Alvarez) seems to fit me the best. I asked her why and she said she thinks I sound better with my acoustic and seem to enjoy playing it more. I added, "And I probably make my tele look small." She then said, "You make your acoustic look small." For anyone that doesn't know, that model of Alvarez is a dreadnought. So what do you guys think, insult or compliment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members flip333 Posted December 12, 2007 Members Share Posted December 12, 2007 Sounds like a playful insult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted December 12, 2007 Members Share Posted December 12, 2007 Wow! That's like her asking you "does this make me look fat"? The fact that your girlfriend talks to you about your guitars at all is a bonus....why push the envelope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members C70man Posted December 12, 2007 Members Share Posted December 12, 2007 She's still your girlfriend? Then its a compliment. It's probably about your voice, the songs you sing, or the color of your Alvarez. You know how women like everything to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members totamus Posted December 12, 2007 Members Share Posted December 12, 2007 She meant that any guitar pales next to your willful and imposing presence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Samilyn Posted December 12, 2007 Members Share Posted December 12, 2007 My vote goes to "compliment."If it looks like you're enjoying the acoustic more, you probably are. Enjoyment shows and that's always appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hudman Posted December 12, 2007 Members Share Posted December 12, 2007 LMAO Been married a long time, eh, Hud? 12 years but it feels like 12 minutes................... under water. (I stole that one from Knockwood ). In all honesty, I married a skinny woman. She can eat anything and she never gains weight. She had 3 kids and she is 5'7" and 120 lbs. I on the other hand, have no problem gaining weight. It's hard not to the way she feeds me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what do you guys think, insult or compliment? After 30 years of marriage (to my first and only ), my response is you don't even need to ask. :poke:Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any conversation about guitars that doesn't have the word "Sell" the line "You already have too many" in the middle or the word "no" at the end I chalk up as a Victory.

Members DarkHorseJ27 Posted December 12, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 12, 2007 Well, she's tried holding the acoustic and strumming it, but she finds its size makes it difficult for her to do even that. Maybe she meant that I don't make the guitar look so big. The person playing the guitar can change the way the size of the guitar looks. For example, the Beatles made their guitar look rather large.

I am not a big person either and I have an Epiphone Dot-335 and it looks insanely huge on me...I can even make a parlor guitar look big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
