Proud

During our trip to Nashville during the summer, while visiting the Gibson store, my oldest son told me he was not going to spend anymore of his vacation money and start saving for a new guitar. He already has one electric and one accoustic. His guitar teacher told him "you can never have enough guitars". So, 4 months later, we made a trip to Guitar Center (again... we go there at least once a week) and he had his bag of money and picked out a new Fender Stratocaster.

I wasnt sure if they guy helping us would be hip on counting all those small bills, but he thought it was great. So great in fact that he called over the Asst Mgr and they gave him a 15% discount, and threw in a guitar stand. He ended up saving nearly $60 and walked out with a few bills left over and a huge grin on his face.

In this day with all the economic stress and bailouts, it is cool teaching the value of cash.

That's great. The sack of small bills suggests that your son earns his money somehow. Do you mind sharing how he does it?

Paully,

My regards to the man! My third guitar was a Strat. I wish I still had it. It was a 1960 model....bought it new on music row...

Tell him to work on those chops.

Chores around the house, good grades, generous grandparents & aunties and Guitar Center Gift cards is all he wanted this year.
