..... and ended up with a new National Tricone.
So Gryphon is having a 35th Birthday celebration with free food and drinks and I've got a gift certificate. I decided that after my usual Saturday Cycling workout I'll cruise by. I find a Robert Johnson song book and this really cool handblown glass slide that doesn't slip off my pinky. I try the slide out on a used National? (that luckily for me is tuned to open G) it sounds pretty good, I try a medicine bottle that sounds good but then I can't get it off my finger.? I'm leaving and the closest guitars to the checkout are the new Nationals and for some reason my brain memorizes the price on the Model 97 as I'm leaving (it also has a different color sales tag). I think about it while at home that's not a bad price. I really wanted to get a 1.5 but hey I'll call and see if I can get it next week but the price is for today only, hmmmmmmmm what to do? I drive back to look at it and my guitar teacher is between students so he plays it now I'm hooked.
I just finished playing it for awhile and it sounds so good I'm dissappointed I didn't buy one earlier. Admittedly it is a bit much guitar for my level of expertise but I do think it may motivate me to play even more.?
Oh yeah I haven't told my wife yet?
