Hamerhack Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 My wife bought me my Artist Custom, so that's her favorite of my modest guitar collection.She hated the Carvin amp I have (SS 100, which I ordered way back in '88 without telling her right before our wedding. It was waiting in our new apartment when we came back from our honeymoon!) She hated it so much, she actually went with to go amp shopping and helped pick out a Rivera Fandango. The clean sounds won her over.Does your significant other have a favorite among your guitars or amps?What's the reason, sound? design? color? the songs you play on it?

polara Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Missus Polara is pretty discerning, as she sings on one of my bands and also is a cellist. She likes my Phantom A5 best for the sound -- very clear, articulate, balanced -- and is probably right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velorush Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 The amp...that's turned...OFF!Reason: she loves the TONE of silence...Extra points if it's stored at church and not at the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo175 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 The wife typically predicates her likes/dislikes on visual appeal of an ax. In stark contrast to her otherwise tasteful preferences, she has latched onto my project JEM as her fave. She gladly contributed monies to help bring it back from the brink of being sold off a year back. I had been tinkering and modifying it for 3 years and it just wasn't coming together as planned so, it was slated for the auction block. She protested and offered to bankroll whatever costs were incurred to make it playable and thus, keep-able. Sadly, I still haven't been able to make it truly stable-worthy (as per my exacting expectations of trem and tone). Outside of that, it plays & looks great but I'm scheming to find a way to unload it to amass funds to pay for the custom order Cali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodan Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 From the evidence I have, I'd say my girlfriend likes my white Chap' and my red Diablo best. We both call the Chap' Mina's Guitar, because it's the one my cat plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobereeno Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Jenny actually has rather particular tastes, more so than I do. She likes Firebirds, of which I have none but she has two Mandobirds. She thinks F-holes are pretty and likes nearly every archtop guitar she's seen. Fireglo Rickenbackers ALWAYS catch her eye. If she thinks a guitar I'm looking at is ugly or the "wrong" color, she'll say so - thumbs down to the Impact bass. The upside is that if she digs it, she'll encourage me to get it. She especially likes my two TLEs and is a big fan of boomerang inlays. Amps? They're just big black boxes to her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
