NGD: Time for a Mini

[Strumming Fool]

So back in 2011, I had joint replacement surgery on my right foot, which had me off my feet (right foot elevated on ice and not playing guitar) for longer than I would have liked....fast forward to today, I'm scheduled for the same surgery on my left foot this coming Tuesday. My sweetheart of a wife took me to my FLGS today to get a new GS Mini - there were three, but I picked the one below:

At least I'll be able to play this time while recuperating in a recliner for a couple of weeks. She's a real beauty (sounds fantastic too!), and I've already swapped out the bridge pins for dyed bone and the tuner buttons for Minnie Pearls - I mean, mini pearloids!

I have the same guitar SF.  I think you will get on with it well.  Playing on the couch is no problem for me.

Congrats SF! Glad to hear you will have a friend to keep you company during recovery. And here's hoping for successful surgery and speedy recovery. We'll be prayin' for ya!

Yeah, what he said.  Except for the lobotomy, of course... I think I can still have kids.   

Congrats on the new Mini, and hope you heal fast.  At least playing that lovely little guitar will help the time pass faster!

Good luck with your surgery. I've been very impressed with the rosewood limited edition GSM's I've played in stores--yours looks particularly gorgeous.

[TaylorMate]

Let your feet hum, while your hands strum. And get well soon!

That's a beautiful Mini SF! For a laminate that back is spectacular!
Heal fast and learn something new whilst you recover....

Congrats Strumming Fool!! Hope your next recovery goes a little smoother

[Strumming Fool]

Thanks for everyone's prayers/wishes on my recovery along with your support of my G.A.S. illness! I know that you've heard it all before, but these Minis are amazing! My wife says that its sound reminds her of a D-45 I used to own, only louder! In any case, the guitar is a joy to play (what fun!), and she sounds so sweet. Glad to have joined the ranks of the GS Mini Club!

You sure picked a purty one! How did it sound compared with the other two? Good luck on your upcoming surgery, and please be sure to keep us posted!
