Gibson SG

I was looking at my guitar tonight and got a bit overwhelmed. I have a Heritage Cherry Gibson SG Classic. It was a christmas gift from Billy. I still can't believe he bought it for me.

It was our first Christmas together. Almost together a year. He had been in discussions with my dad. Billy wanted to buy me my dream guitar for Christmas. He knew what I wanted and worked his ass off to get it for me. With trying to find the right dealer, the right price, how to get it here, how to get it before christmas and such...and all this without me know anything. We spent so much time together it was so well done that I was clueless. Even when I asked him what he got me for Christmas he said "I got your 6 things." that's all he would say. Later we discussed that and the 6 things he was referring to were the 6 strings on the guitar.

I guess the guitar which was being shipped to sault ste marie michigan. To a friend of Billy's sisters house. It was delivered the Friday (or the last shipping day before christmas). I was on the phone with Billy while he was working at C&C Friday afternoon. During the call the guy whose house the guitar was delivered to walked in the shop. He said something about a guitar to Billy. Billy was worried that I overheard so he told the guy to "shush." After I opened the guitar he asked me if I heard him. I had thought the guy said something about a "car" and since he was working at a body shop thought nothing of it. hahaha....

He had planned on getting me to open the gift at my dads house since my dad helped out in the process. He made me bring my camera so he could take a picture of me opening it. He actually ended up videotaping part of it...and its on YouTube.



I still cannot believe the work, effort, and love that went into getting me that guitar. I look at it and just get this amazing warm feeling inside. I play it and the feeling is just so indescribable. It's like you never left my side....
