For Christmas in 2004 my wife bought me a Gibson Les Paul Standard Limited Edition in Pacific Reef Blue. It was so awesome of her. I told her that I wanted the Manhattan Midnight color. She said that when she got it in she almost cried because it was the wrong color, but I told her "It's a Les Paul, I don't care what color it is." Sorry to steal your thread, I just like to brag on my wife. Congrats on your birthday, your strat, and your baby.

Very cool present qnd cool cake. I owuld go for a new guitar every 3 years though, you will run out of room fast otherwise (lol). Happy birthday, enjoy the guitar and love that woman until the end of time!!!

I told my wife all the great things you all have said. She said she would have done this years ago had she known it would make her so popular!!
She really is a great wife..... thank you all for the well wishes and I can't wait to write something for the new baby on the way.

The strat is a gem!! I have a vibe60s strat that I have posted before on the forums and although that is great guitar, this one just makes me never want to stop playing! Which is good because everyone tells me I will be spending a lot more time at home when the new baby arrives, which is fine by me.

Glad to hear so many of us have thoughtful spouses out there

Will posts some new, better pics soon.

hey throw this one at her.........
tell her she is now known world wide for her birthday deeds.

I've had to sell a couple guitars for the benefit of the family. Thankfully, my wife has been giving me small amounts of IOU's to put towards a "someday" guitar. We'll see what I end up with if "someday" ever becomes today...
