Formal Introductions

[missroserose]

Everyone, I'd like you to meet Kalia.

Ours was an unexpected and whirlwind romance. I was flirting fairly seriously with her roommate, a lovely if high-dollar Gibson Songwriter Studio, when I noticed Kalia's unusual looks and picked her up on a whim. Amazingly, the quality of her voice - warm and deep, but balanced in the midrange with just slightly tremulous highs - had me seriously reconsidering my intentions within a few minutes. And after much comparison with the Songwriter and a few of her other neighbors, as well as a pleasant surprise when I looked at her price tag, I realized she was a real contender for my affections.

Of course, even I wasn't foolhardy enough to make a lifetime commitment on an acquaintance of an hour at most. I went home to think it over, as well as ask my family's counsel. But somewhat to my surprise, they not only urged me to make the leap, but arranged our already-hectic schedule the following day to allow a last-minute proposal before our flight, thus allowing me to take her with us instead of going through a mail-order service. And so, after getting the economic considerations out of the way, it was my joy to take her with me, the beginning of what I'm certain will be a long, passionate and (I hope) fruitful relationship. <3

Congratulations! I'm sure you two will make beautiful music together. [grin] (Hey, someone had to say it.)

And far be it from me to reject good wishes, no matter how punfully presented. :)

Congratulations! That sure is a beautiful guitar you got there!

Now that we're back from vacation, I may have to get some better pictures. One of the things you can't really see in this one is exactly how finely done the inlay is - the frets have these pretty little snowflake designs, and the abalone around the sound hole is both genuine and flawlessly...well, inlaid. And, of course, there's her lovely sound, but you'll just have to come visit to appreciate that one properly.

Yayy! :) Also, lovely. :)

Thanks! I'm completely unreasonably proud of her. Now to work on getting good enough to *deserve* such a lovely and fancy guitar...

Does it speak ill of me and my prurient tendencies that this post made me kinda hot? Or does it speak well of your excellent writing skills and deftly composed metaphor?

Oh,whatever... Sweet axe! ;)

I'm going to go with...both. :) But thank you!
