Title: My wife knows me...
Post by: selfdestroyer on October 02, 2013, 06:21:53 PM
Just got this in the mail yesterday. Every year my wife and I get a bunch of smaller presents for each other for our anniversary and this was one of the things she got me.

And here it is with its new home.

It is very comfortable and I am so happy to have a legit strap and not a free nylon one I have been supporting in the past.

haha. I'd be lying if I said half of my house didn't come from Ikea. Now I need to get one of those rugs too.

Oh crap, that reminds me... my anniversary is coming up this month.  Maybe she'd go for a nice new strap to hang on my bass??

Sweet Jazzmaster...is that a '90s MIJ by any chance?

Anyway, I'm liking that strap. My old Fender one is wearing out. I've almost dropped my Mustang more than once!

My wife tends to just give me cash that I can spend on whatever guitar stuff I want...I think she finds my ever-changing wish list hard to keep up with!  :)

It is, and I finally got it setup and playable. I had the string slipping out of the saddle issue with it for months and finally got it staying in place. This is the first offset I have owned and it will definitely stick around.

Nice.... If you yell IKEA a bit to loud at our place, about 75% of our furniture would fall apart!

Cool gift dude! It's so nice when your spouse/friend/partner knows how to choose a gift that you really appreciate. My wife once gave me a really nice black leather guitar strap and a 1:10 scale PRS. We both can't afford a guitar like that, and I would feel really, really bad if she ever gave me the real deal. But it was a cool gesture!

Awesome--I love my '94-ish MIJ Mustang. I've thought about selling it to get an MIJ Jag or Jazzmaster from the same period, and then getting a Mastery Bridge to avoid the strings jumping from the saddle. As it is I still love it though.

I'm a HUGE fan of Couch straps man. I've got two or three and love them. Absolutely dig the color choice!!

Mad props to the wife on this one.

Cool!

I have a couple Couch straps and a VW seat vinyl wallet from them.  Looks like they are stitching the the spot that used to have the metal rivets.  That's a nice change.
