Found a Eastman SB 59 I wanted to adopt ,it needs a good home my wife said no

Eastman has entered the solid body market with these SB 59’s google them . I never knew and yesterday a friend of mine called me. And said you need to stop around my shop and check this out so I did. It is sweet mahogany body mahogany one piece neck thru. It has lollar humbuckers. Oozes tone even unplugged it is a consignment sale.

So I told him let me think about it so yesterday in other words I have to be a grown up and check with my wife. Yesterday I obsessed about it keeping it to myself trying to find that moment to bring it up. My go to is my tokai Les Paul reborn bought it in 85 army west Germany. and after a good night sleep I woke up this morning totally over the guitar I thought and I realized I wasn’t. So over coffee this morning I brought up the Eastman needing a good home. Showed my wife the specs online and she said NO!

So then I made my wife a second cup of coffee and asked how about now still no. So after I made her a bagel with cream cheese I asked how about now. She knows I’m now playing and I got a KNOCK IT OFF! so I said maybe Santa will hook me up.

I can’t imagine being married to a gear head like you, dude.

Rest assured, if yo tales be true, it’s yours, just depends on when. Your wife seems pretty awesome...

I’ve been a semi pro collector of guitars since 84 and since 87 a semi pro collector of insane dogs. it’s a disease I can’t help it. I am the victim here.
