Happy Birthday To Me

Recently, as I have been reorienting my life following the death of my father, I have been slowly trying to learn to play the guitar. This isn’t coming completely out of left field, actually, as when I was a kid I played trumpet and trombone at school and a keyboard at home. I was starting to take guitar lessons when life got in the way, and now here I am 25 years later trying again.

Anyway, after poking around a bit on one of those $100 starter guitars I decided I might as well go ahead and get one that I’d love to play for a long while. With my 40th birthday right around the corner, the timing seemed perfect. (Oh, who am I kidding, I don’t need birthdays as an excuse to buy new toys!) So, here it is, a PRS SE Custom in gray black — not a very expensive instrument by comparison to PRS’ main product line, but still quite nice for the money. I’m really looking forward to actually being able to play it, whenever I get good enough to do more than string one or two chords together. I took some pictures outside on the hood of my car as I was unboxing it, and here they are:

Third - cool new guitar.
